📝 GTA Online Weekly Update: Overview & Strategy
This week in Los Santos, Franklin Clinton is putting the Agency’s resources to work with a massive focus on professional hits and high-speed precision. The spotlight shines on “Old School Hits,” the inaugural featured entry in the Community Mission Series, offering a nostalgic yet brutal take on classic contract work. For players looking to maximize their hourly profit, this is an “Agency Week”—the 3X boost on Payphone Hits makes these short, 5-minute tasks the most lucrative activities in the game, easily outperforming standard heist setups when cycled correctly.
Beyond the contract work, the racing scene is heating up with triple rewards on Open Wheel Races. If you have a steady hand and a custom Progen PR4 or Benefactor BR8, the payouts here are substantial. To maximize your efficiency, alternate between a Payphone Hit and an Open Wheel Race or Time Trial; this bypasses the cooldown timer for Franklin’s assignments and keeps the GTA$ flowing. Don’t forget to stop by a Vehicle Workshop to check out the new aesthetic additions before the Thursday reset.

- Call Franklin: Use your in-game phone to call Franklin Clinton and select “Request Payphone Hit” to start the 3X payout missions.
- Hit the Track: Locate the Open Wheel Series icon on your map or join via the Quick Join menu on your phone for 3X rewards.
- Visit Madrazo: Check your texts for contact missions from Martin Madrazo to engage in “Madrazo Hits” for double cash and RP.
- HelixPedia Pro-Tip: When performing Payphone Hits, always aim for the “Assassination Bonus” objective; with the 3X multiplier active, the bonus alone pays out more than most standard contact missions combined.
