GTA 5 Online 1.17 Update: Last Team Standing Event Weekend Brings Exclusive Free Unlocks, Bonus RP and More

Rockstar Games has announced an Event Weekend bonanza from 3 October (starting 4 to 6pm ET) through 5 October midnight to celebrate the release of its highly-anticipated DLC, The Last Team Standing (LTS) for GTA Online.

You can take part in the 10 new jobs from The Last Team Standing Update or create new jobs on Rockstar Social Club using LTS Creator Mode, reports Rockstar Newswire.

Free Exclusive Unlockables and Ammo Rewards

Winners of the event with 100% completion rate (including 5 brand new 16-player LTS jobs from the LTS Creator update) will be eligible for free unlockables such as 'Please Stop Me' Manhunt throwback mask as well as free supply of ammunition and incendiaries to help them in their next battle against the enemy.

Equip yourself with an arsenal of ammo and powerful explosives following your victory as you may want to spill more blood. Here is everything you might need:

• 3 Sticky Bombs
• 3 Grenades
• 3 Molotovs
• 100 Sniper bullets
• 200 Shotgun shells
• 500 Rifle rounds
• 1 Body Armor

To take part in any of these events, just choose the Event option via GTA 5 loading screens or locate the Last Team Standing Event Playlist via Rockstar Playlists section found on the GTA Online Start Menu.

Earn Double RP with LTS and Creator Jobs, and Bonus RP with Crewmates

Enjoy double RP for all LTS jobs including original fan favourites such as Cypress Flats LTS or Beacon Theater LTS as well as gamer-created LTS jobs in Creator mode for the event playlist featured for the weekend.

Gamers can also enjoy extra bonus RP up to 20% while playing LTS missions with Crew members. The stakes are much higher this weekend especially given the Double RP bonus feature with LTS update which translates to 140% more RP over standard version with Crewmates onboard.

Free LTS Team Betting Stakes and Big GTA$ Payouts for Winners

Rockstar has raised the betting cap on all jobs to $10,000 for the Weekend Event, while the betting stakes go up to $7,000 for every player participating in the LTS event including those in the playlist.

You stand a chance to earn bigger payouts based on the number of rounds fixed for a particular job and your success rate with betting on your own team.

50% Discounts on Crew Clothing, Tattoos and Vehicle Mods

Gamers are encouraged to enjoy new Crew clothing, Tattoos and Vehicle Mods at exclusive half-price rates to ensure solidarity and loyalty among the crew members in GTA Online.
