'Grand Theft Auto Online' Adds New Adversary Mode on Cayo Perico, Weaponized Helicopter, Gunrunning Bonuses And More

by Rainier on Aug. 10, 2023 @ 9:46 a.m. PDT

Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.

When a young street hustler, a retired bank robber and a terrifying psychopath find themselves entangled with some of the most frightening and deranged elements of the criminal underworld, the U.S. government and the entertainment industry, they must pull off a series of dangerous heists to survive in a ruthless city in which they can trust nobody, least of all each other.

Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover.

Grand Theft Auto V also comes with Grand Theft Auto Online, the dynamic and ever-evolving online universe for up to 30 players, and includes all existing gameplay upgrades and content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Rise through the ranks to become a CEO of your own criminal empire by trading contraband or form a Motorcycle Club and rule the streets. Pull off daring co-operative Heists, enter adrenaline-fueled Stunt Races, compete in unique Adversary Modes or create your own content to play and share with the entire GTA community.

Starting today, El Rubio’s private island plays host to an all-new, multi-stage Adversary Mode, Assault on Cayo Perico, where teams of attackers and defenders clash over control of the island paradise.

New Assault on Cayo Perico and the Buckingham Weaponized Conada Helicopter Now Available

A tropical island sounds like paradise, until you’re caught in an intense crossfire. Return to the scene of one of the most ambitious GTA Online adventures in Assault on Cayo Perico — a new Adversary Mode that pits teams of Attackers and Defenders against each other on the distant island’s gorgeous shores.

One team is tasked with attacking the island in hopes of hacking a crucial computer terminal. Meanwhile, the opposing squad must defend El Rubio’s island paradise until time runs out, wiping out any interlopers that breach the island’s defenses.

Attackers will need to navigate the island and dodge the defending team’s suppressive fire, starting from the airfield, maneuvering through the docks, destroying radar arrays en route, and culminating in a tense standoff inside the fortified compound.

This week, both sides of this action-packed conflict will earn 2X GTA$ and RP for taking part in this mode’s explosive inauguration. Launch Assault on Cayo Perico by visiting the blip near Los Santos International Airport or via Quick Join on your iFruit. This week also marks the return of several classic combative Adversary Modes to GTA Online, including OccupyExtraction, and Trading Places (Remix).

Assert Your Aerial Dominance in the New Buckingham Weaponized Conada

Civilians, beware: Buckingham finally caved to pressure and made a weaponized version of its beloved Conada helicopter, equipped with twin machine guns and missile launchers, available for civilian purchase. Politicians will try to regulate it out of existence, but the cat is out of the bag, feral, and armed to the teeth with military-grade firepower to subdue all threats.

A cornerstone of the Merryweather private security arsenal, and prominently featured in the action-packed Unconventional Warfare mission from Project Overthrow in San Andreas Mercenaries, the Buckingham Weaponized Conada is now available to anyone from Warstock Cache & Carry.

Gunrunning Bunker Boosts and Bonuses

Over the next four weeks, GTA Online will feature businesses and reward upwardly striving moguls looking to climb the ranks of Los Santos’ criminal pursuits, willing to go that extra mile for the almighty dollar. Use the new Career Progress feature on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S to meet demand head-on this week as an illicit arms trader.

For those yet to enter the lucrative world of Gunrunning, taking your operation subterranean is even easier this week as all Bunkers and their Upgrades and Modifications are 30% off. Set up a Bunker, complete a Resupply Mission and a Research Project to knock out the Tier 1 Gunrunning progress, which includes the All American Service Shirt as a reward.

2X GTA$ and RP on Bunker Sell Missions

Build your stockpile of contraband and offload the goods in Bunker Sell Missions, which will unlock the Tier 2 Complete a Sell Mission Gunrunning challenge while also earning you 2X GTA$ and RP all week long.

Meanwhile, Research Speeds are doubled, so assigning your Staff to research projects will help maximize productivity and profitability. Complete a Bunker Sell Mission at any point this week and you’ll be able to show off your team spirit with the collectible Ammu-Nation Baseball Tee.

3X GTA$ and RP on Ammu-Nation Contracts

The black and gray markets are always looking for more supply. If your lab rats end up producing an excess of armaments, you can always off-load the surplus to earn 3X GTA$ and RP by completing Ammu-Nation Contracts.
