DOUBLE GTA$ & RP PAYOUTS IN GTA ONLINE: HEISTS THIS WEEK (MAY 9TH – 15TH)

 

Get doubly rewarded this week for taking down the lucrative scores from GTA Online: Heists, as all five of these multi-tiered cooperative missions will be dishing out twice as much GTA$ and RP from May 9th - 15th.

 

For those yet to tackle Heists in GTA Online, here’s a brief rundown of each one:

 

Fleeca Job - Prove your worth as a heist crew by taking down a small Fleeca Bank franchise on the Western Highway. Scope it out, get your getaway car, then take it down and get out clean.

 

Prison Break - Break a high value inmate out of Bolingbroke Penitentiary. To get him out, you'll need an inmate transport bus and a smugglers' plane. To keep him happy, you'll need to settle some debts and get him his car.

 

Humane Labs Raid - Go into a secretive research facility and come out with their data. Get hold of an EMP and get it into their grounds, get the Lab's key codes, and get yourself an attack chopper. Then half the team hits the lab and half holds off security until it's done.

 

Series A Funding - Help a smalltime dealer get the stock he needs to launch a bigtime distribution business. Raid some of the largest narco-operations in the state, take their product, and get it all together for the big sale.

 

Pacific Standard Job - Bring down the flagship branch of one of the biggest banks in the country. Find a transponder and tune it to the right signal to disable Pacific Standard dye packs, get hacking equipment, getaway bikes and thermal charges, then go in hard and come out with their holdings.

 

While being in a Crew isn't a necessity for Heists, communication and coordination are key to maximize pulling off a successful Heist with your jewels intact. So round up your best Crewmates and put that planning board in your luxury apartment to good use. If you're looking to squad up with some like-minded entrepreneurs, check out some recently featured Crews recruiting here on the Newswire or head over to Social Club to scout out potential partners-in-crime.

 

And please note that while the payouts for special bonuses like the All In Order Challenge and Criminal Mastermind Challenge are still active, Double GTA$ and RP do not apply to them.

 

ADDITIONAL ONGOING BONUSES IN GTA ONLINE

 

Don't forget to take full advantage of all the other discounts and bonuses currently active in GTA Online, from Double GTA$ & RP on Biker Contract Missions to bonus payouts on Special Cargo Deliveries, 25% off select Vehicles and more. Get the full rundown at the Social Club Events Page.

 

PREMIUM SPECIAL VEHICLE RACE & TIME TRIAL SCHEDULE (5/9 - 5/15)

 

This week's Premium Special Vehicle Race is "Beach Party" - locked to the Blazer Aqua. Launch Premium Races through the Quick Job App on your in-game phone or via the yellow corona at Legion Square for a shot at big GTA$ payouts awarded to the top three finishers, and get Triple RP just for participating.

"Raton Canyon" is this week's Time Trial. Set a Waypoint to the marker on your map and enter via the purple corona. Beat par time to earn a sizable GTA$ & RP reward.

100x better than weeks of double $ and RP on Tiny Racers. The events have all been fairly good recently, minus the AMs. Contact missions, biker contracts and now heists. Wonderful.

[dino722]

When does this start??

[TheTruestDetective]

Hopefully is not a mistake. Remember last year we were getting double for heists too then R* fixed it.

[REXX]

Was hoping for x2 on VIP

[Gridl0k]

When does this start??

 

About half an hour ago

[normanself]

Typical.

 

Day off, 2x$ heists and I've got a hospital appointment.... Goddamn.

 

Hope it's a week long thing.

[EkaSwede]

Was hoping for x2 on VIP

Same. I'm sure more moeny could be made from that, too seeing how you won't have to put up with loading times and limited lives.

 

Buuuut, it's something. Unfortunately I have a hard time rounding up a couple of buddies at the same time so I guess I'm stuck with Fleeca.

[jollythecat]

[Quinn_flower]

[Gridl0k]

FWIW you can join/start heists from IO lobbies, and will be put back into one.

There's a mod menu going on still and not every player has friends so they will use quick join hense they will fk up the players. You don't know what your getting when you use quick join or invite all.

True, but you still run the risk of encountering cheaters in Heists if you don't have 3 other players readily available since menus still work outside of Freeroam. Last time I can remember trying to play a Heist in the utter sh*tshow that is PC GTAO some knucklehead blew us all up just as we got to the dinghy in Pac Standard.

[SHADOW OPS]

I haven't done heists in a long time...time to dust off my heist outfit

[Snoopbr]

Pac Standard lobbies today

Should of had waited till things are ok on pc. Watch the support tickets saying script kid ruined my account

Check the players in the lobby, if any of them are over level 100 but don't own a boat, bail

 

While we're here, reminded by shadowop, in case you didn't know: Wear heavy armour and a BP helmet! They matter!

[KemikalMbalinsce]

time to get the heist crew back together. this should be fun

[Opzeker]

Aren't the current bonusses untill the 15th of May?

[Dacelo]

Been playing on PC since day one and I'm feeling that gtao being fixed is just a pipe dream at this point, sadly.

GTAO has been f*cked since day one, to some extent, because it launched unfinished and it took them over a year to finalise heists. If they had been included at launch I believe we'd have got Bikers, I/E and FAFF in year one.

 

Although console limitations.. But in any event, the dev timetable has suffered.
