In GTA 5 Online a new event week has started. Additionally, GTA Online is celebrating its 7th anniversary. This combination led to hopes for a strong bonus week, but players are now disappointed by the “gifts.”
What are GTA bonuses? Every Thursday, a new bonus week begins in GTA 5 Online. This means that players earn more GTA dollars and RP (for level-ups) for certain actions. Other areas offer discounts on vehicles or properties.
However, since today, on October 1st, is the birthday of GTA Online, players expected cool bonuses, discounts, and some larger gifts. After all, Rockstar already let players choose which activity they would like to have double rewards in a bonus week.
Looking at the new bonuses this week found by dataminers on reddit and Twitter, some players say:
- “Isn’t this the day GTA Online was released? Aren’t they doing something special? Especially since today the new bonus week starts.”
- “This is one way to celebrate 7 years of GTA Online…”
- “One might think they would bring something special for the 7th anniversary of GTA Online… or not?”
- “7th anniversary and we get this… The next update has to be special or this will be the end of the game.”
What’s in the new bonus week of GTA Online
What bonuses are active? This week, there are double rewards in various areas of the game:
- “Diamond adversary” modes
- Business Battles
- “Special vehicle work” missions
The podium car has changed: Along with new money bonuses, the car that spins on the podium of the casino has also changed. You can now find the Coil Brawler there.
Players already suspected that there is a trick to definitely get the podium car in GTA Online.
Current discounts and gifts in GTA Online
Where can you save now? So you can invest your earned money right away, the bonus week also offers discounts on various vehicles and properties. In addition, there are further gifts:
- Offices – 40% discount
- Office upgrades – 30% discount
- Vehicle storage – 25% discount
- Blazer Aqua – 40%
- Ramp Buggy – 40%
- Phantom Wedge – 40%
- Red The Diamond Classic T-Shirt – free
These are the discounts and gifts that have been added this new week. The other discounts remained the same as we had last week.
What is the problem with the bonus week now? The disappointment is likely primarily due to the lack of special gifts to celebrate the 7th birthday. Players might have expected a special money bonus or a gifted vehicle, as is usually the case at Christmas.
But even the repetition of the discounts seems to contribute to the disappointment, as only a few new ones have been added. A fresh wind would certainly also be desired outside the birthday celebration.
