This article will share everything one needs to know about the new additions to GTA Online this week.
New Taxi Work is now available in GTA Online
GTA Online Taxi Work has finally been added to the game as part of the Los Santos Drug Wars DLC drip feed update today. Players can now start their side hustle by earning a fair amount of money by doing the Taxi Work missions.
It can simply start with Downtown Cab Co., which can be found in the East Vinewood area of the map. Players can also purchase the Taxi from the Warstock Cache & Carry for $487,000 – $650,000 and start the Taxi Work anytime by pressing the prompted button.
They can unlock the Trade Price for the Taxi by completing the first 10 fares. PS5 and Xbox Series S/X owners can now use Taxi as the new Fast Travel feature. Rockstar explained it by stating:
“Call Downtown Cab Co. on your iFruit to request a Taxi, let your driver know where you’re headed, and hit Skip to Destination to beat the traffic. And GTA+ Members can put the Skip to Destination service into overdrive, with just a 5-minute wait in between trips.”
MTL Brickade 6×6 can be bought to set up Acid Lab
Rockstar has removed the need to complete all First Dose missions before players can get their hands on the Acid Lab vehicles. Starting today, one can simply purchase the MTL Brickade 6×6 from the Warstock Cache & Carry in-game website for $1,450,000 – $750,000 and set up an Acid Lab on its back.
