[Gettin up]

sh*t week. Thanks for posting newswire tho.

[Lonely-Martin]

2x on Gerald's and 50% extra on payphone hits is always welcome. But most welcome is no poxy unlocked on the business battles.

 

Bring on the E&E details though.

 

Cheers @Spider-Vice.

With any luck. Be nice to learn of the specifics or any surprises if any now we're close.

Some business isn’t safe to discuss on an iFruit. The FIB has eyes and ears everywhere, after all. That’s why Franklin prefers calling his dirtiest business in on untraceable public lines.

 

I'm sure the FIB can't track the follow-up texts Franklin sends with additional information...

[Taterman]

Thanks S-V.

Hey what do you know, another week of rewards centered around the Agency and Contracts. explains why I haven't played in months!

 

At this point it's a matter of principle! Meh, wake me up when GTA 6 is a thing.

I knew it wouldn't be 2x money on the payphone hits. That's like saying they'd do 2x money on I/E...

Some of the Newswire writing is nonsensical 

 

What does the following mean?

 

"Reap Triple Rewards going up against your fellow entrepreneurs in Business Battles of all types, including Assassinations, Vehicle Exports, Car Meets, Merryweather Drops, and more."

 

OK, so triple rewards on business battles. That makes sense. But the rest of it is just nonsense. These are not "types" of business battles. Rockstar is writing gobbledygook at this point.

[Arrows to Athens]

"Meh" week. Last Play is a pile of dehydrated horse manure.

[Standard Deluxe 59]

This week is kind of a dud, bonus on payphone hits is nice but eh. Guess I'll keep further developing my latest Cities Skylines city to kill the two and a half hours between "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "I Dream of Jeannie" reruns.

The Contract stuff has gotten repetitive for me. Only 1.5x bonus for something with a 20 minute cooldown is meh.

I also don't know which ones they mean for the Assasinations and Vehicle Exports ones, but those other two are business battles. Both of those have multiple versions.

 

-next day edit- I've also figured out the other two. Vehicle Export business battle is the one with a car in the back of a truck + Assasinations is the one where you have to take out multiple targets before two duffel bags show up with the goods.

Lazy week for me

 

Weird how they double Criminal Damage but not other Freemode events

[Sam2150AD]

Extra 50% on Payphone hits is always welcome! Easy to complete and tbh, I find them pretty fun.

[Exsanguination]

Geralds missions aren’t terrible but still don’t pay enough with 2x to make me want to grind over and over. 

[Ascendancy]

Like others have said, not exactly a great week. The additional $200,000 for doing three Payphone Hits isn't bad, and neither are those being 1.5x themselves. Still pretty bland decisions otherwise, though, at least in my view.

[egomaniac247]

Rockstar:   3x Business Battle Rewards!
 

 

Also Rockstar:  SURPRISE!  Delivery location is glitched out!

Actually a 10 minute cooldown. Don't know if it is just a bonus for this week or permanent.

My memory is hazy, I don't remember this ever having a 20 minute cooldown.

 

BTW, I like bonus on Payphone so I'll be playing a bit. Funnily, I needed last week the most since I'm still far away from 200 agency contracts, but they are so boring to me I skipped that week entirely.

The cooldown was always in fact 20 minutes. 

[Spider-Vice]

Aye, the cooldown was always 20 minutes, it seems to be 10 minutes now, maybe it's to aid with the bonus week or they're just lowering it forever which would be nice

With all the latest talk about the Next Gen GTA V/O I'd forgotten about the current event week. Has anyone received the 200k bonus for 3 Payphone Hits?

So much for payment within 72 hours, I'm already past 120 hours, so that's another bugged giveaway. Not that I need the money but I wish they'd sort these bugs out.

[No Homing]

Still no money here either, and it's been 5 days.

[Taterman]

Got the $200k tonight.
