New in GTA Online: Money Laundering, Police Motorcycle, and More

Undercover Business

Martin Madrazo introduces us to Mr. Faber, a banker through whom all financial flows in Los Santos pass. His assistant, Raf De Angelis, will become ours and help us build a money laundering network.

The entry point into the world of legal earnings hiding illegal operations is the Hands On car wash in Strawberry, priced at 1 million. It’s beneficial because it increases profits from selling counterfeit banknotes by 35%. Owning other businesses will further boost profits. Access to missions offering both honest and criminal ways of enrichment is also provided. In this case, car washes on order and a series of events aimed at obtaining cash. But focusing exclusively on the latter increases suspicion. At the highest level, cash flow stops. Balance is essential.

After the car wash, expand the network by purchasing the Higgins Helitours in Puerto Del Sol near the yacht club for 900,000. Officially, for showing tourists the city from above. Unofficially, to increase air freight revenue by 10%, transport valuable cargo, and seize it from smugglers. Additionally, it serves as an extra location for calling personal aircraft, Pegasus vehicles, or the corporate Higgins Maverick.

And with the purchase of the Smoke on the Water store (story mode belonged to Franklin) in Vespucci Beach for 850k. Special perks: increases profits from cannabis sales by 35% and allows finding a new type of collectibles — Smoke on the Water products. Find 10 cannabis packets daily in 30 potential locations for GTA$, RP, and branded merchandise (T-shirt).

There’s a third type of work — missions for Mr. Faber. These are 6 missions where you solve problems for clients. Activated via a laptop at any of the above businesses or via a phone call through Raf. They attract law enforcement attention.

A side job is offered by the QuickiPharm “pharmacy,” ensuring fast transportation of medications. Visit six different locations (usually hospitals and clinics), and after five, receive a unique livery.

Progress in these endeavors is reflected in 16 new platinum awards and another section in “Career Progress.”

Developers promise that in a week, along with the new work for valuable cargo delivery in Gruppe Sechs and Bobcat Security companies, six more vehicles will become available. It is unknown which ones, but it is assumed that three are the ones currently needing pre-payment for test drives.

Note the arrival of the Western Police Bike for (3,720,000 — 4,960,000 GTA$), suitable for law enforcement missions. For a limited time, purchasing the police bike comes with a summer patrol police uniform.

Now an additional 50 (the first half were added in December) vehicles in the agency and the Vinewood Car Club garage can install the GSN jammer. 26 of them returned to websites after being removed two years ago.
