'Grand Theft Auto Online' (ALL) Adds BF Weevil Vehicle, Double/Triple Rewards, Free Hat, and More

by Rainier on Jan. 7, 2021 @ 10:50 a.m. PST

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.

This week, GTA Online players can hit the streets of Southern San Andreas with a fresh new ride, the iconic BF Weevil, while a new batch of rewards, bonuses and discounts are now available, including:

  • Triple GTA$ & RP in Motor Wars and all Rockstar Created Air Races
  • Double GTA$ & RP in Smuggler Sell Missions
  • A free Güffy Double Logo Hat for playing this week
  • A Bigness Faces Sweater for stealing contraband from a Secondary Target in the Cayo Perico Heist finale
  • The Enus Paragon R sportscar is this week’s top prize at the Lucky Wheel
  • Vehicle Discounts: 25% off the RO-86 Alkanost and the Annihilator (Stealth), plus 40% off the Buckingham Valkyrie, Nagasaki Havok, Grotti Visione, and the Coil Cyclone
  • 30% off Hangars, their Customizations & Add-Ons
  • Final week of Cayo Perico Heist Bonuses: The Manor Tie-dye Tee for completing a Scoping Mission, the Rockstar Gray Pattern Tee for completing a Prep Mission, and the Panther Tour Jacket for players who complete the Heist finale, as well as the Panther Varsity Jacket for those who participated in the November Heist Challenge
  • Prime Gaming Bonuses: Players who connect their Social Club account with Prime Gaming will get the Kosatka submarine’s Sonar Station for free, plus a GTA$200K bonus for playing any time this week
  • Prime Gaming Discounts: 35% off the Kurtz 31 Patrol Boat and the Shitzu Longfin
  • And a brand-new vehicle: The BF Weevil, now available to purchase at Southern San Andreas Super Autos

The BF Weevil: An Automotive and Countercultural Icon

The BF Weevil was once a marvel of midcentury design and economic efficiency, but like a venture capitalist shedding their two-piece suit for a set of prayer beads and tie-dye, the Weevil has since become a symbol of free love and other high-minded ideals. Whether you’re using it to move your cult up into the foothills of the Tataviam Mountains or schlepping your red-eyed pals down to a party at Vespucci Beach, the Weevil can help get you there.

3X GTA$ and RP in Motor Wars

Earn Triple Rewards this week as you parachute into the shrinking kill-zone of Motor Wars with nothing but a sidearm to your name. Work together with your teammates to find a vehicle and some substantial weaponry, then blow your foes away to make it out as the last team alive.

2X GTA$ and RP on Smuggler Sell Missions

It’s dangerous to let contraband sit dormant in your Warehouses, but it’s also financially irresponsible, especially when Smuggler Sell Missions are paying back 2X GTA$ & RP this week. Load up and move your stock across the map, but stay frosty, lest marauders try to intercept your delivery.

3X GTA$ & RP in Air Races

Hop behind the controls of any number of airborne vehicles and maneuver betwixt the skyscrapers of Downtown Los Santos and the peaks and valleys of Blaine County in any and all Rockstar Created Air Races, which are dishing out triple the usual prize purse through January 13th.

Special Bonuses

Everyone who plays GTA Online this week will receive the limited-edition Güffy Double Logo Hat, free of charge.

Should you manage to find and steal contraband from a Secondary Target – be it cash, gold, drugs or art – during the Cayo Perico Heist finale, you will receive the bright and brash Bigness Faces Sweater as an added bonus on top of the boost to your bottom line.

This is also the final week to get in and collect:

  • The Manor Tie-dye Tee for completing a Cayo Perico Scoping Mission
  • The Rockstar Grey Pattern Tee for completing a Cayo Perico Prep Mission
  • The Panther Tour Jacket for completing the Cayo Perico Heist Finale
  • The Panther Varsity Jacket – awarded as a badge of honor to those who participated in the November Heist Challenge

On the Podium This Week: Enus Paragon R

As soon as you get back to the mainland and wash the sand out of your hair, swing by The Diamond Casino & Resort and give the Lucky Wheel a spin for the opportunity to walk away with GTA$, RP, clothing and a range of mystery items. This week’s top prize is the Enus Paragon R, a suave sportscar that embodies the refinement of an elder statesman with the muscle of a young warlord.
