The digital streets of Los Santos are bustling with activity this week, courtesy of the latest update rolled out by Rockstar on September 28. The game’s latest update not only bolsters the ever-evolving world of Grand Theft Auto with a fresh round of content, bonuses, and rewards but also introduces some impactful changes to the well-received Assault on Cayo Perico heist.
Foremost, players invested in the Assault on Cayo Perico heist might need to revise their strategies and expectations. Rockstar has recalibrated the setup costs and finale payouts for the heist, most prominently increasing the setup costs from $25,000 to a whopping $100,000. Additionally, the payouts for several primary and secondary targets have been scaled down. However, the payments for The Madrazo Files, the Pink Diamond, and Gold as a secondary target remain untouched. To balance the scale, Rockstar is doubling the base GTA$ payouts for Assault on Cayo Perico, and boosting rewards for those who rise to the challenge of optional missions.
GTA Online aficionados can expect a sprinkle of celebratory gifts this week as well, so make sure to scroll down below to find out more:
- 2X GTA$ and RP on Hasta La Vista
- 2X Special Cargo Crates from Special Cargo Warehouse manager Lupe
- 2X Production Speeds for Biker Businesses,

Furthermore, as a nod to Oktoberfest, the traditionally-styled Alpine Hat can be added to the in-game wardrobe of every player until October 4. Another sartorial freebie is the Red Happy Moon Tee, marking the Mid-Autumn Festival, which players can claim simply by logging in.

The developers have voiced their intent to “continue to monitor GTA$ payouts across all activity types and make further adjustments as needed.”
