'Grand Theft Auto Online' Adds New Robbery Contract, Emperor Vectre LS Tuners Car, Double Rewards And More

by Rainier on Aug. 12, 2021 @ 1:54 p.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.

GTA Online players in pursuit of a sizeable score can now take up the Lost Contract, a new multi-part Robbery targeting the illegal ventures of The Lost Motorcycle Club, playable solo or with up to three other players.

Also debuting this week is the Emperor Vectre, now available to purchase from Legendary Motorsport and to preview at the Test Track, alongside the Dinka Jester RR and unreleased Pfister Growler.

The New Emperor Vectre

Too extra for the classics? More over-the-top than underground? Forget trying to find that scrapyard bucket and make the only first impression that counts in the Emperor Vectre. Like a supermodel with a mean 100m sprint, the Vectre is a spectacle in every sense of the word.

Now available from Legendary Motorsport in GTA Online.

New Robbery: The Lost Contract

The Lost MC is sitting on a goldmine, and you’re entitled to your share. Take them down a couple of pegs by targeting their bustling methamphetamine empire for a sizable score. Gather some intel, steal a truck to haul your payload, and blow the whole operation to smithereens. Visit the Job Board in your Auto Shop to get cracking.

Last Chance: Car Meet Membership Bonuses

This week is your final chance to get the LS Customs Varsity Jacket for simply showing up to the LS Car Meet, while all LS Car Meet Members who reach Reputation Level 20 by August 18 will get a bonus to the tune of GTA$250K.

LS Car Meet Members with a knack for crafting slick escape routes will earn Double Rewards for outmaneuvering their fellow drivers and the LSPD as part of the Pursuit Series this week.

2X GTA$ and RP on Siege Mentality

Siege Mentality places a small team of defenders armed to the teeth against a determined group of attackers attempting to breach the holdout. Whatever side you’re on, both teams earn 2X GTA$ and RP for playing Siege Mentality this week.

Car Meet Prize Ride and Challenge

Car Meet Members who win 3 Sprints for 4 days in a row this week can drive away behind the wheel of the Karin Futo GTX. Swing by the Slamtruck at the meet to check out what you’re competing for and scope out the competition. Issue a Sprint challenge from the Interaction Menu while inside the LS Car Meet.

Test Out New and Unreleased Cars on the Test Track

Want to see how a new steering wheel feels in your hands? Why not give the unreleased Pfister Growler a trial run on the LS Car Meet’s Test Track, or put some dents in an Emperor Vectre before buying your own? The Dinka Jester RR is also available to try, free of charge. Just head over to the Test Rides in the LS Car Meet.
