Come fly with me
You might remember the two-part GTA 5 secrets round-up I did many moons ago when the game first released. Perhaps you remember one secret in particular - the mystery surrounding the Mount Chiliad mural, where players could spy seemingly innocuous etchings depicting eggs and jetpacks and UFOs in the cable car station. Turns out they may not be so innocuous after all.
According to Chr0m3 x MoDz, a member of the Se7enSins community, several strings of code in GTA 5 seem to allude to the existence of a jetpack.
The user has posted screen grabs of what they claim to be the source code for Grand Theft Auto 5 1.12, and apparently the same parts of the code in previous versions did not include jetpack references. Incoming DLC unlock, perhaps?
I won't pretend I understand even the faintest bit about coding, but you can see the strings of text below for yourself.

I have only one further question, your honour - if we're getting a jetpack now, when do we find out what the egg part of the mural means?
