GTA Online Weekly Update (July 30 – August 5, 2026): All Bonuses, Discounts, Podium Car, and the Summer Heist Event

The Thursday reset is live, and this week opens the Summer Heist Event in GTA Online, the first of a multi-week run built around the game's classic heists. That means double money on two of the original Apartment Heist finales, a triple-money job, a fresh podium car, a free vehicle, and a long list of discounts. Here is the full breakdown for the week of July 30 to August 5, 2026.

This week's money makers (2X and 3X)

The bonuses are pointed squarely at heists this week, which makes it a good one to run finales:

• 3X GTA$ and RP: the Community Series. The rotating community-made job playlist pays triple this week, the single best RP rate on the board.
• 2X GTA$ (first weekly completion): The Fleeca Job finale. Your first Fleeca finale of the week pays double.
• 2X GTA$ (first weekly completion): The Pacific Standard Job finale. Same deal on the hardest of the original heists.
• 2X GTA$ and RP: A Superyacht Life missions.
• 2X GTA$ and RP: Motor Wars.
• 2X GTA$ and RP: Shipwrecks.

On top of that, weekly completion bonuses have reset, so first-time payouts on select heists and contact missions are boosted this week. That reset is part of the post-Title Update 1.73 first-completion system, so timing a fresh finale to the Thursday reset is exactly how you squeeze the most out of it.

Podium car and prize ride

• Podium vehicle (Diamond Casino Lucky Wheel): Übermacht Cypher. A sport hatchback worth GTA$1,550,000 at Legendary Motorsport, so a free spin win is a real GTA$1.55M swing. There is also a nice tie-in: finishing The Fleeca Job finale this week awards the Fleeca Circuit livery for the Cypher, delivered within 72 hours.
• LS Car Meet prize ride: Karin Boor. To unlock it, place in the top 5 of the LS Car Meet Series race for four days in a row. The Boor is worth GTA$1,280,000 if bought outright, so four days of racing saves you a chunk.

Free vehicle and featured test ride

• Free Salvage Yard vehicle: Pfister Comet S2 Cabrio. Claim it through the Gangbanger Robbery Salvage Yard job this week.
• Featured Hao's Special Works test ride: Överflöd Entity MT. The upgraded HSW hypercar (around GTA$2.35M) is the premium test ride, worth a lap even if you are not buying.

Discounts worth grabbing

Some genuinely useful markdowns this week, led by one of the best business bundles in the game:

• Paleto Bay businesses and properties: 60% off. The standout. Bunkers, clubhouses, the facility and more in the cheapest region get their steepest cut.
• High-End Apartments: 40% off. The classic entry point for the Apartment Heists that are paying double this week.
• Galaxy Super Yacht (and modifications): 60% off.
• Karin Kuruma (Armored and Standard): 60% off. The Armored Kuruma is still the best cheap protection for heist prep.
• Benny's Original Motor Works conversions and upgrades: 40% off.
• Select vehicles: 30% off.
• Gun Van: Service Carbine 40% off, Railgun 30% off (GTA+ members).

The bottom line

This is a heist-forward week, so the value plays are clear: run your first Fleeca and Pacific Standard finales for the 2X first-completion bonus, farm the Community Series for 3X RP, and grab the free Comet S2 Cabrio from the Salvage Yard. If you are buying, Paleto Bay at 60% off is the headline deal, and the Armored Kuruma at 60% is an easy yes for future heist prep.
