Weekly Event / Bonuses (8th June 2023) - More Pilot Rewards, New Avenger Livery, ULP Mission Bonuses, VIP Work and more!

[Spider-Vice]

For the next few days, and in preparation to go to the real fight against Merryweather (8th - 13th June), more misc. bonuses for pilots all across Los Santos and Blaine County! As an addition, a new livery for logging on this week for the Avenger, bonuses on the Operation Paper Trail missions, Transform Races, VIP Work and Challenges, brand-new aircraft discounts and more!

 

Remember this is just a preview, and information may change. On top of that, Rockstar may reserve things for their own Newswire.

 

We understand that not every Event Week will be to everyone's liking, some will certainly be more exciting than others, but anyway...

Let's get started!

More Flight-Themed Bonuses and Rewards

On 13th June, we're going against Merryweather, and if we want to be mercenaries tackling other dirty mercenaries, then we should all probably be ready for it. For the next few days, until DLC release on Tuesday, find the continuation of flight-themed bonuses, such as the Flight School (go and learn to fly, Carl) and a new Avenger livery.

If tactical landings are your thing, you'll be able to do those in Drop Zone, as long as you keep control of your area!

Until 13th June, DLC day:

 

• 2x GTA$ and RP on Flight School (not gotten all Gold Medals yet somehow? Go on!)
• 2x GTA$ and RP on the Drop Zone Adversary Mode
• Log-in any time in the next few days to receive the Santo Capra Coins Mammoth Avenger Livery
• UPDATE: Air Quota, Air Force Zero and G-Rating Hot/Cold from last week will still be available on the Adversary Modes list if you enjoy those modes!

United... Liberty Paper Needs Your Help! In Los Santos!

Last Summer, folks expected to not hear from United Liberty Paper again - that is until he suddenly appeared on everyone's radar again with the release of Criminal Enterprises! He needs to know what exactly is still going on under that silo in Mount Chiliad (and you, the player, what exactly the IAA is doing with those Juggernauts seen in the Agency Deal Contract...) and this week it's a good time to unveil that mystery again.

 

2x GTA$ and RP on all Operation Paper Trail Missions

 

---

Transform Yourself in Races and Establish Executive Superiority

There is no shame in wanting or feeling like you need/want change, transforming yourself, whether this involves fuel and the roads, or not. Whether we're talking about cars transforming into airplanes or not - the next few days will be all about Transform Races!

On top of it, until 13th June, it's time to get your CEO suit up (but keep your Mercenary suit ready to go) and engage in VIP Work and Challenges which will be on bonus as well.

 

• 3x GTA$ and RP in Transform Races
• 2x GTA$ and RP on VIP Work and Challenges

 

---

Discounts

Not ready yet for what's coming? You still can, with the continuation of some of last week's discounts (e.g. Hangars) and more airplanes! The Conada is right there for you, and it's gonna get weapons so buckle up!

Miscellaneous

 

The Diamond Casino & Resort Lucky Wheel

Sometimes, the Casino kind of wants you to stop gambling, because you've probably been there a good while, probably for days, weeks, or more. And the recommendation this week is, as long as you haven't lost all your money or motivation, why not go on a camping trip?

If you can trick the Lucky Wheel to be on your side for the next few days, get a chance at winning a free Zirconium Journey II. Dax would be proud.

 

LS Car Meet Prize Ride

As citizens of Los Santos worry about a potential new threat in the horizon, with paramilitary or mercenary activity speculated to happen all across the state, the LS Car Meet is either going to be very full of people hiding, or very empty as everyone is fleeing. Still, until then, if you need something to tide you over the storm, place Top 3 in LS Car Meet Races, 4 days in a row to win the Vapid Dominator GTT.

 

As for the Test Track vehicles, if you fancy any of them or feel like spending some quick money before the madness, find, until 13th June:

• Vapid GB200
• Lampadati Cinquemila
• Annis Remus

 

On Xbox Series and PS5, if you prefer Hao's side of the shop with the magic fuel and the magic engines, test and/or buy the Karin S95 HSW.

Premium Deluxe Motorsport

Over at Simeon's this week... he's probably gonna be scared of Don Percival's people storming onto his legitimate business, maybe via the window just like Franklin in a reality many ages ago, but, you can find:

• Dinka Blista Kanjo
• Lampadati Novak (also 30% off)
• Pegassi Toros
• Canis Kamacho
• Imponte Beater Dukes

 

Luxury Autos

• Obey 8F Drafter (also 30% off)
• Benefactor Schlagen GT

We finally Got bonuses on vip work and transform races .

I personally was expecting them for months.

[MilesFox92]

What a great podium vehicle.

[GTA Hurricane]

Perhaps not the best money-making event, but Transform races on triple & VIP work on double will help with RP gains so I'll take it. Hoping to hit rank 1000 before the end of this year. Thanks Spider.

Rank 1000 is one of the most enjoyable things once achieved! Go for it! 

I just Got 1900 and i needed a Boost to My Road to 2000, this event is perfect regarding RP

Does this confirm that the Conada will simply get weapons added to it, instead of it being an entirely new model that you have to buy? If so, that's great. I already own one and don't want to buy another.

[SirMasterEpic]

Imagine 2 weeks of flight school bonus.. lol

That was my description of it, I am hoping it's an upgrade and not something separate.

Damn, no air quota? That's a shame.

Not on 2x but it'll still be up on the job rotation, all of last week's aerial Adversary Modes (Drop Zone, Air Force Zero, Air Quota and G-Rating) will still be available tomorrow. I was curious about that, asked R* and they've confirmed so I'll update the OP with that for anyone interested.

What are they going to to do about the FOMO vehicles from this DLC?

Most likely stay delisted. R* will more than likely make more vehicles FOMO in San Andreas Mercenaries to try and increase player engagement.

• 8F Drafter has an unobtainable Wheel Color (Metallic Ice White).
• Schlagen GT has an unobtainable Wheel Color (Matte Black).

• Kamacho has an unobtainable Wheel Color (Metallic Frost White).

 

[The-Ghost]

I wonder if they meticulously pick these colors for these cars, the unobtainable ones that is, or if they do random generations and pick the coolest looking of the bunch.

 

I know they know what they picked, as they had listed them in detail on some rare occasions (which I thought was cool) but it's wild to me that some dev picks specific colors that are usually unavailable for the players in normal means as a choice of customization for these special vehicles.

 

 

[Mr 80s]

Haven't played the ULP missions again since their release. Guess it's time to give them another go. So is the Gauntlet Classic 40% off and the Custom upgrade also 40% off, or is the Custom upgrade only 40% off? I absolutely love my Gauntlet classic (my favorite Gauntlet in the game) and it may be time to get the custom variant I've been putting off. 

[CUTS3R]

The conada being on sale makes me believe that it will be upgraded to "conada custom" with weapons kinda like the insurgent does.

Unless R* is trying to trick us with a red herring and making us purchase it believing what i just said, but in the end there is a separate new one anyway forcing us to spend even more money

And this gives me a headache! Buy it now with discount? What if we won't be able to modify it? What if the armed version is another from Warstock?

They probably pick them on purpose, just so that dummies like me will buy it because it has a special color. I never drive my GB200 but I totally need another one with metallic gold rims

Conada has closed doors, i doubt they gonna bother with weapons upgrade that will also change the look of the vehicle. Plus more money to spend.

I think it's an incentive for you to buy the vehicles via Simeon instead as they may have unobtainable stuff, as long as you don't overwrite it. I think it's pretty good, having a place where you can get vehicles with rare or unobtainable colours, or even limited time liveries again (like 2-3 weeks ago).

Can someone remind me why I can't get more than 48k for ULP missions? I remember getting 90k on hard and bonus week. Or they got nerfed at some point?

[Bella Odessa]

Was doing flight school for the majority of last week (I'm terrible at flying), so the bonus is an okay incentive to go back to the silver and bronze medals.

Because ULP missiona are 2x now. In December 2022 ULP missions were 4x instead of 2x. Don't know if that was a mistake from their end.

Harmnone did his weekly video saying it was the custom upgrade only and not the car itself.
