Los Santos feels unusually generous this week, and if you're trying to build up your bankroll, it's hard to ignore what's going on. The headline bonus is the 10x payout on Smoke on the Water Legal Work, which is the sort of multiplier players usually talk about for months after it's gone. If you've been short on GTA 5 Money, this is the kind of event that can change that in a hurry. Even better, the Smoke on the Water Money Front is half price right now, so getting into the business doesn't sting nearly as much as it normally does. For anyone who likes mixing steady profit with low setup costs, this is probably the first thing worth sorting out.

Easy business money this week

After that, the next big earner is sitting with MC players. Counterfeit Cash sell missions are paying 2x GTA$ and RP, which makes those runs a lot more appealing than usual. If your factory still isn't fully upgraded, this is a good week to fix that, because Counterfeit Cash Factories and every upgrade tied to them are discounted by 40%. That's a solid saving, especially if you've been putting upgrades off. Weed farmers aren't left out either. Street Dealers are paying double for Weed sales, so if you've got product ready to move, now's the moment. A lot of players forget how much passive cash adds up when several businesses are running together, but this week really rewards staying on top of stock and sell timing.

Cars, races and casino rewards

There's also plenty going on if making money isn't the only thing on your list. The Diamond Casino podium vehicle is now the Vulcar Warrener HKR, a strange little truck in the best possible way. It's not the fastest thing in the city, but free is free, and one spin could sort that out. Over at the LS Car Meet, the Prize Ride is the Truffade Adder, which still has that old-school supercar appeal. To unlock it, you need to finish in the Top 2 in the LS Car Meet Series for three straight days. It's not impossible, but you do need to keep showing up. On top of that, the Community Race Series is paying 2x GTA$ and RP, so it's a nice excuse to try tracks you probably would've skipped on a normal week.

Bonus tasks and Gun Van picks

If you want something a bit different, there's a weekly challenge tied to Hunting Pack (Get Lamar). Win it twice and you'll collect a $100,000 bonus along with the Guffy Drug Rug Hoodie. It's one of those modes that can get messy fast, but that's part of the fun. Teamwork matters, sure, though a little chaos usually decides the round. The Gun Van is worth checking too. Everyone can grab a free Baseball Bat, while the Battle Rifle is discounted by 50%. GTA+ members get the better end of the deal again, with a free Stun Gun and 70% off body armor, which is honestly a pretty useful pickup if you've been burning through armour in freemode fights.

Discounted rides worth a look

There are also several vehicle discounts that make sense if this week's bonuses leave you with extra cash. A bunch of cars and specialty vehicles are 30% off, including the Enus Deity, Lampadati Corsita, HVY Menacer, Kraken Avisa, Progen Itali GTB, Vapid GB200, Classique Broadway, Annis Hellion, Vapid Peyote Gasser, Obey 8F Drafter, and the Grotti Cheetah. Some are practical, some are just for style, but that's kind of the point in GTA Online. When a week hands out this much money, most players end up treating themselves a little, and picking up cheap GTA 5 Money alternatives isn't the only way to leave the update feeling ahead.
