All GTA, all day, since 2012

This Week’s GTA Online Bonuses Headlined by Transform Races, Gunrunning

Seven new Transform Races tracks hit GTA Online this week alongside the usual increased reward payouts across a wide variety of activities.


What’s this? New content in our weekly round of Grand Theft Auto Online bonuses? Joining the boosted rewards for select activities in GTA Online are brand new races zooming into the Transform Races lineup. You can also earn extra off Gunrunning and Gerald’s Last Play, and claim some nifty gifts – all this and more, through the 10th of April.

Starting from pole position is Transform Races, which alongside offering double XP and GTA$ rewards is also expanding with 7 brand new tracks. These don’t just shake up the scenery, but add new mechanics as well spread across two distinct modes.

Transform Races is living up to its name in the most chaotic way possible.

You’ve got your Known Unknown Races and your Unknown Unknown Races, introducing what may be the most deranged naming schemes in GTA Online content to date. The former has you transforming into a random vehicle from a predetermined pool when you hit checkpoints, whereas the latter unleashes true bedlam where checkpoints will transform you into a truly random vehicle.

If all the crazy transforming gets your head spinning, you can switch lanes and take on the much more traditional and mundane task of developing and selling illegal weaponry. All in a day’s work? Gunrunning sell missions are paying out 2X the usual GTA$ and RP, while Research Mission rewards have been tripled.

Said Bunker Research Missions are also the subject of Weekly Challenges – if you complete three of these, you’ll get a net bonus of GTA$ 100,000 as well as the snazzy Dollar Daggers Hoodie – on that note, you can also get the Vom Feuer Camo Tee for free by Stealing Supplies. Further dividends can be earned via double rewards from the Ammu-Nation Contract.

If you’re in the mood for smaller-time crime more in line with the classic Grand Theft Auto experience, Gerald’s Contact Missions are paying out double GTA$ and 4X the usual RP, giving newer players a fantastic opportunity to catch up in levels.

Smaller activities of interest include the returning classic Adversary Modes Overtime Rumble, Tiny Racers, and Collection Time, as well as a new set of Salvage Yard targets: the Albany Brigham (Muscle), Karin Hotring Everon (Sports), andd the Lampadati Tigon (Super).

I was not aware they added new ones. I thought this was just for a bonus on rewards. Must have overlooked that! Going to have to check these out tonight :D

This is really the only time I do gunrunning missions. You get a good amount with the 2 times bonus running. I can't be arsed when it is not part of the weekly update. The $100,000 bonus for completing three of them is a nice touch. I also want that Dollar Daggers hoodie.

They can be fun but having new ones is great cause doing the same few over and over again gets boring real fast. I don't do much racing anymore but I will check these out. Been awhile since I played one.

Meh. Not much going on for me.

When does the summer update happen? I am looking forward to that now. Is it in June? July? I honestly don't remember when they drop those.

I played so much racing before that I burned myself out on it but I had fun with these new tracks. I will be playing more this weekend.
