Grand Theft Auto V Legacy News

The stakes of our community-wide challenge series continue to climb to new, dizzying heights. In addition to the fast twitch-enhancing effects of the ongoing Sprunk & eCola challenge, the GTA Online community must now unite against the threat of total annihilation. Conquer Act III of The Doomsday Heist — The Doomsday Scenario — for a cumulative take of over GTA$100,000,000,000 by November 22. Join forces with Lester Crest, tech mogul Avon Hertz, and his neurotic, hyperintelligent AI, Cliffford, to thwart this global catastrophe and reap Double GTA$ and RP on The Doomsday Scenario Finale, as well as in all Prep Missions.

Should the community succeed in hitting the GTA$100B goal this week, all players will unlock a new livery for the legendary Pegassi Zentorno (Super, 50% off), which will be delivered as part of the upcoming winter update to GTA Online.

Also this week: seasonal blooms are appearing in backyards and the foothills of the Tataviam Mountains. Munching on psychoactive Peyote Plants will give you the kind of out-of-body experience the city’s elite often pay top dollar for.

The entire city’s juiced with excitement, bolstered by the caffeine rush of a new Community Challenge issued by the titans of the carbonated beverage industry. There’s also a surge in demand for Export Requests courtesy of Simeon Yetarian, boosted bottom lines on an assortment of modes and activities, and so much more.

SPRUNK & ECOLA CHALLENGE

After pitting drinkers of Sprunk and eCola against each other last year in a fierce battle for brand supremacy, Big Soda is now flipping the script and aiming to mobilize their combined forces to preach the health-boosting effects of these sugary, caffeine-laden concoctions.

Sprunk and eCola fanatics must now unite to guzzle a combined total of 100 million cans of Sprunk and eCola by November 29, and in doing so unlock custom Sprunk and eCola vanity license plates, the dashing new Sprunk x eCola Bodysuit, and a fierce Sprunk x eCola branded livery for the Mammoth F-160 Raiju Plane (25% off this week). If successful, the Raiju livery, the Bodysuit, and the vanity plates will be unlocked for the entire community later this year.

Grab a Sprunk or eCola from your owned properties, Simeon’s Premium Deluxe Motorsport showroom, or vending machines around Southern San Andreas to get in on the action. Consume directly from vending machines, via the Interaction Menu, or when enjoying Snacks via the Weapon Wheel and do your part!



SIMEON’S EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH CHALLENGE

Simeon Yetarian knows a good opportunity when he sees it. With so much of the local populace buzzing off Sprunk and eCola induced sugar rushes, it's the perfect time to channel that communal energy into boosting high-demand vehicles for his clientele.

Take part in Simeon’s Employee of the Month Challenge and prove your worth to the proprietor of Premium Deluxe Motorsport. If the community can collectively complete GTA$15,000,000,000 worth of Simeon Export requests by November 15, all players will receive a special livery later this year.

Check your text messages for a daily list of Export Requests from the man himself (also paying out 3X GTA$ and RP this week) and deliver these vehicles to the dockside garage at the Terminal.

While Rockstar has started up the GTA 6 hype train this week, some new comments from Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick seem to suggest the likelihood of us getting a film or TV adaptation based on the series any time soon are pretty slim.

Following Nintendo’s big announcement that a live action Legend of Zelda movie is in the works, Zelnick was asked about the prospect of franchises like GTA and Red Dead Redemption making their way into the wider entertainment sphere during Wednesday’s earnings call (thanks, VGC). Judging by his response, Rockstar and Take-Two are taking a cautious attitude towards opportunities that could bring either to the big screen or little screen.

The exec characterised the approach the latter has adopted with regards to TV or film adaptation of its properties as “very, very selective, and very careful”, even if it has greenlit Borderlands and BioShock movies.
