'Grand Theft Auto Online' Adds Heist Month Rewards, Double/Triple GTA$, Bonuses, Test Rides, Free Tee and Livery And More

Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.

When a young street hustler, a retired bank robber and a terrifying psychopath find themselves entangled with some of the most frightening and deranged elements of the criminal underworld, the U.S. government and the entertainment industry, they must pull off a series of dangerous heists to survive in a ruthless city in which they can trust nobody, least of all each other.

Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover.

Grand Theft Auto V also comes with Grand Theft Auto Online, the dynamic and ever-evolving online universe for up to 30 players, and includes all existing gameplay upgrades and content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Rise through the ranks to become a CEO of your own criminal empire by trading contraband or form a Motorcycle Club and rule the streets. Pull off daring co-operative Heists, enter adrenaline-fueled Stunt Races, compete in unique Adversary Modes or create your own content to play and share with the entire GTA community.

Save Los Santos from Certain Annihilation in The Doomsday Scenario for Double Rewards

Heist Month continues apace this week, as GTA Online players go to outrageous depths and heights to prevent Avon Hertz from causing a case of mutually assured destruction.

Save Los Santos from certain annihilation at the hands of the eccentric billionaire by completing The Doomsday Scenario Finale and you’ll earn 2X GTA$ and RP in return, all this week.

You’ll have to go from the depths of the ocean to flying high over the mountains using a Thruster to stop the extremely high net worth madman.

If the prospect of thwarting the uber-rich isn’t enough motivation for you: completing all three Doomsday Heist Finales will earn you an additional GTA$500K, deposited to your Maze Bank account by November 21. Completing any of the three will also net you the Atomic Motorsport Livery for the Sultan RS Classic, delivered within 72 hours of login after November 22.

Get the Wasted! Tee and Banshee Racing Livery

As part of our ongoing celebrations of the 20th anniversary of Grand Theft Auto III and today’s release of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition , all GTA Online players will receive the Wasted! Tee this week. The tee is sure to stir up all sorts of formative gaming memories, so don’t be surprised if people point and laugh. They’re laughing with you, after all.

In addition to the nostalgic tee, all GTA Online players will receive the Banshee Racing Livery for the storied Bravado sports car that has appeared in every Grand Theft Auto title dating back to GTAIII. Combine the two to let everyone you flip off on the highway know that you’ve been down since Day One.

Deluxo Special Vehicle Races Returning to GTA Online

All vehicles are special, but some are certainly more special than others — the Imponte Deluxo is an example of the latter. It wouldn’t be fair to pit a landlocked import against a levitating sports-car, no matter how much time and money you’ve poured into customizations and mods.

Deluxo Special Vehicle Races solve this equation with tracks built to test specific abilities and strengths. To celebrate Deluxo Special Vehicle Races returning to GTA Online this week, racers competing will earn Triple Rewards.

2X GTA$ and RP on Special Vehicle Work

Visit your Office once you’ve got your business empire humming by completing Vehicle Cargo Missions and use the SecuroServ computer to launch into Special Vehicle Work (ideally with a couple likeminded Associates in tow).

Successful completion pays 2X GTA$ and RP for the next seven days, while unlocking a discounted rate on relevant vehicles at Warstock Cache & Carry.

Bunker Research Speed Doubled

Once your underground lair is all set up, you’ll need to get your Bunker staff cracking on Research to unlock the latest and greatest in military design, weapons equipment, and adornments for said upgrades. Luckily, all Bunker Research speeds are doubled through November 17 — maybe it’s something in their coffee, or maybe it’s the mounting pressure coming down on them from corporate. Who’s to say, really?

This Week’s Car Meet Prize Ride: The Karin Sultan RS Classic

Join in the fun with your fellow speed freaks and LS Car Meet members by placing in the Top 5 of 12 Street Race Series over the course of the next seven days to earn the keys to this week’s Prize Ride: the Karin Sultan RS Classic, a sensible sedan that moonlights as a customizer’s pipe-dream.

This Week on the Test Track: Dinka RT3000, Vulcar Warrener HKR, and Annis Remus

If you’re in the market for a new set of wheels, why not stop by the LS Car Meet’s Test Track to give the Dinka RT3000, Vulcar Warrener HKR, and Annis Remus a cursory spin. In addition to scoping out the vehicles’ specs, you can also challenge friends and foes alike to a Scramble, race against the clock in a Time Trial, or kick up some smoke while you tear up the painted track on your own.

This Week on the Lucky Wheel Podium: The Pfister Neon

Stop by The Diamond Casino & Resort, grab a drink at the bar, and step up to the Lucky Wheel to win GTA$, RP, clothes, and all manner of mystery prizes. This week on the podium is the battery-powered Pfister Neon, a whisper-quiet electric sports car that answers all your questions about the future with a suggestively raised eyebrow. Behold.
