Rockstar Doubles Rewards on Select GTA Online Activities

Rockstar Games released the summer Bottom Dollar Bounties update for Grand Theft Auto Online on June 25, bringing a variant of the canceled Cops 'n' Crooks DLC to the game. As usual, this update also brought more content and changes into the game, like higher bonuses for specific missions, while also synchronizing the reset times of several activities.

Rockstar Games announced that the payout increases were coming, and for which missions, when revealing Bottom Dollar Bounties. The following GTA Online missions now give out 50% more GTA$ as a reward: Gerald's Last Play, Project Overthrow, Casino Story, Madazo Dispatch Services, Premium Deluxe Repo Work, and Open Wheel Races.

@TezFunz2 on X has collected these with hard numbers, breaking down the payouts with a hand spreadsheet showing completion time brackets as well as difficulty levels, since all of these factors change how much GTA$ you get at the end of it all.

Meanwhile, players now earn double the usual payouts from completing A Superyacht Life and Operation Paper Trail Contact Missions. Lamar's Lowrider Missions are also giving away double the mission payouts now, letting players earn up to GTA$375,000 an hour after spending just 6 minutes, which isn't half bad.

However, the most significant jump in GTA Online rewards is Taxi Work. Players now stand to earn roughly GTA$40,000 from 10 fares, more than double the previous reward of GTA$16,000. Here's a recap of the increased GTA Online rewards in list form if you prefer it that way:

  • Taxi Work — 150% more GTA$
  • Lamar's Lowrider Missions — 100% more GTA$
  • A Superyacht Life — 100% more GTA$
  • Operation Paper Trail — 100% more GTA$
  • Gerald's Last Play — 50% more GTA$
  • Project Overthrow — 50% more GTA$
  • Casino Story — 50% more GTA$
  • MAdazo Dispatch Services - 50% more GTA$
  • Premium Deluxe Repo Work — 50% more GTA$
  • Open Wheel Races — 50% more GTA$

These aren't the only changes the Bottom Dollar Bounties Update brought to GTA Online though. According to PLTytus, Rockstar has also synchronized all the daily activities. This means they now reset at the same time (06:00 UTC).

Converted to other popular time zones, this would mean all except for one reset at 2:00 AM (EST), 1:00 AM (CST), 12:00 AM (MST), and 11:00 PM (PST). The outlier is the LS Car Meet prize ride which resets at midnight UTC.

There could be more changes brought by the summer GTA Online update coming over the next few weeks.

Alongside the improvements they do tell us about, Rockstar also continues to make subtle and unannounced improvements to GTA Online, but not every change has been welcome. Many are up in arms about a new quality-of-life feature that Rockstar has locked behind a paywall. A shift in censorship in GTA Online is also drawing plenty of backlash.
