Another week, another GTA Online event offering discounts, a double RP and cash promo and a new premium race. While Rockstar has whetted our appetite with their official confirmation of the long-awaited Bikers DLC, they chose not to share a release date with us, leaving players anxiously chewing off their nails while feverishly hitting F5 with the Newswire open every ten minutes or so.
Well, we might be exaggerating there a bit, but players are anticipating the launch of Bikers nonetheless. However, chances of said launch coming to pass in September are slim, so we have to make do with the knowledge that it's coming. In the meantime, Rockstar is trying to feed a den of several million hungry lions with a single malnourished chicken by kicking off yet another GTA Online bonuses week.
Nothing in the promotions active between the 23rd and 29th of September have anything to do with bikes. At all. So resign yourselves to the fate of waiting for Bikers, and make the most of what you can with this event — which is actually a very solid lineup of GTA Online promotions.
Instead of just slapping the double RP and cash bonus onto some Adversary Mode this week (though that still applies), Rockstar chose to grace some of the best and most popular missions in Online with the promo: Lamar's Contact Missions. Contact Missions in GTA Online are what actually give the massively multiplayer experience its story and narrative. For a long time, players have been calling for new contact missions to be added via DLC. Maybe in Bikers?
Either way, Lamar's Lowrider missions, added in the DLC of the same name way back when, will be rewarding players with twice as much dough and renown than usual. Joining the Contact Missions are the obligatory Adversary Modes — all maps of Entourage also have the same bonus applied to them.
