Paint the Town Red, White, and Blue With GTA Online Independence Day Bonuses

Independence Day festivities have arrived in Southern San Andreas. Log in to receive a trio of appropriately themed Bucket Hats, plus enjoy Independence Day Discounts with 50% off the star-spangled Sovereign motorcycle, Liberator monster truck, and a wide range of patriotic paraphernalia.

There's also a special red, white, and blue wrapped Karin Boor in The Diamond’s lobby that's attainable with either a fortuitous spin of the Lucky Wheel or by completing The Podium Robbery — one of this week's Salvage Yard targets.



ÖVERFLÖD PIPISTRELLO SUPERCAR NOW AVAILABLE

Celebrate American Independence this week with the Överflöd Pipistrello (Super). While it may be a foreign export, its disregard for safety regulations makes it a perfect cultural fit.

GET INDEPENDENCE DAY REWARDS

Play GTA Online anytime this week to receive a trio of sun-shielding hats in a variety of patriotic patterns: the Fireworks Bucket Hat, Stars and Stripes Bucket Hat, and the Lady Liberty Bucket Hat.

Plus, keep an eye out for crates retrieved from Business Battles containing the Pißwasser Beer Hat, Benedict Beer Hat, Patriot Beer Hat, and Supa Wet Beer Hat or the Statue of Happiness T-Shirt for some Liberty City flair.

GTA Online update pops a quality-of-life feature behind the GTA+ paywall, making it unavailable on PC

We've had the enshittification of Google, Facebook and the public internet at large, now for the enshittification of GTA Online. What do you mean, "it was enshittified to start with"? Take it to the comments please, because first I need to tell you about the latest GTA Online update, which allows you to collect cash accumulated in safes, request vehicles and replenish ammo using your in-game phone - but only if you pay up $8 or $7 a month for a GTA+ subscription, which is currently not available on PC.

GTA Online adds a quality-of-life feature players have wanted for years then upsets everyone by paywalling it: 'One of the slimiest things they've done in a while'




There's one quality-of-life feature that GTA Online players have wanted pretty much since the game came out, and Rockstar's just got around to implementing it—behind a paywall. GTA Online's latest event is called Bottom Dollar Bounties and focuses on letting players live that Dog the Bounty Hunter life in Los Santos, but it also adds the new Vinewood Club app to in-game phones...

GTA Online: Bottom Dollar Bounties Out Now

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
After a dedicated career tracking down the state’s most wanted, notorious bounty hunter Maude Eccles is hanging up her cuffs and offering a golden opportunity to those with a burning passion for justice in GTA Online: Bottom Dollar Bounties, now available.



As the new lead dog for Bottom Dollar Bail Enforcement, link up with the Junior Assistant Bounty Hunter in training — Maude’s daughter Jenette — to run this clean-up crew, taking down an assortment of valuable targets, including some of Southern San Andreas’ Most Wanted. Become just the type of agent of justice the state needs by tracking down and hauling in these dangerous miscreants — utilizing everything from ruthless intimidation tactics to thwarting further criminal activity — in the latest action-packed addition to GTA Online.

In this summer’s update, LSPD officer Vincent Effenburger also needs your help in new off-the-books Dispatch Work. Plus, enjoy a wide assortment of new rides including new Law Enforcement Vehicles, new Drift Tuning upgrades for select vehicles, as well as new tools and props in the Creator.



SET UP SHOP

The Bottom Dollar Bail Enforcement Office provides everything you need to start hauling in bounties and earning a hero’s wage. After Maude makes contact, visit Maze Bank Foreclosures to choose from an assortment of available locations. Each one includes a Bail Enforcement System computer that lists available targets to choose from: three Standard Targets and one Most Wanted Target.

There’s also a holding cell for those you’ve apprehended, CCTV access, a safe, and a garage space with room for two Personal Vehicles and the Bottom Dollar-branded Bail Enforcement van used for shepherding captured criminals. Customize your office by choosing one of three different styles, up to two additional staff members for boosting efficiency, a gun locker, and armor plating for your van.



LOS SANTOS MOST WANTED

While Standard Targets are more likely to be your garden variety lowlifes, the Most Wanted Targets are the upper echelon of criminal scum: CEOs, movie stars, legendary street racers, and the like. Most Wanted Targets can be completed once per day, while ambitious bounty hunters can wrangle as many Standard Targets as they want.

It also pays to remember this ain’t the Wild West — both Standard and Most Wanted Targets are considerably more valuable alive than dead, so be cautious when doling out lethal force, even when dealing with the most intense stand-offs. Non-lethal equipment like the Stun Gun can prove useful when attempting to subdue targets. You can use the Bail Enforcement van to safely haul live Bounties back to your holding cell, or if need be, deliver their remains to LS County Coroners.



STREET JUSTICE

The Eccles family aren’t the only ones trying to clean up Los Santos. Vincent’s become frustrated recently by the LSPD’s corruption, and he’s not above asking for help.

To take part in new Dispatch Work in Freemode, meet with Vincent and make sure you’ve completed the Slush Fund mission in The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid to unlock any of the three new Law Enforcement Vehicles available today at Warstock Cache & Carry, or use previously unlocked Law Enforcement Vehicles like the Stanier LE Cruiser and Unmarked Cruiser from The Chop Shop, or the Bravado Gauntlet Interceptor from The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid.

Once inside an eligible vehicle, you can request Dispatch Work or accept Vincent’s invitation. Moonlighting as an off-the-books enforcer does require you to keep a low profile — so retire your CEO, VIP, or MC President status before taking on Dispatch Work.

NEW LAW ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES

This update also adds a trio of Law Enforcement Vehicles requisitioned from local authorities that are useful for aspiring vigilantes, and also allow you to take part in Dispatch Work for Vincent:

• Declasse Impaler SZ Cruiser
• Bravado Greenwood Cruiser
• Bravado Dorado Cruiser

Available now to purchase from Warstock Cache & Carry if you've completed the Slush Fund mission in The Cluckin’ Bell Farm Raid.

NEW VEHICLES

GTA Online: Bottom Dollar Bounties features a collection of versatile new vehicles across an assortment of classes. The luxurious Enus Paragon S (Sports) and the stunning Bollokan Envisage (Sports) are both tremendously capable off the lot, and made even more powerful with Imani Tech modifications available at your Agency.

The Übermacht Niobe (Sports) is the best of both worlds: gas-guzzling speed and power with a hybrid’s superiority complex, while the Annis Euros X32 (Coupe) is a new spin on a glorious classic.

Today’s update also introduces the curvaceous Invetero Coquette D1 (Sports Classic) and the rugged Declasse Yosemite 1500 (Off-Road).



DRIFT TUNING UPDATES

Take on the city’s drift racing scene by installing Drift Tuning in three newly eligible vehicles — the Vulcar Nebula Turbo (Sports Classic), Übermacht Cypher (Sports), and Übermacht Sentinel Classic Widebody (Sports). Plus, drift fanatics can get seen on the scene with an assortment of bold new liveries only available for vehicles with Drift Tuning.



AND MORE...

Today’s update also brings increased base GTA$ payouts for many activities — including Open Wheel Races, Taxi Work, A Superyacht Life, Lowriders Missions, Operation Paper Trail, Casino Story Missions, Gerald’s Last Play, Madrazo’s Dispatch Services, Premium Deluxe Repo Work, and Project Overthrow. Solo players will also benefit from an increased timer when taking on Gunrunning and Biker Sell Missions.

Creators are also now able to construct their own Drift and Drag Races from scratch using new tools, props, and placeable Actors including drivers doing donuts, lowriders using hydraulics, animated crowds, and more. Testing Races is also easier now that creators can launch tests from any checkpoint of their choosing.

Improvements have also been made to Assault on Cayo Perico, including balancing changes. For the full list of all of today’s updates and changes to GTA Online, see the full update notes here.

STILL TO COME…

If you enjoy hunting down targets, Martin Madrazo will also need help later this summer tracking down and taking out Daily Bounties. You’ll also be able to hop on a Pegassi Pizza Boy scooter and help Pizza This... deliver piping hot pies around Los Santos.

And look forward to more explosive gameplay and events, including Independence Day, a Halloween trip to North Yankton’s Ludendorff Cemetery, an exciting new multi-stage head-to-head mode, a new community Heist Challenge, and more. Stay tuned to the Newswire in the weeks ahead for more information on what’s in store for GTA Online all throughout the summer and beyond.
