Rockstar Games is a benevolent overlord this week. Joining the new car being added to the game, and the usual selection of discounts, we are getting one of the absolute best double GTA$ and RP promotion possible. Alongside all this we get another login reward t-shirt to unlock in Grand Theft Auto Online.
If you have plenty of money to toss out, or will have plenty of money to toss out after you make use of this week's reward bonus, the game's newest car may be worth blowing all of it on. The Principe Deveste Eight is a throwback to the previous year of GTA Online when every other weekly car was a hyper-expensive hypercar. This concept vehicle that couldn't possibly be street legal will set you back GTA$ 1,795,000.
What does that much cash get you? A car that is second only to the 811 in terms of top speed, but comes with handling flags and turns funny. If you get a feel for the car, then racing with it will absolutely become viable, but most players won't find the handling comfortable. With this kind of price tag, only diehard car collectors or folk who like this sort of aesthetic will jump on the bandwagon.
If you log into the game anytime this week, you'll also get a Principe logo t-shirt matching your new car.
However, once you see what this week's double rewards promotions are, you'll suddenly think that price isn't too bad after all. Not only are all Arena War modes paying out double RP and GTA$, but you'll also be raking in 2x rewards from all Doomsday Heist finales. The Data Breaches, The Bogdan Problem and The Doomsday Scenario all doubled their payout, and with the relatively new Republican Space Ranger weapons, completing them is easier than ever. If any single week is best to get rich, this is it.
In terms of discounts, facilities and their renovations are 30% in case you don't yet have access to The Doomsday Heist content but want to reap the rewards of the bonus. Hangars are also 40% allowing you to hop into the smuggling business with a lower initial investment. A wide range of vehicles, primarily those featured in The Doomsday Heist are also 30% off.
Keep in mind that this weekend will be the last in February, meaning the last which grants you a free GTA$ 250,000 bonus simply for logging in. If you have been playing GTA Online diligently all month, you'll have accrued a total of GTA$ 1,000,000 in free cash — which still isn't enough to buy a Deveste Eight.
