GTA 5 modder brings the Cayo Perico heist to single-player

While GTA Online offers plenty of hustle and bustle, some people prefer the solace of single-player. You can still live amongst Los Santos and go about your day-to-day grind, though chances are you won't be blown to bits by a rocket from a flying motorbike. While GTA Online's heists are one of the few things that tempt me to break stride, even those are coming to single-player thanks to the work of modders.

HKH191 managed to bring the crime game's most recent outing, the Cayo Perico heist, to GTA 5's offline mode, finally allowing me to rob El Rubio as Trevor. You're even getting the Kosatka, a chonking giant submarine with missiles that features in the Cayo Percio update.

The heist comes with five startup missions and one big finale. Much like GTA Online, you can do this one solo, but you can get a team of AI teammates if you fancy tackling this with a gang. The way you approach the finale still comes down to decisions you make, such as what vehicle you want to kick things off with.

GTA 5 was the most watched Twitch game in March

Three things in life are guaranteed: death, taxes, and people still buying Grand Theft Auto 5. After jumping back into the Steam top seller's list recently, the open-world game was the number one game on Twitch for March 2021, the first time it's attained the honour.

The achievement was logged by StreamElements, a toolkit and support network for streamers. According to its data, Grand Theft Auto 5 logged the most hours watched on Twitch during March of this year, viewers tuning in for a combined 181,000,000 hours. This is nearly 40,000,000 above the next entry down, League of Legends, and over 70,000,000 above Fortnite. It's the first time Rockstar's behemoth has placed this high, at least since 2016 when StreamElements began recording this data.

Just chatting is still plainly number one on the list, making up 265,000,000 hours watched in total for the month. More and more variety streamers are coming to the platform, and the streams are getting more, um, varied, shall we say. Over two million hours of sleep streams were watched, led by Ludwig Ahgren, whose endless subathon stream is actually still going, over three weeks strong at time of writing.

GTA Online's weekly update is a callback to the Freemode Events update

It do be that time of the week again. Every Thursday, we get the GTA Online weekly reset, which means a new host of bonuses and discounts to mull over in Los Santos. Usually, though, it involves someone on Twitter or Reddit cursing their luck as a car they bought last week is on discount this week. Rockstar typically posts the full rundown of each update on its Newswire later on in the day, but the update is already live, so people post what it entails online.

If you're looking to make some dosh this week, Freemode challenges and the Hunting Pack adversary mode is dishing out triple the usual reward. Both of these modes came to Los Santos in GTA Online's Freemode Events update back in 2015. The first is pretty self-explanatory and involves open-world quests that pop up every 12 minutes or so, around half a day in-game.

Hunting Pack, meanwhile, is a multiplayer mode that sees players split into three teams. One player has to escort a bomb, while the other players are divided up into attacks and defenders.

GTA Online's weekly update ups rewards for parachuting fans

It's both Thursday and April 1, which makes it GTA Online reset day on April Fool's Day - a most precarious position for us to be in. Thankfully, there doesn't seem to be any tomfoolery from Rockstar Games just yet, and the weekly refresh of bonuses and content has gone ahead in Los Santos as normal. Rockstar's newswire post arrives later in the day, though, so keep your head on a swivel.

This week is a good one to make some extra dosh if you're a fan of parachuting in GTA Online. The Drop Zone adversary mode is dishing out triple the usual reward, and regular parachuting missions are offering up double your standard reward. Rockstar added Drop Zone missions back in 2016, which task teams with leaping out of an aircraft and taking control of a zone. Standard parachuting missions are a simpler affair and merely involve navigating yourself through checkpoints as you drift to the ground.

If you're looking for something else to do, though, you can also get double rewards on biker sell missions. These ones are also a doddle and involve setting up a business and running supplies while out in the open world - just look out for parachuters.
