What Is New This Week For GTA Online

Posted by Doug Dobbins at 6:40 pm on March 13, 2018

Rockstar has rolled out a new update for GTA Online in Grand Theft Auto V. Unlike most recent updates, this week doesn’t see the arrival of a new car, but players can earn a variety of bonuses–not to mention pick up some weaponized vehicles at a nice discount–in the online mode for a limited time.

From now until March 19, players can earn double GTA$ and RP by playing Occupy, the game’s vehicular version of capture the flag. The object of Occupy is to seize specified capture zones, with your score increasing faster the more zones under your team’s control. Players will also earn double GTA$ and RP in different Bunker Adversary Modes, including Slasher, Juggernaut, and Till Death Do Us Part.

In addition to those bonuses, players will find discounts on an assortment of items in GTA Online this week. In particular, Facilities, aircraft, super cars, weaponized vehicles, and more can be had at a nice discount, giving you a chance to bulk up your fleet. You can find the full list of in-game deals below and on Rockstar’s website.

This week’s Premium Race is Afterburner, which is locked to bikes. As usual, everyone who participates in the race will earn triple RP, while players who finish within the top three will be handsomely rewarded with GTA$. The Time Trial this week is Raton Canyon. Those who manage to beat the target time will take home a nice GTA$ and RP bonus.
