'Grand Theft Auto Online' Adds Karin Sultan RS Classic, Shipwrecks, 2X GTA$ & RP On Auto Shop Client Jobs And More

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.

The Karin Sultan RS Classic, the latest car from GTA Online’s Los Santos Tuners, moves from the Test Track to Southern San Andreas Super Autos this week, debuting alongside several auto-themed double rewards such as on Auto Shop Client Jobs and select Stunt Races.

This week’s update also introduces Shipwrecks, a set of new Daily Collectibles washed up ashore for players to find, seven of which contain scraps of clothing. These scraps of clothing can be combined to form an outfit from a bygone era.  

Further highlights from today’s update include:

  • Tripled salaries for Bodyguards and Associates
  • Annis Euros is this week’s Prize Ride at the LS Car Meet
  • New Test Rides: The unreleased Übermacht Cypher is now available for a test drive at the LS Car Meet, alongside the new Karin Sultan RS Classic and the Obey Tailgater S

The Karin Sultan RS Classic Arrives

When you are mid-way through a rally and clenching, ask yourself, what do you need to reach the finish? A car that’s reliable, controllable, safe, and robust? Or a car that’s an overclocked mod machine with more personality than sense? Why not both?

Enter the Karin Sultan RS Classic, available now from Southern San Andreas Super Autos.

Shipwreck on the Shores

Treasure hunters and tourists are reporting sightings of a wooden boat washed up on the waterfront. The wreck is said to contain treasure and scraps of clothing, seven of which can be combined to form an outfit from a previous era. Each day, the wreck’s whereabouts will be subject to the tides. Should you spot it out on your travels, make sure to check for a chest filled with bounty.

Only one Shipwreck can be found per day — you can track whether you’ve found today’s Shipwreck via the Daily Collectibles section of the Interaction Menu.

2X GTA$ and RP on Auto Shop Client Jobs

An Auto Shop is more than a front for planning shakedowns with your crew – it is also a legitimate business with a buzzing clientele. Sessanta will get in contact with you when customers pull up with their cars. It’s then up to you to modify them to their specifications and deliver the finished product. Completing any Auto Shop Client Jobs this week will pay back Double Rewards, all week long.

2X GTA$ and RP on Lester Contact Missions

Buzz, buzz. Give Lester Crest a call on your iFruit this week to request a Job. All Lester Contact Missions are all doling out 2X GTA$ and RP.

Rev Your Engines: 2X GTA$ and RP on Select Stunt Races

Adrenaline is a wonderful thing. Get your heart pumping by jumping over your competition, whether that’s behind the wheel of a Trophy Truck or jostling for position above the La Puerta Freeway.

Racers can take home 2X GTA$ and RP on all the new Stunt Races released this year, namely: Sun, Sea and Chicanes, A Tight Spot, Bridge Too Far, Cluster Struck, Vicious Spiral, Canyon Fodder, Smoke Up Your Asphalt, and City Limits.

Tripled Salaries for Bodyguards and Associates

It’s brutal out there. The 1% needs protection, too. Luckily, sheltering the elite is a career track all its own. This week, all Bodyguards and Associates’ salaries are tripled for laying down life and limb in the line of duty. Trickle-down economics in action.

Car Meet Prize Ride and Challenge

LS Car Meet members who place in the Top 2 in the Pursuit Series for 4 days in a row will receive an Annis Euros to tune up as you see fit.

Test Out New and Unreleased Cars on the Test Track

There’s nothing wrong with trying something on for size. You’d do it with a pair of pants at Binco, so why wouldn’t you do the same with a car? Stop by the Car Meet’s Test Track and rev the engine of the new Karin Sultan RS Classic, the upcoming Übermacht Cypher, and the Obey Tailgater S, at no cost to you – even if you scrape a little paint during a Time Trial or a Scramble.

This Week on the Podium: The Vapid GB200

Stop by the lobby of the Diamond Casino & Resort any time this week to give the Lucky Wheel a spin. Who knows, you could walk away with GTA$, RP, snacks, clothing, not to mention a Vapid GB200, a no-frills, two-door rally-car that harkens back to an era of reckless abandon.
