Rockstar Games is offering double rewards on the new Arms Trafficking Missions in Grand Theft Auto V's Online mode through March 19, 2024. Players can earn 2X GTA$ and RP while intercepting deliveries from rival arms-runners and completing various mission types. Additionally, the Mammoth F-160 Raiju plane is available at a 20% discount during this period.
Double Rewards on Arms Trafficking Missions
The criminal underworld of Los Santos is buzzing with opportunity as Grand Theft Auto V's Online mode introduces lucrative incentives for arms dealers. As part of the "Oscar Guzman Flies Again" update, players can now earn double rewards (2X GTA$ and RP) on all Arms Trafficking Missions through March 19, 2024.
These missions require ownership of the McKenzie Field Hangar, which unlocks access to a variety of smuggling operations. Once purchased, players can launch missions either through the laptop inside the McKenzie Field Office or by simply calling Oscar for work assignments.
Weekly Challenge: Extra Rewards for Dedicated Smugglers
Beyond the doubled mission payouts, Rockstar is offering additional incentives for consistent participation. Players who complete five Arms Trafficking Missions will fulfill the Weekly Challenge, earning them the exclusive Buckingham Tee along with a bonus GTA$100,000.
This limited-time event represents a significant opportunity for players looking to boost their in-game finances while expanding their involvement in Los Santos' thriving black market operations.
What Types of Arms Trafficking Missions Are Available?
The update introduces four distinct mission types, each with unique gameplay mechanics and challenges:
- Cargobob Recover: Players must protect their Cargobob helicopter from taking excessive damage to avoid dropping valuable cargo.
- Plane Steal: Pilots need to build sufficient speed before attempting takeoff in the Duster 300-H. Returning the aircraft to Oscar after completing deliveries yields additional cash bonuses.
- Ratel Run: This mission type restricts shipment collection to the Ratel vehicle exclusively.
- Rival Destroy: Players must plan efficient routes to intercept both moving and stationary transports while remaining alert for potential ambushes. Oscar provides a Dune FAV for this mission type.
Mammoth F-160 Raiju: 20% Discount on Premium Aircraft
For Grand Theft Auto V Online pilots looking to expand their air fleet, the Mammoth F-160 Raiju plane is available at a 20% discount through March 19, 2024. This versatile aircraft features vertical takeoff capabilities and stealth technology, making it ideal for both transportation and combat scenarios.
The Raiju can be purchased through the Warstock Cache & Carry in-game website. Once acquired, players can store it in their Smuggler Hangar at either Fort Zancudo or Los Santos International Airport (LSIA).
Convenient Aircraft Delivery System
One of the most practical features of this update is the ability to request delivery of personal aircraft directly to the McKenzie Field Hangar runway. Players can access this functionality through the location's Personal Aircraft menu, eliminating the need to travel across the map to access their planes.
This quality-of-life improvement significantly streamlines the workflow for arms trafficking operations, allowing players to cycle between missions more efficiently.
Getting Started with Arms Trafficking
For players new to Grand Theft Auto V's arms dealing mechanics, the process begins with purchasing the McKenzie Field Hangar. While this represents an initial investment, the doubled rewards currently available make this an ideal time to enter the business.
The Arms Trafficking Missions blend aerial combat, strategic planning, and driving challenges into a diverse gameplay experience that leverages many of Grand Theft Auto V's core mechanics.
