Ill Gotten Gains Event Weekend June 12-14

[Ai®a©ob®a]

With the bank balances of Los Santos' finest criminals now firmly in the black - it's time to grab some R&R with the Ill-Gotten Gains Event Weekend: Part One, running from this Friday, June 12th through June 14th. There's a full host of in-game bonuses to get your grubby little mitts on, as well as a Social Club Sweepstakes, livestreams and much more.

 

DOUBLE CASH ADVERSARY MODES EVENT PLAYLIST

For the gluttonous, the miserly and everyone in-between – grab even more GTA$ this weekend when playing the Adversary Modes that were released alongside GTA Online Heists. If you haven’t yet had a chance to play these three new Modes – which require mastering tactics such as mowing over cyclists in a truck, executing sawn-off shotgun drive-bys and defending against onrushing hunters out for your head – the Double Cash rewards for all who play make it a great time to start. Don't forget to brush up on our Adversary Modes Game Tips posts to max out your winnings.

 

To jump straight into Double Cash Adversary Modes, simply hit the Event button during the GTAV boot screens and you'll find yourself in a lobby with other cynical mercenaries straining under the weight of their loot. If Double $$ isn't enough of an incentive, be sure to stick around 'til the end of the Playlist and you'll be rewarded with an explosive armory completion bonus including Sticky Bombs, Molotovs, Proximity Mines and Body Armor so you can blast your way to the front of the line during your next shopping spree at Ponsonby's.

 

DOUBLE RP RACES ON LAND, SEA AND AIR

With six new vehicles to choose from you'll want to select your new ride carefully, whether it's the mighty Pegassi Osiris, the Benefactor Stirling with gull wing doors, or the sumptuous Luxor Deluxe. Take each one for a test drive with 2X RP in all Races all weekend.

 

25% DISCOUNT ON HIGH-END PROPERTIES

If your accountant is finding it difficult to get creative with the source of your new earnings, it may be time to clean that dough by treating yourself to the spoils of war. Accessorize your hefty bank balance with stylish living quarters as well as garages fit for a kingpin. With a cool 25% off High-End Apartments and Garages, now's the time to upgrade to the next level of living, or increase your garage capacity so you can squeeze in a few more cars.

 

HIGH-FREQUENCY CRATE DROPS WITH EXCLUSIVE T-SHIRTS

In the great banquet of life, hanging around the top table means there will always be bottom feeders waiting for scraps; thankfully the smugglers have got those choosy beggars covered with bounties delivered from on high throughout the weekend. Keep an eye out around the luxurious hangouts of Los Santos great and good such as the racetrack, yacht club and Richmond Hills areas for an increased frequency of Crate Drops containing GTA$10K and exclusive in-game t-shirts featuring Portola Drive's finest luxury retailers, as pictured below. The throwaway fashion industry dictates these t-shirts are only available this weekend in GTA Online, so be sure to keep your greedy eyes on the skies.

 

 

#illgottengains1 GTA$1M SNAPMATIC CONTEST

A fair few of your millions may have been earned through the blood, sweat and grease of completing a Heist, but there's also a tidy GTA$1Million going that you could claim with just a snap of your iFruit's camera. Get camera trigger-happy and enter our Snapmatic contest to add some heavy k's to your in-game wallet. As usual we're looking for the greatest photographs of you living the high life with Ill-Gotten Gains Update content, whether you're parked up rocking one of the liveries on the Winsor Enus, or decked out wearing your cash on your sleeve in the fur and finery of the new wardrobe options.

 

SOCIAL CLUB SWEEPSTAKES LIVE NOW

Luxe out your life with the Social Club Event Sweepstakes, live now on the Social Club Events Page. Enter for your chance to win a lavish set of GTAV goods, including the GTA V Chrome Zippo, Grotti Polo, Epsilon Pendant, a copy of the Welcome To Los Santos album, as well as a GTA V t-shirt and stickers.

 

EVENT WEEKEND LIVE STREAM

If the thought of all this shopping simply tuckers your out, pull up a pew and kick back with the Official Rockstar Games Event Weekend Live Stream. On June 12th at 5pm ET the Rockstar Broadcast Studio team will be joined by special guests Funhaus to play brand new Jobs from the Ill-Gotten Gains Update: Part One along with custom meta-games featuring the new content. We'll also be showcasing your best Snapmatics from the first few days of the update, and inviting viewers to join the lobbies to play alongside our guests.

Could this be a hint that we'll be able to buy a 4th apartment? Edited June 9, 2015 by Bxx88

[KoingWolf]

Should hold a doubled up Wager system. Bet up to 20K. Because we are all supposedly ballin right now, why not?

[FDNY21]

25% off high-end properties is nice but I already have all 3 slots filled with high-end properties, so unless they're adding a 4th slot, that's almost pointless to me... As for the rest, there's not much else that can interest me to be honest. Maybe I can look forward to winning a snapmatic contest or a crate or something. Knowing my luck though, probably not...

[Forager]

So, with a 25 percent discount on high-end properties, I think we can assume mansions and/or additional properties won't be added?

time to get my lag switch out

 

anyone knows if the shirts are going to be a different one each day?

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

[Soran Is On]

Or just increase from an existing smaller garage to a bigger one. I don't hold the faith for Rockstar like that.

That's goddamned crafty. I didn't understand the lagswitch need but I get it.

 

So, you wait for the "special crate inbound in 10 hours" or whatever it is message then lag it up so they drop out?

My connection is 2 mbps download, it's a lag switch itself

 

 

 

But I don't need that, just call my Hydra and stay still all the way up in the sky with a bounty so the wannabe soldiers wont try to take me down

I am on 180 mbps. I couldn't lag if I tried.

[SaltyGTAFMember]

O look 70% off of weapon prices, must be a nuke coming.

[Miss Malevolent]

This is probably the most likely explanation.

[Vik]

I'm doing the playlist and go on call for races so in the middle its crate drop hunting .

 

I have a 1 MB connection so yeah,no lag switch needed
