Get 2X LS Car Meet Reputation on all LS Car Meet Races (31st March)

[Spider-Vice]

Plus, Offload Contraband with Bonuses on Special Cargo and Bunker Sell Missions, and More

 

Discounts, info about GTA V current-gen physical and more on the Rockstar Newswire

[Shadowfennekin]

I'm glad they're still giving things out to the true GTA fans(Those without +)

[Hazzardtohimself]

I'm tempted to log in this week and do some special cargo... but the reports on BaIIstorture being gone vary from source to source.

Good to see the Prime Gaming bonus of 100k a week is still a thing.

They likely have some deal with Amazon, that's not going anywhere until it expires.

How's the same old Newswire stuff, without any nerfs, etc. damage control?  Nothing changed, as predicted. Regular ol' bonus week.

So, where's the part that explains how much more of everything GTA+ members get? Are we supposed to pretend that GTA+ isn't happening in the background? We know that GTA+ members will get 4X LS Car Meet Reputation - good for them - but where's the part about the HSW upgrade to the Deveste Eight?

 

Synonyms for to pretend something is not happening or is not the case:

• sweep aside
• gloss over
• wink at
• ignore
• connive
• turn a blind eye (to something)
• look the other way
• overlook

In the GTA+ website where they said GTA+ benefits would be listed each month, the Newswires for the normal event weeks will most likely keep being focused on the regular non-GTA+ stuff. The Deveste Eight's upgrades will be made available next week for everyone (so 7-9 days), not this week.

Until April 7: Exclusive access to claim a free Hao’s Special Works upgrade for the Principe Deveste Eight.

Another contact week.  Could there ever be too many?  That Jester gives me the green light on that bank job.  Who won't be smokin', wondering why these people always follow me in here?

 

 

It'll be nice to do some 18 wheelin' this week.  Those Lamar missions are the closest I'll ever get to a Truckin' update.

I didn't even know there was a separate section on the Rockstar website for GTA+. Thanks for pointing this out.

 

I find it reassuring that GTA online comes first, to the left of GTA+, and in that it includes Title Updates (DLCs) and other integral and important parts of the game. I hope that GTA+ purely remains as a way of boosting your in-game earnings and rep and for getting aesthetics, not as an essential component to GTA online. As long as it remains optional I am going to have less of a problem with it.

what is that? i have never heard of it? is it some kind of glitch?

[Standard Deluxe 59]

Free Itali GTO is good, so is double car meet rep. Too bad my GTA disc doesn't work anymore. 

[diperro]

Excuse me for my ignorance, but how do you win those LS Car meet races to get the prize ride? How many people do you need for the race to start? Can I host it and trade wins with a friend?

 

I feel like I've been missing out on a lot of free cars because of my ignorance regarding the prize ride mechanics lol

So why is there still no range of Compact class vehicles for Hao's Special Works?

[Exsanguination]

Not bad, I’ve been tuner racing a good bit anyways, that prize ride is mine

The prize ride stuff (as in, the actual challenge you need to complete) changes each week, so keep an eye on newswire or check what the current weeks challenge is in game by going into the LSCM building and then opening the interaction menu, then LSCM submenu, then the prize ride section, it will tell you what you need to do there (for that weeks challenge) as well.

You need at least 1 opponent (that's there until the end of the race) for a race to count, so yea, getting a friend involved and trading wins is a great way to get free cars from LSCM on any week. Considering this week its 5 times top 3, you can just do 5 races with a mate (with at most one other random player involved) and after those 5 races you both get the car regardless of how you did.

If you keep going for the LSCM prize ride challenges (and you should) just make sure to always read the challenge details, as it varies between 1st/top3/top5, a different number of times, and different race types (either the basic street race, or pursuit) but sometimes (on the more annoying challenges) you need to win across multiple days in the week to get the vehicle.

Thanks S-V. Looks like a good week. Time to get on the crates.

Hao-enabled Brioso R/A will probably be temptingly-dangled for the Pluses towards the end of next month, and might be available for regulars the week after that.

Thank you for your useful response. It's crystal clear for me now. Looks like I've been definitely missing on the prize rides!  Not anymore tho thanks to your post

I took that inside the LS Meet yesterday, No extras available

[Lonely-Martin]

*spins the casino wheel

 

*gets a mystery prize, a large diamond

 

Handy!

 

I know its early days still, but good to see the weekly stuff is no different for non + folk. Hopefully that stays.

 

But anyway, 2x contact missions and survivals is most welcome anytime.

 

Cheers @Spider-Vice

I honestly think there won't be any nerfs to the non + people but rather buffs to certain bits and bobs for + people as described in the GTA+ page, GTA$ and RP "accelerators" they seem to be called. Don't wanna eat my words of course but I have a feeling we'll be okay (I'm not a sub either and not like I could as I'm on PC).

[Hécate-II]

Single crate sale 10k RP this week. Pretty mad actually, I don't have the patience to do more than three sales in a row, but thats quite good for RP solely. 

 

 

Survival 95k/8k RP/4 players non-crew non-friends. Little more with crew/friends. Sad its not 3x survivals though, 2x feels weak
