Rockstar Games has just rolled out an exciting new update for GTA 5 Online, perfectly aligning with the festivities of April Fool’s Day in Los Santos. This annual tradition of humor and playful deception can be embraced within the game, as players gather a selection of the most intriguing offerings available. However, this unique opportunity extends only until 2:00 AM PT on April 3, 2025, so players should seize the moment to collect these goodies.
However, not every item in the 2025 update is deemed valuable. Here, we spotlight the five essential collectibles from the April Fool’s Day update of GTA 5 Online that players shouldn’t overlook.
Highlights of the GTA 5 Online April Fool’s Day Update 2025
1) Earn a $200,000 Bonus
As part of the weekly update, Rockstar is rewarding players with a bonus of $200,000. To secure this bonus, players must complete The Titan Job mission before the deadline of 2:00 AM PT on April 3, 2025.
For newcomers, The Titan Job is the concluding mission of the Oscar Guzman Flies Again storyline. It requires players to purchase the McKenzie Field Hangar and successfully finish all preparation missions. Featuring the new aircraft, the Titan 250D, this mission stands out, and a successful completion will grant players the bonus within a 72-hour timeframe.
2) Acquire the Banshee GTS
The recent Agents of Sabotage DLC introduced several new vehicles, among them the remarkable Bravado Banshee GTS. Renowned for its close resemblance to the fifth-generation SRT/Dodge Viper, the Banshee GTS is celebrated for its excellence in performance.
This vehicle boasts a stunning top speed of 172.50 mph (277.61 km/h), making it the fastest car currently available in the game, completing laps with an impressive average time of just 0:57.574. With a 20% discount, players can obtain the Banshee GTS for $1,591,600 from Legendary Motorsport.
3) Heavy Sniper
See the Heavy Sniper in action
In the chaotic environment of Los Santos, having reliable weaponry is essential, and the Heavy Sniper is a top choice among players. This semi-automatic sniper rifle draws inspiration from the real-life Barrett M82, delivering formidable firepower.
Notably, the Heavy Sniper can eliminate foes with a single shot and inflict substantial damage on vehicles, capable of bringing down a helicopter in just two shots. The latest update allows players to acquire this weapon for free at the Gun Van, making it a fantastic addition to any arsenal.
4) Vapid Caracara 4×4
Among the plethora of off-road vehicles in Los Santos, the Vapid Caracara 4×4 deserves a special mention. This four-seater pickup truck is reminiscent of the 2014–2018 Ford F-150 and is currently featured as the Prize Ride in this year’s April Fool’s Day update.
While it may not boast the highest speed, with a top speed of 103.25 mph (166.16 km/h) and completing laps in 1:09.570, its true strength lies in its off-road prowess. The heavy-duty suspension and 4WD system ensure that players can navigate rough terrains smoothly. Those opting not to secure it as the Prize Ride can purchase it for $875,000 at Southern San Andreas Super Autos.
5) Lampadati Corsita
Finally, the Lampadati Corsita, a two-seater sports car influenced by the Maserati MC20, is featured as the Podium Vehicle in the April Fool’s Day update, allowing players a chance to win it for free!
This vehicle not only captivates with its sleek design but also impresses with its performance. Its V12 engine allows it to reach a top speed of 131.25 mph (211.23 km/h), and it can complete laps in approximately 1:01.812. For players who may wish to bypass the chance of winning, the Corsita is available for outright purchase at $1,795,000 from Legendary Motorsport.
The next scheduled update for GTA 5 Online will be released following the deadline of 2:00 AM PT, on April 3, 2025.
