As the latest GTA Online weekly update rolls in, players are greeted with a myriad of new opportunities including discounts on vehicles, bonuses for particular jobs, and fresh offers to enjoy. However, among these options, there are certain purchases and activities that players would be wise to reconsider. This guide outlines five items to avoid during the current update period, spanning from March 27 to April 2, 2025.
Five Purchases to Skip in the Latest GTA Online Update (March 27 – April 2, 2025)
1) Lampadati Corsita
Known for its sleek design, the Lampadati Corsita is reminiscent of the Maserati MC20 and boasts impressive speed, making it an attractive choice for racing and navigating the expansive game world. Nevertheless, it is advisable not to purchase this vehicle for $1,795,000 from Legendary Motorsport this week. Instead, take advantage of its status as the Podium Vehicle, offering players a chance to win it for free until April 2, 2025.
2) Vapid Caracara
The Vapid Caracara stands out as one of the top off-road vehicles available in GTA Online, capable of conquering steep terrain and providing excellent grip and balance throughout rugged landscapes. However, purchasing the Caracara for $1,775,000 is not recommended at this time. Instead, it is the prize ride at the LS Car Meet this week, where players can earn it for free by finishing in the top five in two consecutive LS Car Meet Series races.
3) Heavy Sniper from Ammu-Nation
The Heavy Sniper is available for purchase from Ammu-Nation and is revered for its damage output and long-range capabilities. Upgrading to the MK II variant can be done at a weapons workshop for $165,375, enhancing its effectiveness even further. However, there’s no need to spend $38,150 this week as the Heavy Sniper is available for free from the traveling Gun Van. Opt for this alternative to save your in-game currency.
4) Dinka Postlude
The Dinka Postlude, styled after the Honda Prelude Gen I, can be a fun vehicle to drive; however, it falls short in terms of top speed and passenger capacity, accommodating only two players. Moreover, it lacks compatibility with valuable modifications such as Imani Tech, HSW performance upgrades, or drift tuning options. Although the current 30% discount reduces its price from $1,310,000 (or $982,500 for the trade price), the investment may not be worthwhile for those seeking greater value.
5) Purchasing Business Supplies
In GTA Online, players can either complete resupply missions or opt to purchase business supplies. While the latter option offers convenience, it typically requires spending a fair amount of money. This week, it’s advisable to avoid purchasing supplies right away. Completing five business resupply missions will net players a $100,000 bonus, making it a more lucrative choice to engage in missions initially.
By steering clear of these particular purchases, players can maximize their in-game resources and take full advantage of the ongoing opportunities presented in this week’s update. Enjoy exploring Los Santos!
