GTA Online's weekly update boosts rewards on freemode events

It's Thursday, gang, and you know what that means. GTA Online's reset day is here, so players are dipping in to see what's new. As always, Rockstar Games will post the full patch notes on the Newswire later on in the day, but the update is already here, so why wait?

The Business Battles and Criminal Damage freemode events offer the biggest rewards boost this week. You can get triple the in-game cash and reputation points for doing them until next Thursday. Meanwhile, the Running Back adversary mode and Last Play contract missions are offering double the standard reward. Finally, the rewards from a series of tasks from The Contract update called Payphone Hits have got a wee boost.

If you're looking for a new set of wheels this week, the GTA Prize Ride is the Sugoi, which you can fetch after placing in the top three of pursuit races for five days in a row. The GTA podium vehicle, meanwhile, is the Flash GT. Head over to the Diamond Casino and take a spin on the wheel to get a chance of winning it.

GTA Online's weekly update boosts rewards on security contracts

It's reset day in Los Santos, which means GTA Online's weekly update is here. Rockstar Games will post the official rundown on its newswire later in the day, but the update is already here, so players are jumping in and seeing what's new.

Unfortunately, you're not getting a new car from The Contract update today, though there are plenty of other ways to get a new set of wheels. The GTA podium vehicle is the Retinue at the Diamond Casino if you're feeling lucky. Meanwhile, the GTA Prize Ride is the Rapid GT Classic, which you can get after finishing in the top three of five street races. There's slightly less luck involved in the Prize Ride challenge, so it might be the one to go for.

If you're looking to raise some funds, you can get triple the in-game currency and reputation points on air races and air freight cargo-related missions. Players seem to be excited about security contracts, though, as you can get double the usual rewards on them this week, alongside flight school activities and the Trap Door adversary mode. If you've been out of the loop, Rockstar introduced security contracts as a series of open-world missions in game's most recent update. They can be conducted by any CEO, VIP, or MC Club president, and typically involve protecting or eliminating something for a client.

GTA Online's weekly update brings a free car

It's Thursday in Los Santos, friends, and that means it's time for GTA Online's weekly update. Rockstar Games has added the official notes to the Newswire, though the update has been live since this morning.

This week you're getting a free car to add to your garage. The Weeny Issi is a two-door soft-top convertible that usually costs $18,000 in-game bucks at Southern San Andreas Super Autos. This week, though, it's yours for free. If you're looking for more gratis goodies, the GTA Prize Ride is the Truffade Nero, which you can fetch by placing in the top three of a pursuit series race for five days in a row. The GTA podium car, meanwhile, is the Ocelot Penetrator. It's not guaranteed, per se, but maybe you'll get lucky.

If you're looking to raise funds, though, you might want to give The Vespucci Job adversary mode and open-wheel races a spin as they're offering triple their usual offerings of in-game cash and reputation points. Meanwhile, time trials and bodyguard work are offering double the standard rewards.

GTA Online opens The Contract's best missions to everyone

The last big update for GTA Online added The Contract, a new story that had Franklin working with Dr. Dre (as himself) to recover some stolen recordings. But arguably the best stuff in the update was locked behind that VIP contract mission string: Short Trips with Franklin and Lamar. Now, everyone in GTA Online can accept those jobs without completing The Contract.

You can access the missions through the Jobs Menu, and now through February 16, they're worth double the GTA$ and RP they normally award. The story sees Franklin, who's gotten pretty respectable in the time since the GTA V story wrapped up, and his old pal Lamar sees a chance to do the same for himself.

Now running his own cannabis dispensary chain, Lamar enlists Franklin's help to deal with a bunch of the unforeseen headaches that go along with a start-up business. It's a chance for Franklin to get out of the house for a while, so he's game to cruise around with his old buddy for a bit (as long as it doesn't get him in trouble with his wife Tanisha).

It may be reset day in Los Santos, but there's a more important date on the horizon. Next Monday - February 14 - is Valentine's Day, so GTA Online is getting oodles of occasion-specific goodies to make this week's update good and proper. Rockstar Games will have the full rundown on its Newswire later, though the update is already live, so fans are documenting what's new exactly.

You can log in to get a fancy t-shirt, weapon tints, and the Gusenberg Sweeper for free. You've also got an increased chance of seeing the pink diamond as loot in Cayo Perico. You can also earn triple the usual reputation points and in-game cash payout on the Shotgun Wedding deathmatch and 'Till Death Do Us Part adversary mode. If that doesn't send your heart aflutter, you can get triple the usual rewards doing casino story content and missions.

There's plenty here for you car fans, too. Rockstar has added the Baller ST luxury four-door SUV from The Contract update to Legendary Motorsport. You can pick it up for $890,000 in-game bucks or $667,500 if you have something to trade in. The GTA podium vehicle is the BF Club if you're feeling lucky. Meanwhile, the GTA Prize Ride is the Roosevelt - win a street race series for three days straight, and it'll be yours.
