Independence Day Celebrations Commence in GTA Online

Steal Gang Supplies in a New Dynamic Event, Claim a Wide Range of Red-White-and-Blue Rewards, Earn 2X GTA$ and RP on Hangar Sell Missions, and More This Week

The grill’s heating up, and fireworks are exploding around the clock. It’s Independence Day week in Los Santos, and the patriotic flair is in full force citywide.

Celebrate freedom from tyranny with The Vapid Liberator (Off-Road) monster truck, available to claim for free from Warstock Cache & Carry. The Stars & Stripes, Eagle Claw, Eagle Claw Flag, and Fighting Freedom liveries for the Mobile Operations Center are also free to claim all this week.

INDEPENDENCE DAY DISCOUNTS

Get in the swing of the flag-waving spirit by also taking advantage of 50% off Independence Day-themed vehicles, customizations, weapons, fireworks, and more, including:

Western Sovereign (Motorcycle)
Car Horns
Musket
Firework Launcher
Firework Ammo
Tire/Parachute Smoke
Facepaint and Clothing
Mk II Weapon finishes
Select Haircuts
Masks
Patriot Parachute
USA Chute Bag

In addition to the above, all players can celebrate America’s birthday with explosive aplomb: locating the Gun Van will let you purchase the Firework Launcher and Musket at discount prices.

New Dynamic Event: Finders Keepers

New this week, keep watch for gangs escorting goods across Los Santos and disrupt their supply chains. Take possession of any transport vehicles you come across and bring them to your owned businesses to replenish some of your Supplies. If you don’t own the prerequisite business, you can deliver the goods to a drop-off point for GTA$ and RP.

2X GTA$ and RP on Hangar Sell Missions

Once you’ve acquired enough valuable contraband, offload it by land or by air in Smuggler Sell Missions via the Free Trade Shipping Co. on your Hangar laptop. Successfully deliver your payload to receive Double Rewards through July 5.

As a reminder, smugglers can speak to Rooster inside the Hangar to source Cargo crates for a fee.

The San Andreas Mercenaries Bonuses Event

Source and deliver contraband via the Free Trade Shipping Co. to reap the rewards of rare collectibles during the San Andreas Mercenaries Bonuses Event. Complete the following tasks through July 12 to earn these, all delivered within 10 days of completion:

Buy (or already own) the Operations Terminal and Mammoth Thruster Upgrades for the Mammoth Avenger to receive the Hinterland Bomber Jacket
Sell GTA$500,000 worth of Smuggler cargo goods by July 12 to receive the LS Pounders Cap
Complete all 6 Project Overthrow Missions by July 12 to get the Blue & Green Camo livery for the Mammoth Avenger
Complete all 3 LSA Operations by July 12 to receive the Conveyor livery for the V-65 Molotok

Business Battle Rewards

Be on the lookout for Business Battles firing in Freemode — in addition to paying out 3X GTA$ and RP all week long, if you come out on top collecting and delivering relevant cargo, you might get one of the Pißwasser, Benedict, Patriot, or Supa Wet Beer Hats, or the Statue of Happiness T-Shirt, as a bonus.

2X GTA$ and RP on Air Force Zero

Rise to the occasion in Air Force Zero, protecting or attacking a heavily armored aircraft as it makes its way to its destination, and you’ll earn Double Rewards for doing so.

Only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

Premium Test Ride: Imponte Arbiter GT

Pay Hao’s Special Works a visit to shop for customizations and take this week’s Premium Test Ride for a spin: a heavily modified Imponte Arbiter GT (Muscle) tweaked to the gills and ready to intimidate competitors, passengers, and civilian passersby.

This Week’s HSW Time Trial

Once you’ve let Hao under the hood, put your eligible vehicle through the paces of this week’s HSW Time Trial, cutting a mean streak between Sandy Shores and La Puerta in a North-South sprint.

Premium Deluxe Motorsport Showroom

Simeon Yetarian’s curated selection of rotating stock is always worth a look, especially when he’s offering the chance to inspect and test-drive his rides before parting with your hard-earned cash. Head over to the showroom and check out the vehicles available for purchase this week:

Karin Boor (Off-Road) with the Star-Spangled Patriot livery
Truffade Z-Type (Sports Classics)
Western Sovereign (Motorcycle) with the Independence Day livery
Annis RE-7B (Super) in the Pegasus livery
Vapid Bullet (Super)

Luxury Autos Showroom

Visit the window display of the Luxury Autos showroom on Portola in Rockford Hills to get a closer look at the Truffade Thrax (Super) and Grotti Visione (Super, 30% off) gleaming behind the glass.

On the Lucky Wheel Podium: Vapid Dominator GTX

Spin the Lucky Wheel inside The Diamond Casino & Resort’s lobby for the opportunity to win various prizes, including this week’s jackpot: the Vapid Dominator GTX, a formidable modern Muscle car that’s as American as tax fraud.

Streetwise racers who finish in the Top 3 in the Pursuit Series for two days in a row this week will earn the keys to the Grotti Cheetah Classic, a beloved favorite in the Sports Classics class and a speed demon in its own rite.

Visit the Test Track inside the LS Car Meet to give a trifecta of Sports class cars — the Annis ZR350, Invetero Coquette D10, and Pfister Neon — trial runs between the columns, compete in randomized Scrambles against your peers, or see if you can set a record in a Time Trial.

GTA+

GTA+ Members can enjoy a wide selection of rewards, bonuses, and other perks through July 19, including:

New Maibatsu MonstroCiti Off-Road Vehicle
New Avenger Operations Terminal
Cream Pearl and Blue-Green Flip Chameleon Wheel Paints
