GTA Online Weekly Update January 9, 2025
Much like last week, this GTA Online Weekly Update is a bit of a small one! That said, the El Strickler rifle is now no longer exclusive to GTA+ members and can be purchased from the Gun Van with a 10% discount.
Sadly, it seems PC players won’t get access to this rifle just yet, but at least they can still get their hands on a free Vapid Firebolt ASP (Off Road) by completing the Tier 4 Career Progress challenge of Agents of Sabotage.
GTA Online Weekly Update free spin
Login 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 Declasse Impaler LX (Muscle).
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 $500 if you haven’t already.
If you don’t get the vehicle, you are still guaranteed to win:
- A mystery prize (5%)
- A Vehicle Discount (5%)
- Clothing (20%)
- Poker Chips (20%)
- Cash (20%)
- RP (25%)
The amounts you win vary, but it’s always worth using your free spin, so make sure to login every day.
GTA Online Weekly Update bonus GTA$ and RP activities
If you want to earn more GTA$ and RP, you now have two leisurely weeks to enjoy these GTA$ and RP boosts:
- Triple GTA$ and RP on Community Series
- Double GTA$ and RP on FIB File mission challenges
- Double GTA$ and RP on Random Transform races
Unlike other weeks, you can net an additional 100,000 GTA$ not by playing a mode, but rather by creating one. Simply create one Job in the Creator, and walk away with a cash prize.
Finally, place in the top three for two days in a row in the LS Car Meet Series and walk away with a free Vapid Caracara 4×4 (Off Road).
