To celebrate the Independence Day weekend, Rockstar has launched a brand-new special event for GTA Online. The event will be live throughout the long weekend and into next week (ending July 7th) and features a whole host of bonus rewards and store discounts.
The GTA Online Independence Day Event
“Ah, the rocket’s red glare,” writes Rockstar; “The bombs bursting in air. The aroma of singed hot dogs mingling with gunpowder. Independence Day is in full swing around Los Santos and Blaine County this week.”
The first bonus players can look forward to in this event is double rewards for all Hidden Caches and Treasure Chests. These can be found undersea around Los Santos as well as around the island of Cayo Perico. To make them easier to find, the Kosatka submarine is currently 25% off, including its various custom options. This vehicle is the ideal tool to help you track down these stashes of GTA$ and RP. The other big bonus this week is triple rewards for both Stockpile and all Mobile Operation Missions.
When it comes to discounts, players can get 50% off Independence Day items. These include the Vapid Liberator, Western Sovereign, certain car horns, the Musket, Fireworks Launcher (and ammo), Tire/Parachute Smoke, certain items of Clothing and Facepaint, Liveries for the Mobile Operations Centre, the Mk II Weapon Livery, several Haircuts, Masks, and the Patriot Parachute. The USA parachute bag is also free during this event.
