GTA Online Update News (Sept. 15, 2022)

Rockstar Games is happy to announce updated content in GTA Online.

Introducing the GTA Online Community Series

Plus New Deathmatches, an Extensive Update for the Job Creator, the Winner of the Sprunk vs. eCola Showdown, and More

The new Community Series celebrates the talented creators of the GTA Online community with a curated playlist of superbly constructed Jobs. Now available to launch from Legion Square, the first iteration of the Series features seven high-octane Races from skilled players such as ShelbyGR, EnigmaT1m, and more.

Expect to see new Jobs periodically cycled in and out of the Series in the coming months as we highlight more of our favorite player-made creations. If you’ve created something special you believe to be worthy of the Community Series spotlight, tag it with #CommunitySeries on Social Club and Twitter — with a link to the Job so we can check it out.

The Community Series launches with 2X GTA$ and RP all week long plus a lump sum bonus of GTA$200,000 just for participating in any 3 Community Series Jobs. Power slide into the corona at Legion Square, launch via your map, or fire up any of these Races from the Quick Join menu to get involved:

Deathmatch Creator Update

Starting today, players can use the Deathmatch Creator to build out tons of new game types and modes with a slew of additions to the tool. The Deathmatch Creator Tutorial has been updated to guide you through the new additions, which include customization and modification options to define player inventories, alter team balancing, control starting health, hide player blips, change movement speeds and much, much more. You can even use new Modifier Sets to shrink play areas over time and gain health or other items as you score a kill.

To showcase what these new tools are capable of, we’ve published six new Deathmatches made using the updated Creator, now playable in-game:

Big Shot: You’ve got just one gun, one bullet, and one shot to kill your foes. Taking out an enemy will reward you with another bullet, but you can also scavenge from fallen fighters. The first team to reach the target score wins.
Speed Kills: Balance is crucial in this mode where the first team to reach the target score wins. One moves quickly while carrying slow-firing weapons; the other moves slowly but carry weapons with faster rates-of-fire.
Hot Swap: Racking up the highest score you can in a five-minute window sounds simple, but things can get complicated when the weapon in your hand keeps changing. Transferable skills have never been so important.
Dead Head: Take out your enemies to earn points — headshots earn bonus points. Precision is the key component.
Sumo Crush: This free-for-all Sumo variation is all about momentum: force your competition out of the area to score points. Last one standing wins.
Friendly Fire: This one’s simple, but with a twist: kill the enemies, and stop them from wiping out your team to earn points. Here’s the catch: killing your own teammates gives you a bonus. Can you wipe out the enemy team before they wipe out each other?

Announcing the Winner of the Sprunk vs. eCola Showdown

Well, the dust has settled, and the branding exercise of the century is over. It’s been a dog-eat-dog competition out there: red and green doing battle on the streets over the past month in the Sprunk vs. eCola showdown.

Diehard soda fans guzzled a ridiculous amount of cans, claimed millions of bodysuits, transformed their cars into speeding billboards, and raced to photo finishes in the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series to prove their allegiance. But only one brand can come out on top.

Ultimately, eCola fans came out and showed up in greater numbers — proving this beverage is truly Deliciously Infectious! As a result, all players will receive the eCola Parachute Bag, eCola Jacket, and eCola Cap upon logging into GTA Online this week. Meanwhile, everyone who played GTA Online at any point during the Sprunk vs. eCola showdown will receive a GTA$300,000 bonus automatically wired to their Maze Bank account (delivered within 72 hours of logging in).

Premium Deluxe Motorsport Showroom

The Sprunk vs. eCola showdown may be over, but you can still visit Simeon’s showroom this week and peruse a selection of themed vehicles sourced in a totally legitimate and legal fashion:

A Classic Garnet Red Dinka Veto Modern equipped with the eCola livery
A Classic Red Vapid Peyote Gasser complete with the Blacktop Burner livery
The Annis Hellion painted Pearlescent Torino Red and wrapped in the Nightmare livery
A Metallic Bright Green version of the Weeny Issi Sport (50% off) in a White Stripes livery
The Obey Omnis in a tasteful shade of Matte Green and the Classic Rally livery

Luxury Autos Showroom

Stop by the Luxury Autos Showroom – located just across the street from Record A Studios in Rockford Hills – to get a closer look at the Benefactor SM722, painted a Classic Garnet Red and decked out in the Speed Livery, and the Classic Green Pegassi Tezeract (30% off) wrapped in the Sprunk Livery, and purchase either or both vehicles outright.

Bonuses for Offloading Special Cargo

Academics and PhDs consider economics a “soft science,” but the market’s whims hit different in Los Santos. Case in point: is your Warehouse filled with valuable contraband? Don’t let it sit idly by gathering dust — offload it in Special Cargo Sell Missions.

Completing a Special Cargo Sale will earn you a special GTA$250k bonus, while completing 3 will get you an additional GTA$250K (bonuses delivered within 72 hours of completion). Plus, get a 50% discount this week on sourced cargo from Lupe.

3X GTA$ and RP on Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series

Make the most of it by ensuring those sponsor decals are secured in place and heading to the starting line to earn your prize purse: all participants in the Southern San Andreas Super Sports Series will earn 3X GTA$ and RP until the end of this week.

Only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

Premium Test Ride: The Principe Deveste Eight

Visit Hao at the LS Car Meet to check out this week’s Premium Test Ride: the Principe Deveste Eight, an already formidable hypercar augmented with additional upgrades of questionable legality. Savor the looks of shock and awe on the faces of your fellow racers, pedestrians, and astonished LSPD officers.

Once you max your ride’s performance out at Hao’s Special Works, test its mettle by cutting a streak between Del Perro Beach and Murietta Heights in this week’s HSW Time Trial.

There are plenty of ways to flaunt brand loyalty on the roads of Los Santos this week, including a red Pegassi Tempesta on the podium next to the Lucky Wheel at The Diamond Casino & Resort.

There’s a red Maxwell Vagrant available for any LS Car Meet member who wins a Street Race four days in a row.
