This week’s GTA Online update brings a mix of exciting opportunities and subtle surprises that have left the community buzzing. Rockstar has delivered generous rewards and tempting discounts, but not without a playful twist that has some players feeling slightly trolled.

Triple Rewards on Special Vehicle Work
The biggest surprise in this update is the triple GTA$ and RP payout on Special Vehicle Work missions. These are available through CEO offices and usually take a backseat to more popular activities like crate and vehicle cargo sales. By putting the spotlight on these lesser-played missions, Rockstar seems to be nudging players to try something new. While they’re still profitable, many expected the more familiar double money on crates — making this change feel like a cheeky move by Rockstar.

Tempting Discounts Across the Board
There’s no shortage of discounts this week. CEO offices and cargo warehouses, along with their upgrades and modifications, are all 30% off. This makes it an ideal time for newer players to invest in the executive lifestyle or for veterans to upgrade their existing properties.

Vehicle enthusiasts will also find some great deals, including a massive 60% off the Nimbus flying vehicle. Luxury aircraft like the Gold Swift Deluxe and Luxor Deluxe have also received significant price cuts. On the weapons front, the Gun Van is offering 50% off the Military Rifle along with discounts on other gear — perfect for gearing up before heading out on missions.

A Missed Opportunity for Crate Warehouse Fans?
Perhaps the most talked-about part of this week’s update is what’s missing: double money on crate warehouses. With the properties themselves discounted, many players expected the usual bonus on sales to go with it. Instead, Rockstar gave double GTA$ on export mixed goods missions — useful, but not quite what the community was hoping for. For now, fans are holding out hope that the traditional crate bonuses will make a return next week.

Extra Bonuses and Weekly Highlights
There are still other ways to earn extra cash. Random Transform Races are back with double money and RP, offering a fun break from the grind. This week’s priority file is Project Breakaway, and players can earn additional GTA$ by purchasing Buckingham aircraft or selling business stock.

However, not everything is up for grabs. Notably, there’s no claimable vehicle available in the salvage yard this week, adding to the sense that Rockstar might be saving the biggest rewards for later.

Rockstar Keeps Players Guessing
Overall, this update feels like Rockstar is playing a game of cat and mouse with its community — giving players great rewards but also holding back just enough to keep them engaged. By spotlighting missions that usually go unnoticed and teasing the possibility of better bonuses to come, Rockstar ensures the weekly grind never gets too predictable.

For players, it’s a week to take advantage of strong discounts, explore less familiar missions, and stay tuned for what’s next. Whether you see it as clever content pacing or mild trolling, one thing’s clear: GTA Online remains as unpredictable and dynamic as ever.
