Weekly Event (16th August 2023) - Sell your Crates and Mixed Goods for Extra this Week, New Community Jobs and more

[Spider-Vice]

This week and until 24th August in GTA Online, the Business-focused month continues! This time, dust off your warehouses as Special Cargo bonuses are introduced (hi Crateman!), alongside bonuses on Special Vehicle Work, Mixed Goods Exports, new Community Jobs, Arena War bonuses (yes, including AP!) 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!

The Business Month Continues - Revisit Your Cargo Warehouses, Complete Special Vehicle Work, and Export Mixed Goods for Extra

Last week, executives across the state had the opportunity to focus on their gunrunning businesses - getting their weapons from A to B, avoiding obstacles, or delivering them across the span of a mountain, all for 2x the moolah. This week, if you haven't entered your cargo warehouse in a while, it's time to do so, and not forget to dust it off, as it's time to enjoy bonuses on finally emptying that warehouse.

If your thing is more on the vehicular side, you can also find bonuses on Special Vehicle Work. Get in touch with SecuroServ in your office computer or Master Control Terminal, and use each of the Import/Export DLC Special Vehicles to wreak some havoc - yes, that includes sending cops into the high heavens with a Phantom Wedge.

If you're at your office, additionally, you can also export some Mixed Goods for a big extra, and earn rewards! So this week, find:

 

• 2x GTA$ and RP on Special Cargo Sell Missions
• 2x GTA$ and RP on Special Vehicle Work Missions
• 3x GTA$ and RP on Mixed Goods Exportation
• Complete a Special Cargo Steal Mission to win the Orange Pinstripe Pajamas
• Complete VIP Work and a Mixed Goods delivery to receive the Abstract Camo livery for the Penaud La Coureuse within 10 days of completion

Arena War is Back with bonuses, including Arena Points!

Plus, Introducing New Community Series Jobs + Bonuses

If you missed Alan Gerome's deranged rants, delusions of grandeur, and his enjoyment of what he claims to be raw American action, he's certainly back to narrate all of your achievements in the Arena War Series! Accompany it with some of Sacha Yetarian's techno and this might just be your thing! Just spare Bryony a bit, she already has to hear Alan all day every day.

Bonuses on the Arena War Series are back, alongside a boost in Arena Points for completing each of the game modes!

Miscellaneous

 

The Diamond Casino & Resort Lucky Wheel

Reports say that people saw a vintage beauty from nearly 10 years ago roll into the Diamond Casino and Resort, perhaps for use in the Lucky Wheel this week. Some said that it reminded them of that special Valentine's Day in 2016, and others were just drooling, wanting to drive it and experience it. For free, that is.

This week at the Lucky Wheel, count your blessings and spin that wheel as hard as you can, to get a chance at winning an Albany Roosevelt Valor.

 

LS Car Meet Prize Ride

"Executives don't belong in such an underground car club as ours! We don't do capitalism here, they can screw off back into their offices!" - that is, at least, what the folks over in the Los Santos Car Meet say... except they are barely aware that some of those visitors who aren't suited up are getting their hands dirty selling special cargo and just want to test some rides, or win a new one - barely the capitalists they'd complain about. All this said, everybody this week can get a chance at winning the Dewbauchee Specter up in that Slamtruck by placing Top 3 in LS Car Meet Races for 2 days in a row.

 

Over at the Test Track, should testing some new/old vehicles appease you, you can find the following rides to test or buy as appropriate:

• Emperor Vectre
• Enus Windsor Drop
• Pegassi Tempesta (also 40% off)

 

Hao's as excited as ever to be introducing a new HSW vehicle onto his parking slot near his desk. Look for the red HSW logo on PS5 and Xbox Series, and test out or purchase the Imponte Arbiter GT HSW.

Premium Deluxe Motorsport

Simeon's nephew is here! In what seems to be a resurgence in Arena War bonuses, Simeon seemed to be quite pleased to be seeing Sasha talk about his job again, although his head is a 24/7 stream of techno music. Regardless, Simeon is happy, and he continues to sell and make available for testing vehicles for citizens across the state. This week at PDM:

• Benefactor XLS (also 40% off)
• Enus Cognoscenti - both "55" and Armoured variants
• Progen Itali GTB (also 30% off)
• Benefactor Schafter LWB

 

Luxury Autos

Luxury Autos across the road from Dre's studio features two Supers this week, with one of them being a mid 2010's classic in GTA Online:

• Grotti X80 Proto
• Överflöd Entity XXR (30% off)

 

Time Trials and Premium Races

This week across the state of San Andreas, find the following time trials and premium race:

• Muscle  Premium Race: Muscle In
• Regular Time Trial: LSIA
• HSW Time Trial: Del Perro Beach to Murrieta Heights

Best event week of 2023, variety of bonuses and Nice unlocks.

Crates on double? Guess I'd better spend the rest of today doing some heavy-duty crate sourcing to be ready for it, lol. Mixed goods exports on triple is great too. Huge W week.

 

Thank you @Spider-Vice and Rockstar for sharing this wonderful news with us.

[Barrtek]

Time to put coat and black gloves once again to intimidate enemies, to source and secure that sweet cargo and later sell it by land, sea and air!

You are appreciated for posting these each week friend

This week is so damn good! for this week

[Mr 80s]

I've been trying to figure out how to buy a larger warehouse for awhile now. For some reason I can't figure it out. I bought a small one back when they came out and want to get a large one especially since they are on sale. I don't even remember how I bought the 1st one LOL. Looks like a good week to try and get some level ups in the Arena Wars. I haven't played those in quite awhile now. 

[TacitusKilgore]

Appreciate the Tempesta pic share Spider! Thanks

[FirsU]

really a W month

[maxon1196]

Do you have a feeling about CEO crates? It's like another time you predict CEO bonuses and it becomes true 

[Spider-Vice]

Well they said business bonuses for the next 4 weeks on the Newswire so I guess I had a feeling  Barrtek over in the DLC thread also guessed it for today.

[Lonely-Martin]

Good week. Even though I'm bored to piss of business, can't fault the money on offer for those selling full large warehouses. Happy trails, @Crateman!

 

I'll jump into the arena though 2x just isn't enough mind you. 2x should be made permanent then once a month do a 2x of that, then we're getting closer! Easy free car from the car meet for my penny pinching low rank too. Cool, cool.

 

But I'll definitely sell some surplus for GTA$150k a pop. Easy money!!

I've been maining Bomb Ball & Flag War for the whole year, its been live but yea 2x isn't enough already..

 

How is 'selling some surplus' (i dont even know what that is really) compared to the ammunation contract which was a very easy 150k this week?

It's the same kind of thing, but you start it by calling Lupe, go to one of your CEO warehouses(choosen at random), collect the flatbed truck with the cargo and deliver it to the docks, far as I know it only gets delivered to the docks and nowhere else. Pretty straightforward.

 

It does not remove crates from your warehouses, as it's surplus too.

 

It's okay-ish, with 150k it gets very good.

[ST0b]

Woke up super early to sell cargo.Tunable Guy,I am very sleepy because I couldn't sleep the whole night.Change/Update the Tunables super early today.

[ambi3nt]

Bruh they give 2x for arena while I'm busy on bg3.

I think Love Fist Fury is the design for the RPG.

Thank you. That's three different answers and I still can't find any proof yet. I'll keep looking

 

Eta it's apparently an outfit for female characters only. I guess it didn't unlock on my female character

"Assault on Cayo Perico" Changes

 

- You now earn more money playing with low player counts. Previously, playing with 3 to 8 players results in a ~120% decrease in payout. This has been lowered to a ~60% decrease resulting in more pay. It's now estimated that you earn ~30k playing with 3 to 8 players. Whereas previously, you would earn ~6k playing with 3 to 8 players.

 

- Payout now maximizes at 30 minutes. Previously set to 45 minutes.

 

- You now earn more money upon reaching 20 minutes. Previously, you would have had to reach 30 minutes to receive more.

 

- Previously, when you play for more than 15 minutes, the payout stays the same. Now, the mode pays more upon reaching 20 minutes and pays even more upon reaching 30 minutes.

- 7th time interval reduced from 30 minutes to 20 minutes.
6th time interval is set to 15 mins. Previously, you would have had to reach 30 mins to scale up to the next time-scaled pay variable. Now, upon reaching 20 minutes, the mode scales up the pay.

- 8th time interval reduced from 45 minutes to 30 minutes.
Now, beyond 30 mins, the payout stays the same.

If Rockstar plans to fix the "OVERWRITE_CLOUD_VS_MISSION_AWARDS" issue, the adv mode would pay even more.

 

I already disabled that variable on PC and earned more money than other players. Although, I am not sure what's going on with the RP.

 

Spoiler

 

That's prior to these new changes. If Rockstar were to fix the overwrite issue now, playing with more than 24 players and spending up to or more than 30 minutes would net you ~300k by default without 2x/3x bonuses.

They should also set the minimum players to be 8 at least.

 

Some noobs out there really think hosting this with 6 players or less is a good idea.

 

I played one where we had 5 players, one was afk so it was really 4, it was lame.
