After a turbulent week in GTA Online, Rockstar is releasing a new weekly update to refresh the podium vehicle, hand out some big bonuses and discounts, and give away from free rewards just for logging in.
Hopefully, these log-in rewards will go smoother than the last, when players who wanted to get the free GTA$500,000 for logging in April suddenly realized they could get it infinitely.
Then, this same bug seemed to cause a major problem, as players’ properties were being wiped from their game, even for those who hadn’t received the $500,000 bonus at all.
This week, there are three free bonuses just for logging in, although they’re nowhere near as valuable as the $500k gift.
Rockstar have now released the full patch notes, confirming what reliable leaker Tez2 already revealed. Here’s everything in the April 16 GTA Online update.
GTA Online update: April 16
New Podium vehicle: Pariah
With your one free Lucky Wheel spin a day, you’ll have the chance to pick up the Ocelot Pariah, which would typically set you back $1.42 million from Legendary Motorsport.
Although it doesn’t have an exact real-life replica, the Pariah is a mix of a Ferrari and an Aston Martin, and is easily one of the best-looking sports cars in the game.
Free log-in rewards
