Weekly Event (16th Jan 2025) - Earn Rewards for Completing the Priority FIB File, Franklin Returns with Bonuses on Payphone Hits, Overtime Rumble Returns, & More!


Recommended Posts

Spider-Vice

This week and until 22nd January, Jodi Marshall continues to score rewards for those engaging in the Priority FIB File, alongside a monetary bonus for completing 3 FIB Files, Franklin Clinton calls all of his Partners back for bonuses on Payphone Hits, be a master of car acrobatics and score points by landing on platforms in Overtime Rumble, and more!

 


Infiltrate Fort Zancudo in the Priority FIB File, Earn a Reward for Hijacking a Plane, Perform Payphone Jobs for Franklin Clinton for Double, Score Points in Car Acrobatics on Overtime Rumble

This week, Jodi Marshall dishes out a reward for those still wishing to meddle in the business of all of Los Santos' most (least, by now!) mysterious rich companies, private contractors and military. Infiltrate Fort Zancudo and expose what's going on under there in this week's Priority File, and show the military a little bit of their own medicine by wearing the Merryweather Hoodie you can earn for also completing the Black Box File, where you hijack a plane into crashing into the Alamo Sea.

Meanwhile, Franklin Clinton and Partner (that's you!) are arranging a payout increase that he hadn't been able to conjure up in a while: if you still want to meddle in Los Santos' personalities' business but do it like you're in old school Liberty City, head on over to a random ringing payphone and it might just be Franklin with some double cash and RP on Payphone Hits. Yes, you can also call him...

Need to decompress? Fly out to floating platforms above Los Santos and Blaine County and test your Ruiner 2000 skills by landing on the smallest yet most rewarding platforms for your team... all while you're being attacked by the other team. Nobody said this was decompressing from anger! Perform car acrobatics all over with the return of Overtime Rumble, on a bonus.

 

  • Complete the Black Box File to receive the Merryweather Hoodie within 72 hours of completion
  • 2x GTA$ and RP on Payphone Hits
  • 2x GTA$ and RP on Overtime Rumble 

 

On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, the Gun Van is still blipped for a chance to buy the El Strickler Rifle.

Miscellaneous

FIB Priority File

Every week, Jodi Marshall finds a special opportunity for those enrolled in her machinations at Lester's old Garment Factory. They pay better, and you still stop whatever CEO, mogul or military outfit from doing their thing! The current active Priority FIB file is The Brute Force File.

 

Salvage Yard Vehicles & Robberies

Each week, Jamal and Yusuf Amir find some brand-new vehicles for you to source for your Chop Shop, and for Jamal to perhaps plaster all over Snapmatic and other social media. This week, check out the following propositions:

  • The Gangbanger Robbery: Willard Eudora

  • The McTony Robbery: Benefactor Schlagen GT

  • The Podium Robbery: Pfister Growler

 

The Diamond Casino & Resort Lucky Wheel

"Oh no" - someone overhears in the Diamond's staff backstage - "are those the God damned Amirs I see again?!". Well indeed they are, as another week goes on at The Diamond with all the usual hijinks... plus some to come. Not only the Diamond vault continues to be persistently robbed out of its cash, artwork and gold, and folks continue spending all of their life savings in the high roller games and Inside Track, but this week the ante is upped with the Podium being targeted once again for the remaining stock of Growlers from two weeks ago!

Speaking of the Podium, robberies do not stop the Lucky Wheel, and neither should any feelings of bad luck you may be having this Winter! Head on over to the big blue Wheel surrounded by diamonds in the casino floor and perform any Luck rituals you can think of, spin as hard as you can and hope for a chance to win a Benefactor Stirling GT. Got the cash and the taste for speed? You can also upgrade it at the LS Car Meet this week!

 

Los Santos Car Meet Prize Ride

This week, the LS Car Meet is, well... right there where it was. A rise in clientele looking for HSW-tuned vehicles last week just made Mimi feel all the better about memberships, and even then it just feels like nothing has changed. Who cares that airplanes are falling in the Alamo Sea? It's not IN the Car Meet. Altercations in Zancudo? Just military stuff. Art being stolen from the SAGMA and recovered from some rich dude? Nothing to do with the Car Meet... you get the gist.

The Prize Ride this week however is being refreshed, and it's one that harks back to the good old days of rough, dirty and raw yet quick rallying. All you have to do is be okay at racing for a few days in a row:

  • Place Top 3 in the LS Car Meet Series for 4 days in a row to win the Vapid Flash GT.

 

For testing and/or buying this week:

  • Pfister Comet (also 50% off) (R)

  • Vapid Blade (also 50% off) (R)

  • Dinka Akuma (R)

 

Hao's Special Works Premium Test Ride (PlayStation 5/Xbox Series):

  • Benefactor Stirling GT

 

Premium Deluxe Motorsport

  • Pegassi Esskey (R)
  • Vapid Hustler (also 50% off) (R)
  • Western Wolfsbane (R)
  • Gallivanter Baller LE (also 50% off)
  • LCC Hexer (R)

Another L week, RIP. 

I guess I can home in on the Payphone Hits and Overtime Rumble ( @Arrows to Athens ). FIB Missions, ugh ... I'm BORED but I'll do the 3 for the 100k.

Terrible week, where's my cop outfits?

Can't set myself up to complete 50 FIB files for career progress but these events motivate a bit (especially GTA+ bonus).

Completely irrelevant week for me, lol. I'm not gonna be a negative nelly tho, maybe it hits the spot for someone else. I'll just keep on doing my stuff I guess 🤷‍♀️ 

Shiloh Comes

It feels like a long time since agencies were discounted. And we've had 2 shots at a Kalahari with a roof and none without. And the Growler on the wheel again this week, and after a week off too. Is there a tear somewhere in the space-time continuum? Everything's gone wonky.

30% off the Omnis e-GT.  That will do as the full price of it is just under $1.8 which is shocking.

I really wonder if they are gonna give us air freight cargo bonuses when the guzman hangar business or w/e that is, goes live. I have filled my hangar with narcotics and now I want to cash out.

Prepare your support tickets because the Merryweather Hoodie will be a "Within 72 hours" reward.

Would this be the same thing with the police outfits? Any bit of info would be nice to know in advance :sadkek:

No idea. It's up to Rockstar. The Merryweather Hoodie can be released as a log-in unlock, but they are releasing it this way.

Well... at least it's not Shootout.

 

I've heard Assault on ATT-16 doesn't count as an Adversary Mode... if true and Past-Me for some reason was possessed to play Overtime Rumble since Mercenaries, I'm gonna EWO IRL. It would serve as my 25th Adversary Mode, and about 12 more victories gets my 25th Tier 4. That way Agents of Sabotage Tier 4, could easily be bumped off for whatever Awards that the Oscar Guzman Flies Again strand has --- unless I not up to scratch on the datamining?

 

Still waiting for the Entity XF.

It has been fixed with the Agents of Sabotage update. R* is yet to bring back Assault on ATT-16 since the update dropped.

Then I've got 1 mode unaccounted for on my checklist.

Indeed, I missed that entirely in the event week brief and I'll edit OP with that info.

Could be better, but I'll take a hoodie unlock and $100k for doing something I'd be doing anyway.

 

Overtime Rumble is one of the very few AM's I can stomach putting myself through, and I'll pick up a Hustler or two while I'm at it.

Same. I'll be "grinding" the FIB files anyway, since they pay quite well for the low effort needed to do them. 

on another note: welcome back and good to see you again 🙂

I organically completed 30 of them, so I had 20 to go when I decided to attempt. It sure felt like a grind, but was worth it for the free pick up.

@Spider-Vice I have a doubt that The GTA Series said complete the Black box file to receive and in your post changed as the priority file, which one is the right answer

I also goofed up there, thanks.

 

The Priority File is the Brute Force File. The File that gives you the Merryweather reward is the Black Box File. ADHD moment made me completely fumble Black Box and Brute Force, thanks.
