GTA Online's Los Santos Summer Special update is live - here's what it brings

August 11, 2020 Now that GTA Online's summer update is here, players have began discovering everything that's new.

Rockstar has brought oodles of new activities to GTA Online to keep you entertained ahead of Grand Theft Auto's "biggest update ever". Now that the update is here, you'll notice that there is a myriad of new things to do from co-op missions launched from your yacht to the new cars and Open Wheel Races.

If you own the Galaxy Super Yacht you'll be able to jump into a selection of new missions by yourself or with three friends. Those missions involve a variety of things from deep-sea diving to "high-speed hi-jinks on the high seas". There are also eight new casino adversary modes you can try with up to seven pals.

You'll also find 15 new cars available for purchase from GTA Online's car retailers - I hope you've been saving. Those new cars include off-roaders, turnable sports cars, and two new Open Wheel cars. Check out the image from NuroCitrix below for a visual on all the new cars, how much they cost, and where you can buy them from.

GTA 5 podium car: here's what vehicle you can win in GTA Online for week 45

What is the GTA 5 podium car this week? GTA Online vehicles are expensive things, so we're happy to take a spin on the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel to get a discount. Winning isn't guaranteed, sure, but it isn't out of the question either. Look, we don't have a problem - leave it alone.

You can spin the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel once a day, and each Podium Car refreshes after seven days on a Thursday. Basically, you have seven shots to get the vehicle of that given week. If you own a Penthouse, you can spin it for free, but if you don't it's $500 a spin. Don't fret if you don't win, though, as you can win something else. You have a one in 20 chance of getting the podium vehicle, a car discount, or a mystery prize. There's a four in 20 chance of getting clothes, chips, and cash. Finally, there's a five in 20 chance of getting RP.

Keeping tabs on the GTA Online podium car can be a bother, though, so we're going to keep this GTA 5 guide updated so you have somewhere to check back on. On that note, here's the GTA 5 podium car for this week.

GTA 5 sales got a record-setting boost from the Epic Store giveaway

If you're a fan of free PC games - and who isn't? - then the Epic Games Store has been providing a regular source of solid freebies. None of those have been bigger than the free release of Grand Theft Auto V, and that giveaway had no negative effect on GTA 5's ridiculous sales, In fact, publisher Take-Two says the promotion helped GTA reach ever higher sales numbers.

GTA 5 sold through more units during the first quarter of Take-Two's financial year - meaning April 1 through June 30 - than in any other first quarter since launch. The six weeks following the Epic Store giveaway also had more GTA 5 sales than the same period in any previous years. Take-Two says the Epic promotion was a "contributing factor" to the sales success.

Total sales of GTA 5 have now reached 135 million, as Take-Two says during its latest financial results call, up from 130 million during the last financial report three months ago.

GTA Online's best anti-troll gun is on sale

GTA Online is running some specials this week connected to its Survival Series and Arena War modes, and it's your chance to pick up one of the action-adventure game's best anti-troll guns at a discount. The Up-n-Atomizer is 35% off its usual GTA$399,000, meaning you can pick your own space ray gun up for a cool GTA$259K. Here's why you should do it.

As GameStar points out, the Up-n-Atomizer, which was introduced during the Festive Surprise 2018 event, doesn't actually do a lot of damage, but it has other qualities that make it an invaluable tool to have in your kit-bag. You see, cheaters using various hacks often don't care about how much damage your weapons do because they're using god mode options found in mod menus. Thus, conventional weapons are typically useless against them.

That's where the Up-n-Atomizer comes in. This space age pistol emits a strong burst of energy that pushes players or vehicles back with a significant amount of force. God mode may protect cheaters from being physically damaged by the beam, but it doesn't keep them from being ragdolled by its physics effects - meaning you can make sure they're having just as bad a day as they were hoping to inflict on you.

GTA Online's most popular money cheats have been patched

Rockstar has fixed two of GTA Online's most prominent money cheats. That comes from Grand Theft Auto V data miner TezFunz2 (below), who reports that the apartment transfer workaround and Cashing Out duplication glitch was fixed in a background update earlier this week.

The apartment transfer glitch was initially patched out last month, but GTA Online players swiftly found a workaround. Getting the GTA 5 cheat to work originally involved players buying a cheap and expensive apartment across two of their characters and transferring money between them.

As for the Cashing Out dupe, that was done by getting the free Elegy car and starting the Cashing Out mission from the Casino update. Quitting out after a few minutes would allow you to dupe any Arena War car of your fancy. These GTA cars are notably quite expensive, so they sell for a bunch. It remains to be seen if players find a workaround for the Cashing Out dupe, but it looks like the apartment transfer glitch is gone for good this time.
