GTA Online Weekly Update January 16, 2025
Hidden beneath Fort Zancudo is a legendary military base housing two important things: the Scarab Tank, and some GTA$ bonuses!

This GTA Online Weekly Update wants you to climb aboard a Scarab Tank and drive it home to victory in The Brute Force File, offering GTA$ incentives, and some bonus optional challenges.
Otherwise, this week is a bit small for boosts, but discounts are back up to their normal levels!
GTA Online Weekly Update Free Spin
Log in to GTA Online this week to get a free spin on the Lucky Wheel at The Diamond Casino & Resort, and be in for a chance to win this week’s grand prize: a Benefactor Stirling GT (Sports Classic).
You get one free spin on the wheel every 24 hours and have a 5% chance of winning the podium vehicle per spin. Of course, you’ll first need to sign up to the casino with a one-off membership fee of $500 if you haven’t already.
If you don’t get the vehicle, you are still guaranteed to win:
- A mystery prize (5%)
- A Vehicle Discount (5%)
- Clothing (20%)
- Poker Chips (20%)
- Cash (20%)
- RP (25%)
The amounts you win vary, but it’s always worth using your free spin, so make sure to log in every day.
GTA Online Weekly Update Bonus GTA$ and RP Activities
If you want to earn more GTA$ and RP, you can score some extra paydirt with these GTA$ and RP boosts:
- Double GTA$ and RP on Payphone Hits.
- Double GTA$ and RP on Overtime Rumble.
- Double GTA$ on Priority FIB Files (must be GTA+ member)
Complete any three FIB Files and you’ll get a bonus GTA$100,000, and complete The Black Box File to get a free Merryweather Hoodie.
Finally, place in the Top 3 for four days in a row in the LS Car Meet Series and walk away with a free Vapid Flash GT (Sports).
