GTA Online Update News (April 20, 2023)

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

Fight It Out in All New Deathmatches With Dynamic Loadouts in GTA Online

Enjoy the Highest Holiday of Them All This Week by Embarking on Short Trips, Collecting Rare Clothing and Paraphernalia, and More

The competitive chaos in Los Santos intensifies this week as two new Deathmatches test players’ abilities with changing weaponry. Meanwhile, locals are celebrating 4/20 while distributors stand to gain from bonuses on Weed Farms. Plus, double rewards for completing Short Trips, a selection of new Community Series Jobs, and lots more.

Shake Up

Experience Shake Up — a new Free-for-All Deathmatch where each time you kill an opponent or respawn, you get given a different random weapon. Melee weapons (including fists) inflict one-hit kills, so going bare-knuckle could also be a legitimate strategy in a pinch.

Top Marks

Introducing Top Marks — an all-new Team Deathmatch where you’ll be given a unique loadout — and different radar blip behavior — depending on if your team is tied, winning, or losing. Try not to spend the whole time losing.

Both new Deathmatches are paying out 3X GTA$ and RP all week long.

CELEBRATE 4/20 WITH THESE BONUSES

It’s all going up in smoke this week as reefer madness reaches new highs in Los Santos. Have an out-of-body experience in Short Trips, stack product at your Weed Farm, and collect special accessories and other forms of assorted paraphernalia.

2X GTA$ and RP on Short Trips

Take a hit in the back room of Record A Studios and embark on Short Trips — play as Franklin and Lamar to earn 2X GTA$ and RP.

Weed Farm Bonuses

Professional growers and sellers can take advantage of doubled production speeds at Weed Farms and 2X Supplies paid out for completing Biker Resupply Missions to keep your stash stocked.

Those looking to join the green rush can shop for Weed Farm locations and upgrades (including Equipment, Staff, and Security) for their MC Business — all are 30% off as part of the 4/20 festivities.

Put together a heady outfit by completing any of this week’s objectives to collect rare clothing and accessories that boost your stoner cred, including a selection of refreshing Sprunk gear to satisfy your thirst for merch.

Log in to receive the High Flyer Chute Bag, Sprunk Chute Bag, and Pastel Green Smoking Jacket
Complete any Biker Sell Mission to receive the Sprunk Varsity Jacket
Become an Associate or Bodyguard to receive the Sprunk cap

3X GTA$ and RP on Lamar Contact Missions

Lamar Davis is an OG of the Los Santos gang scene. Help the living legend out by getting in touch with him using your iFruit — or the Rockstar Created section of the Jobs menu — to complete Lamar Contact Missions and earn 3X the GTA$ and RP all week long.

2X GTA$ and RP on RC Bandito Races

Take the carnage of monster-truck racing and shrink it down to curb height. All RC Bandito Races are paying out 2X GTA$ and RP through April 26.
