The New Emperor Vectre (August 12th)

[IceDree]

 

The New Emperor Vectre

Plus Take Down The Lost MC in a New Robbery Contract, and More

Too extra for the classics? More over-the-top than underground? Forget trying to find that scrapyard bucket and make the only first impression that counts in the Emperor Vectre.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like a supermodel with a mean 100m sprint, the Vectre is a spectacle in every sense of the word.

 

Now available from Legendary Motorsport.

 

 

New Robbery: The Lost Contract

The Lost MC is sitting on a goldmine, and you’re entitled to your share. Take them down a couple of pegs by targeting their bustling methamphetamine empire for a sizable score. Gather some intel, steal a truck to haul your payload, and blow the whole operation to smithereens. Visit the Job Board in your Auto Shop to get cracking.

 

 

Last Chance: Car Meet Membership Bonuses

This week is your final chance to get the LS Customs Varsity Jacket for simply showing up to the LS Car Meet, while all LS Car Meet Members who reach Reputation Level 20 by August 18 will get a bonus to the tune of GTA$250K.

 

 

2X GTA$ and RP on Pursuit Series

 

LS Car Meet Members with a knack for crafting slick escape routes will earn Double Rewards for outmaneuvering their fellow drivers and the LSPD as part of the Pursuit Series this week.

2X GTA$ and RP on Siege Mentality

 

Siege Mentality places a small team of defenders armed to the teeth against a determined group of attackers attempting to breach the holdout. Whatever side you’re on, both teams earn 2X GTA$ and RP for playing Siege Mentality this week.

 

 

Car Meet Prize Ride and Challenge

Car Meet Members who win 3 Sprints for 4 days in a row this week can drive away behind the wheel of the Karin Futo GTX. Swing by the Slamtruck at the meet to check out what you’re competing for and scope out the competition. Issue a Sprint challenge from the Interaction Menu while inside the LS Car Meet.

 

 

Test Out New and Unreleased Cars on the Test Track

Want to see how a new steering wheel feels in your hands? Why not give the unreleased Pfister Growler a trial run on the LS Car Meet’s Test Track, or put some dents in an Emperor Vectre before buying your own? The Dinka Jester RR is also available to try, free of charge. Just head over to the Test Rides in the LS Car Meet.

 

 

This Week on the Podium: Lampadati Michelli GT

Make sure to make a pit stop at The Diamond Casino & Resort and give the Lucky Wheel its daily spin to walk away with GTA$, RP, clothing, snacks, and mystery prizes. This week’s top prize on the podium is the Lampadati Michelli GT, an Italian import with a whole bunch of angry horses shoved under the hood. Andiamo.

Cool car, and looking forward to the Lost contract. 2x on races I'll do anyway is never a bad things either.

 

Cheers @IceDree.

[Spider-Vice]

Man, those interior and exterior shots are great. They should do that for all future cars that have unique interiors tbh. Thanks for posting today @IceDree  

[HamwithCheese]

I like how in the promotional shot, those Lost Guards watched this dude roll-up in a loud green car, get out and get behind it and watch him look at them.

[Rev. Gnash]

 

Yeah buddy.

 

We salute you @IceDree

New contract looks fun, more money for pursuits is all good (I really do like pursuits in general), and best of all: no smegging 'jump through some hoops to get a t-shirt, wait 72 hours after some date next week, and still don't get it' nonsense unlock this week!!! 

 

On the other hand, good luck trying to find the players to join 12 sprint races, let alone win them - I suppose you can find a friend to trade wins (it's like 2013 all over again! ), but godspeed if you're trying to do it with randoms... As everyone's pointed out already, might as well run Cayo Perico once in arguably less time, and just buy the damned Futo, and save yourself the headache.

[Taterman]

Thanks IceDree. And I agree with Commander S about the Sprint races. Win 12?!?!? No thanks.

[Gorn Lord]

It's funny you guys think the game will actually record your sprint race wins and it will only take 12. That first prize car took me 5 or 6 days of winning because it reset the counter.

[Standard Deluxe 59]

Double the rep R* not the useless RP! Aside from that, the Vectre looks quite nice, winning 3 sprint races for 4 days straight on the other hand... that's a pass for me. 

[Jenkiiii]

Thanks for the posts and feedback everyone.

 

I like Pursuit Races now that I know the routes and am in with a winning chance, so 2X is welcome on these.

Also, the Vectre looks worth a punt if you can spare a couple of million and it's not often we get a new Emperor car in GT online either.

And a new Contact Mission and 2X payout on Siege Mentality for those of us who need a killing fix (I definitely do).

lol I'll just do a Cayo Perico run this week instead

I thought the same thing, much quicker to do like 1 or 2 Pericos to pay for the car and upgrades.

[suicidal_banana]

I really hope the "Pfister Growler" is better than the "Pfister Comet S2", handling wise that thing was a bit of a let down (i dont want a drift Porsche, what even?!.. i want one for racing!)

 

Also, apparently not a popular opinion, but i do want some random shirt or something. I like getting those items even if i hardly ever wear them, its 'another thing to collect', so gimme some, especially considering how they f-ed up last time in my favor (i got that 'frontier' outfit somehow) & that might happen again 

 

Thx for the post @IceDree ! 

[Black-Dragon96]

So yet another mission that dangles the Lost Lost MC Slamvan in front of our eyes but the only way to get one is a .00000002% to win it o  the wheel and glitching.

Ffs R* just let us buy the bloody thing already.

[Halal Cyborg]

Can’t wait to pfister growler

[Jason Frost]

No new login unlock or event bonus this week? I wonder why... lol

Can you not store it if you have someone babysit it while you take the documents back?

 

Also, quick observation for the Lost Contract... Did we just hand the entire Meth production and distribution empire of Los Santos and Blaine County to someone else with a smile on our faces for a hundred and eighty grand?

Yeah I don't get why they don't make some insanely high price like the Firetruck.

[IceDree]

Bought the Vectre last night. Cool car, terrible mods. Beats having it the other way around.

 

Having the Growler lined up for next week's release was a nice surprise, ruined my plans though, I have to delay the RT3K yet another week & At this point might as well wait for the eventual Week6 discounts ... Sigh.

 

Boo, R* for extending last week's discounts, Booooooooooo!

It supposedly handles better & the acceleration is almost identical, but GTA YouTubers being GTA YouTubers, we better see for ourselves next week.

Nope the vehicle gets locked imidiatly as soon as you enter the corona at the location or the building.

They are really trying to keep us away from it for some stupid reason.

I'd easily pay 5 Million or more for it. And I know quite a few people who would aswell.

Don't forget the roughly 10,000 gallons of gas!

 

I like the Vectre, even if it reminds me of a Vauxhall. The full roll cage seems to offer some protection from NPC fire too. But do all the modern tuner cars have the same wheels? It has strong C63 coupe energy too.

I think that tanker was full of packaged Meth. That's how they transport it but still, we just handed millions worth of Meth to some guy with a smile on our faces despite us having our own Meth production and supply chain.

[Gridl0k]

The only thing Mini Madrazo saw in his teenage years was us showing up at Dad's house with documents, then we hand him photos of his mum and trevor's taint, then he hires some new friends to beat up a black man and guess what

Pretty sure that guy was Moodymanns "associate" and he was getting and selling the Recipe to Mini Madrazo.

This, so much.

 

I can't believe the amount of grinding it's taking to just get a leather jacket in a colour I like.

I managed to get to REP level 100 through a combination of grind and AFK, mostly for completionist purposes and for the platinum award, but since then have ground to a halt, maybe only ranking up 1 or 2 levels in a week. The grind is dispiriting and feels very inorganic and just isn't worth it, and there is no way I am sub-grinding within an already very grindy game for unrewarding items of clothing and liveries.

 

Funny enough, there was a guy in my race lobby last week wearing that Rep level 1,000 racing outfit  - a ghastly combo of gawdy  colours and pink - who looked like a complete tit .
