Over the years, *GTA Online* has expanded significantly, particularly with the introduction of free downloadable content (DLCs) that enhance the gameplay experience. Players are now presented with an impressive range of options for generating income in the game. Additionally, Rockstar Games frequently offers bonuses for specific jobs and activities, injecting excitement and opportunity into the money-making process weekly.
To help players optimize their earnings, we have compiled an essential guide highlighting the top five methods for generating revenue in *GTA Online*, valid until 2:00 AM PT on April 24, 2025. Let’s dive into these lucrative opportunities.
Top 5 Money-Making Methods in GTA Online (April 18 – 24, 2025)
5) Hunting Pack (Get Lamar)
Introduced on April 17, 2025, the *Hunting Pack (Get Lamar)* mode allows 4 to 8 players to engage in an exciting adversarial match. Participants are organized into three teams: the Ballas, the Families, and a solo player, Lamar Davis. Lamar’s goal is to reach a buyer’s location while being protected by the Families, who must fend off the Ballas.
Although the base payout is relatively modest, capped at $20,000, players can benefit from double rewards this week due to the *GTA Online 420 update*. Additionally, winning two rounds in this mode grants a bonus of $100,000, making it a worthwhile endeavor through April 23, 2025.
4) Street Dealer Sales
Learn More About Street Dealer Sales
Street Dealers serve as NPCs ready to buy various products, including Weed, Cocaine, Meth, and Acid. Players must own the respective businesses and have excess product available to engage with these dealers. Each dealer has a preferred item, leading to higher payouts for specific goods.
Thanks to this week’s *GTA Online* update, payouts from Street Dealers have also been doubled. This enables players to potentially earn more through this avenue, especially those managing multiple businesses.
3) Weed Farm Sales
The Weed Farm, one of the five MC businesses available, may not be the highest earner, but it still provides a solid income stream. This week, players can earn triple the usual payout for selling marijuana through the business’s Sell Missions, making it an opportune time to focus on this venture.
Additionally, there’s a 50% discount on all Weed Farm properties and optional upgrades. For new investors, this is an excellent opportunity, particularly since a 30% discount is also available on MC Clubhouse purchases.
2) Oscar Guzman Flies Again
To participate, players must own the McKenzie Field Hangar, which requires no additional investment beyond the hangar’s purchase price.
