The BF Weevil: An Automotive and Countercultural Icon

[IceDree]

 

The BF Weevil: An Automotive and Countercultural Icon
Plus Bonuses on Motor Wars, Smuggler Sell Missions, Air Races and More

The BF Weevil was once a marvel of midcentury design and economic efficiency, but like a venture capitalist shedding their two-piece suit for a set of prayer beads and tie-dye, the Weevil has since become a symbol of free love and other high-minded ideals. Whether you’re using it to move your cult up into the foothills of the Tataviam Mountains or schlepping your red-eyed pals down to a party at Vespucci Beach, the Weevil can help get you there.

 

3X GTA$ and RP in Motor Wars

Earn Triple Rewards this week as you parachute into the shrinking kill-zone of Motor Wars with nothing but a sidearm to your name. Work together with your teammates to find a vehicle and some substantial weaponry, then blow your foes away to make it out as the last team alive.

 

 

2X GTA$ and RP on Smuggler Sell Missions

It’s dangerous to let contraband sit dormant in your Warehouses, but it’s also financially irresponsible, especially when Smuggler Sell Missions are paying back 2X GTA$ & RP this week. Load up and move your stock across the map, but stay frosty, lest marauders try to intercept your delivery.

 

 

3X GTA$ & RP in Air Races

Hop behind the controls of any number of airborne vehicles and maneuver betwixt the skyscrapers of Downtown Los Santos and the peaks and valleys of Blaine County in any and all Rockstar Created Air Races, which are dishing out triple the usual prize purse through January 13th.

 

 

 

Special Bonuses

Everyone who plays GTA Online this week will receive the limited-edition Güffy Double Logo Hat, free of charge.

 

Should you manage to find and steal contraband from a Secondary Target – be it cash, gold, drugs or art – during the Cayo Perico Heist finale, you will receive the bright and brash Bigness Faces Sweater as an added bonus on top of the boost to your bottom line.

 

This is also the final week to get in and collect:

- The Manor Tie-dye Tee for completing a Cayo Perico Scoping Mission
- The Rockstar Grey Pattern Tee for completing a Cayo Perico Prep Mission
- The Panther Tour Jacket for completing the Cayo Perico Heist Finale
- The Panther Varsity Jacket – awarded as a badge of honor to those who participated in the November Heist Challenge

 

 

On the Podium This Week: The Enus Paragon R

As soon as you get back to the mainland and wash the sand out of your hair, swing by The Diamond Casino & Resort and give the Lucky Wheel a spin for the opportunity to walk away with GTA$, RP, clothing and a range of mystery items. This week’s top prize is the Enus Paragon R, a suave sportscar that embodies the refinement of an elder statesman with the muscle of a young warlord.

Cool, cheers @IceDree.

 

[Raylan Givens]

I actually don’t hate Motor Wars. Might do a few in-between Cayo heists/setups.

[The Fixer]

The dripfeed is strong with this update, not even Brioso is on sale...

[Standard Deluxe 59]

Really, motor wars? Why is it that rarely anything fun goes on promotion. 

It couldn't be vehicle vendetta, or stockpile or air quota right? I guess at least the beetle was released.

A Beetle, at last. One of the most iconic motor car shapes ever. Only took them seven years.

[ForDer089]

RO-86 Alkonost & Annihilator Stealth are on sale already? Gee, even they know how crappy those are.

Sigh. I never got this. It's not a big deal but still annoying.

[IceDree]

Bought the Alkonost & Annihilator Stealth, I was planning on buying 2 helicopters, but I couldn't get the second configuration to my liking, why did they have to double sign it? Grrr.

Cheers, mate.

So just a quick question but I take it the Paragon R featured is the normal version of the car, I got confused by the podium vehicle leak list and thought we were getting the armoured version but I presume @IceDree that;s still

locked as a reward for completing the casino missions? 

[LL Cool L]

when will they add some sports to this game? surfing, skateboarding, shooting some hoops, bowling, pool etc

 

seeing the surfboard on top just reminds of some things that would have been really cool to have

According to the 'Wire, the civilian one is the one currently on the podium, I haven't verified in-game as I don't visit the casino. The armored Paragon is on the list as well, but it might be just a place holder, anything is possible with R*.

 

Correct, the only legit way to optain the armored one at the moment is by the completing the casio story missions as a host.

Thanks! Hopefully it is both! Time to grind the wheel for my accounts!

The problem with Motor Wars that I usually have:

 

Either I'm on the only team that knows how to parachute and it's an easy win

 

OR

 

I'm the only one on my team who knows how to parachute and it's an inevitable loss in a 1 v 5 with weaponized vehicles situation.

True. Some matches can be pretty lopsided. Did one last night with a nearly full lobby...two teams... pretty well matched with the mix of ranks. Wins went back and forth. That was a good one.

More like your team: You, level 5, level 5, level 5

 

Other teams: 200, 300, 100, 5; 450, 200, 100, 15; 400, 600, 500, 9

This is why I don't waste my time on Crapversary modes, I ALWAYS get stuck with a full team of low levels while the other team is full of 100+'s

I remember when they announced the Beach Bum update, wondering if surfing might be included. I had high hopes of driving the BF Surfer to the beach and catching a few waves in sweet board shorts.

 

Imagine my disappointment at the actual update. At least I did get some board shorts.

 

I know the militarized content drives people to play and to spend, and the mission-styled content (including heists and businesses) is needed to keep the game fresh. Still, can't help but feel like they missed a trick by never adding anything recreational to do. The casual goof-off aspect of GTA is a huge part of the charm for me, and I suspect for a lot of people. Just maybe not for the "1v1 at beach" idiots.

maybe pointless to some but just the lil things, camping, sitting/ laying by the beach, surfing, triathlons, pets, bowling, snooer/pool, dominoes, cards, fight clubs, wing-suit gliding, lowrider comps, destruction derby, indoor arena motosports etc along them linesss

I love how they build these team games. Hate how apparently 1 in a thousand players actually get it.  So sick of being run over or crushed by a rolled over half-track because everyone drives like an idiot.   And then you have the hiders on top of buildings ....... Putting the S.H.I.T in 'TEAM'

[Cutter De Blanc]

Is it really counterculture when theyve appropriated it like this and give one away for free?
