Rockstar Games has kicked off Lunar New Year celebrations in Grand Theft Auto Online with the release of the Grotti Itali Classic, a sleek sports car from the '80s now available at Legendary Motorsport. Players can equip it with Imani Tech's Missile Lock-On Jammer through their Agency's Vehicle Workshop or through the Mansion Vehicle Workshop if they subscribe to GTA+.
The main event is The Senora Derby, a new stunt race designed for sports vehicles across the Grand Senora Desert. Running through February 18, this race and other Lunar New Year stunt races pay 3X GTA$ and RP, with GTA+ members earning six times the usual rewards. Players who log in before March 4 get a free Red Year of the Horse Tee, plus complimentary horse-themed tattoos and masks from shops around Los Santos.
Thirty-six Yuanbao collectibles are scattered throughout the city, each paying out cash and RP. Collecting all of them unlocks a special bonus.
The Cayo Perico Heist got more interesting this week with increased odds of finding the Pink Diamond in El Rubio's compound through February 18. Meanwhile, VIP and CEO work pays 4X GTA$ and RP, with the same boost applying to Associate and Bodyguard salaries. Executive Offices and their upgrades are discounted by 40%. Players who earn GTA$100,000 as an Associate or Bodyguard complete the Weekly Challenge, earning an extra GTA$100,000 and the Valentines Blazer.
Valentine's Day content has also returned alongside Lunar New Year celebrations. The Gun Van is handing out free Gusenberg Sweepers through February 18, and all nightclub bars are serving complimentary champagne. Players who log in receive a free Valentines Onesie, and Valentine's clothing is half off. The Albany Roosevelt and Roosevelt Valor sports classics both returned with new Missile Lock-On Jammer capabilities, and special Valentine's-themed versions are on display at the Luxury Autos showroom.
