GTA Online Weekly Update (September 8) - bonus rewards, discounts, and vehicles

The soda wars continue, which means more prizes for you!

September 8 is here, which means Ecola is clapping back following last week's shoots fired off by Sprunk in a new GTA Online Weekly Update! The game has received a selection of temporary changes and updates as is the norm for the vast amount of the year, although this week continues the recent special fizzy drink theme. This includes limited discounts, bonuses to specific mission types, and free vehicles for you to fight over.

In the GTA Online Septemeber 8 weekly update, new races, a new car, and a whole lot of red ecola themed prizes are up for grabs for players with a bit of cash or a bit of luck on their side.

This short roundup article will cover every new coming to the game this week that you need to know about. This’ll include discounted cars, a new podium vehicle and double GTA cash and RP on select missions.
