Meh, trash week...  At least it's still 2x $ and RP for VIP Work.

I'm happy I only had to wait 2 weeks this time for the one vehicle I was excited for in this DLC. 

[The Gator]

Should we be expecting double $ and RP for crate sales next week?

[Mayacohenloveseveryone]

I complete all new race solo to get discount  

 

Theyre quite fun but tight and I think you need certain type car to win…maybe Broughy will make video

I don't think we will see any bonuses on businesses until the one time promotion is over, my guess is the promotion will last a month, then perhaps we might see the usual bonuses return.

[mjace72]

I like to check the week here to see what I missed in the first session but as the weeks go by I realize it doesn't matter what the week is anymore.  Making 5 million in under 3 hours without knowing what is 2x or not is different.

 

 

The 2x Nightclub was a 1 shot deal but I made sure to wait it out and fill it.  The full cash counterfeit at 490k put me over 4 mil in the first 1/2 hour.   Sure the Kao pectate races might be fun to try but as long as Rockstar is going to treat me like I'm in another dimension during missions and races I'm going to stick with freeroam and the payphone hits, mixed goods, ammunation contracts, security contracts, autoshop contracts, fortifieds, ploweds, sightseers, and all those other things that keep the goods and safes adding up properly while I make the money I have nothing to spend it on.  It sure is fun though, whatever the event week is.

That would be too generous for Rockstar.

Rockstar really lazy. How they introduced new Cayo Perico races?

No intro video. No cutscene. No announcement. No SMS. No email. No call from a friend. No themed discounts for all-terrain vehicles. Nothing!  

Could you come up with some kind of story, some kind ofintrigue? Not? Is it too difficult? Am I expecting too much? I found out about the new series by accident, from the talking of other players in the chat. Is it ok?

The Draugur is really creepy good, offroad and on the street, damn this thing handles well, and has extremely good performance.

 

It might look ugly well IMO at least, but it's totally worth it perfomance wise.

Ok, and when have Rockstar released a full-on intro video, cutscene, SMS, email or call from a friend for new maps or adversary modes? Other than the texts you get from e.g. Martin for Open Wheel Races or Dispatch contact missions, I can't remember anywhere in recent history where any character has texted you about new maps or modes releasing.

 

Much less a video or cutscene for that, that's usually reserved for actual DLC releases (e.g. Diamond Casino).

[Mexicola9302]

What i think is weird, that the game doesn't even tell you how to get the Trade Price, for the Draugur. If you try to click on buying it for Trade Price, it doesn't tell you at all that you need to finish 10 Cayo Perico races, there is no notification or anything about it. 

 

If i wouldn't have visited the forums, i would had no idea how to get the Trade Price.

 

They could at least put a small text box there, if trying to buy it, but nope nothing.  It was like that for me on PC, no idea if it's the same on consoles or not.

[Lemoyne outlaw]

thats nice that they are using cayo perico. maybe they could add a north yankton series. also add some deathmatches to cayo and north yankton. they need to add stuff to these locations. the main gta 5 map is so stale and boring.

What's special about the Declasse Tornado convertible?

They probably just forgot to add how to obtain the trade price. I mean, it's Rockstar.

It says right there, the cast iron silver color it’s painted. It’s a unique color you can’t get on that car, or anywhere else I think?

Is it the fact that it's convertible? Or was there already the option to buy a convertible Tornado?

I can’t check right this second but I’m almost positive that you’ve been able to buy it either from bennys or SS for some years now. If I’m wrong let me know.

Yeah most likely an oversight. Apparently there's a new notification that tells you get a free clothing item when you buy it this week which pops up in the same spot where trade price description used to go . So Rockstar being Rockstar either didn't realize that it replaced the notif or broke something while adding that.

Is there a picture of the hat anywhere? I didn’t see it on the newswire. I don’t want to have to buy a whole car just to get a hat I may or may not want.

It's definitely not worth it if you weren't planning on getting the car anyway.

Looks like i am booking a flight to Cayo Perico on Friday..... All weekend racing fun.

It's silly. What was worth adding, let's say a phone call from Ron: "Hey, listen, there are some guys arranging races ..." as was done for the story part. Nothing special, just a little story about a new activity. Why not?

[blk95ta]

Since when has the tornado convertible been unavailable in GTA Online? I've seen them driving around dozens if not hundreds of times.

Search the Sands for New Buried Stashes

Anyone has any luck to find the skeletons. Or am I missing some prerequisites (like owning the Kosatka or similar)???

Otherwise both the sleeping guards, drug vehicles and the buried stashes are bugged for me atm...

Haven't had any "blue dots" for some hours now...
