There are a lot of ways to make money in Los Santos. This week, in GTA Online , everyone is invited to try out a side hustle and experience the gig economy. Check out the Taxi (Service), now available for purchase at the Warstock Cache & Carry. Once you have this, you can then launch Taxi Work via your own Pegasus vehicle and at your own leisure.

To start Taxi Work, simply head over to the Downtown Cab Co. depot located in East Vinewood on the corner of Tangerine Street and Mirror Park Boulevard. Once there, you're going to need to buy your own cab. If you don't have the money, it's still possible to launch Taxi Work by showing up for duty. Then, you'll need to finish 10 Taxi Work jobs in a row and earn the Taxi Star Award to unlock the Trade Price for the new taxi.

Meanwhile, for Veteran Arena Warriors who managed to reach Sponsorship Tier 25, they can use their special red version of the taxi to complete fares.

Celebrate the Lunar New Year

Join the fun and celebrate Lunar New Year with the Traditional Painted Rabbit mask and Rabbit tattoo chest piece, available to all players who log in to the game this week. In addition, those who log in this week could also get a bonus GTA$188,888.

For those who want to show off the fact that they're joining the celebration, tattooists around Southern San Andreas are offering limited-time Lunar New Year tattoos. This offering is available until January 25.

Get Cooking

For those who haven't yet started the First Dose of Los Santos Drug Wars, there's good news. The MTL Brickade 6x6, which also comes with a Maibatsu Manchez Scout C motorcycle, can now be purchased directly at the Warstock Cache & Carry. If you're one of those who don't want to spend anything, just steal one as part of the First Dose story missions.

Once you get this fully functional mobile laboratory, you can immediately start tooling it up for acid production and add an intoxicating new hallucinatory asset to the drug business portfolio of the Fooliganz.

The Gun Van

Last week, the Gun Van was introduced which allowed players to buy from a rotating selection of weapons and ammo, offered at prices lower than those at Ammu-Nation and doesn't come with any rank restrictions. This week, the weapons available are:

  • Railgun
  • Heavy Rifle (25% off)
  • Heavy Revolver
  • Pump Shotgun
  • Advanced Rifle
  • Up-n-Atomizer (40% off for GTA+ Members)
  • Baseball Bat
  • Knife
  • Knuckle Duster
  • Molotovs
  • Pipe Bombs
  • Tear Gas

You can check out what else is happening this week. GTA Online is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
