GTA Online's 'Money Fronts' is Live: Go Legit (to Stay a Criminal)

What's interesting, though, is that the more you launder money, the more "Heat" you generate from law enforcement. Your businesses will start flashing warning signals on the map, forcing you to actually run legitimate operations to cool things down. Suddenly, you'll find yourself genuinely washing cars, delivering organic products, and conducting helicopter tours. Not because you have to, but because your criminal empire depends on it.

It's a really brilliant gameplay loop that makes players think like actual criminals. Too much illegal activity draws unwanted attention, so you need to balance your books with legitimate work. Who would have thought that money laundering could be so wholesome?

Fortunately, the update doesn't forget GTA's core appeal: awesome whips. The Överflöd Suzume supercar leads the pack and is now available early for GTA+ members. The Karin Woodlander SUV brings rustic vibes, while the Karin Everon RS SUV is specifically designed for players who want to be as obnoxious as possible.

Meanwhile, if you have an authority complex, the Western Police Bike lets you play out vigilante fantasies in Dispatch Work missions, complete with a Highway Patrol outfit.

Money Fronts is clearly a mature evolution for GTA Online. Instead of just robbing banks and stealing cars, players can now build sustainable criminal businesses with legitimate covers. It's organized crime for the modern age, where the real money isn't in the heist but the cleanup afterward.

With promises of more vehicles, Independence Day events, and even Halloween celebrations on the horizon, Rockstar Games is putting a lot of effort into ensuring you can grow your criminal business empire. Now, it's up to you to be smart enough to make it look legal.
