Taxi job bonuses, Motor Wars double rewards and everything else in Grand Theft Auto Online this week

It’s going to be non-stop fun the next few days in the world of Grand Theft Auto Online. Whether you want to channel those throwback Crazy Taxi vibes or need to go all-out on those shoot ‘em up adventures, it’s jam-packed updates for the next week.

This Week in Grand Theft Auto Online is loaded with fun

Normally around this time there would be a nice summary but because of the magnitude of updates, it’s vital to get into the nitty gritty. Full-fledged details on what’s brewing for all you ride or die gamers coming courtesy of the amazing Rockstar Games PR team.

The New Weeny Issi Rally, Available For a Limited Time

Get Rare Rewards for Completing Taxi Fares, Double GTA$ and RP in Motor Wars, and More

When you hear Weeny made a sports SUV, what do you picture? Is it school runs, work commutes, and a trunk packed up for a hiking trip? Or is it racetracks, barrel rolls, and the crowd losing its mind as the fuel tank ignites? If you answered the latter, congratulations — you’re ready for the responsibility of owning this powerful ode to British engineering. 

Pick up the Weeny Issi Rally at the Southern San Andreas Super Autos website on your iFruit or at the Luxury Autos showroom across from Record A Studios. This undersized but thoroughly capable SUV is also HSW-upgradeable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S to unleash its full potential. 

Both the Weeny Issi Rally and its HSW Upgrade will be available through February 1. 

Taxi Work Rewards

Few understand the veins and arteries of a city quite like its taxi drivers, and Los Santos is no different. Determined cabbies get 2X GTA$ on Taxi Job Tips this week, and through February 8 can earn rare items for safely ferrying their clientele (clothing rewards will be delivered to your wardrobe by February 17, GTA$ rewards will be delivered within 72 hours of completion):

The First Dose Hard Mode Event enters its penultimate week — join up with Dax and the Fooliganz to earn some rare items as they claw their way back into the thick of Southern San Andreas’ psychedelic market.

Premium Test Ride: Weeny Issi Rally
When Hao and his team of obsessives at Hao’s Special Works heard that Weeny was working on a tiny, offroad-ready vehicle, they could barely control themselves. It seems inevitable that they would turn the stock pipsqueak into the tiniest speed demon imaginable. Visit the team at HSW to turn your Weeny Issi Rally (SUV) into a formidable contender anytime before February 2.

This Week’s HSW Time Trial
Once the upgrades have all been installed and the engineers return your keys, line up for this week’s HSW Time Trial between Ron Alternates and Elysian Island to see how that extra horsepower fares on the open road.

2X GTA$ and RP on Motor Wars

Looking for an adrenaline rush?
