What to buy & what to avoid in GTA Online Weekly Update April 12-17

Looking to make the most of your GTA Online grind this week? We’ve done the digging, tested the rides, and dodged enough rockets to bring you the best (and worst) buys in this week’s update. Whether you’re hunting for a beast of a vehicle or just looking to rack up some fast cash, here’s exactly what to focus on—and what to avoid.

Top Buy of the Week: Bravado Halftrack

On sale for 30% off, the Bravado Halftrack is, hands down, the best pick this week. This armored beast can survive 27 homing missiles or 9 RPGs, has a bulletproof front windshield, a powerful mounted gun, and even drops proximity mines (once unlocked via bunker research). It’s excellent for PvP, missions and chaotic fun. If you’re into armored vehicles, this is your moment—grab it.

Property Discount: High-End Apartments (30% Off)

Need a place to launch your OG heists? Now’s the time. 30% off High-End Apartments makes this a great buy—especially if you're short on garage space or want to start heisting. Don’t overspend here unless necessary, but it’s worth grabbing one if you don’t already have it.

Money-Making Opportunities

If you’re low-level or looking to earn without much investment, focus on pizza deliveries, community jobs, and adversary modes.

1. Double Money & RP: Original Heists: Great time to replay the OG heists—especially if you're newer and building up cash.
2. Triple Money & RP: Community Series Jobs: Some parkour-style missions pay big this week. Fun, fast, and good for RP.
3. Double Money & RP: Pizza Deliveries: Easy RP for lower-level players. Nothing fancy, but quick and simple.
4. Double Money & RP: Hostile Vistas (Adversary Mode): Max 4 players. Not a fan-favorite, but worth trying if you’re grinding RP.

Vehicle Deals: What to Buy & What to Skip

If you love muscle cars or classic tuner style, there are a few fun pickups—but don’t waste your cash on slow or overpriced rides.

Must-Buys:

• Dewbauchee Vagner – Just over $1M, it's a top-tier supercar (non-HSW) with fantastic speed and handling. Great bang for your buck.
• Insurgent Pickup – Pick this up to eventually upgrade it into the Insurgent Pickup Custom. Amazing armor, mounted weapon, and serious durability. You’ll need bunker research for full upgrades, but even the base version is worth it.
• Rune Zhaba – On sale for $1.26M, this tanky little SUV surprisingly holds its own with 14 RPG resistance. Not a must-have, but great for collectors or armored vehicle fans.

Skip These:

• Vysser Neo – Discounted, but not worth it. Clunky handling, limited customization, and better cars are on sale.
• Pfister Neon – Looks great, but electric handling quirks and lack of upgrades make it a poor choice.
• Mammoth Squaddie & Vapid Winky – Both are underwhelming. Slow, poor handling, and overpriced for what they offer.

Final Verdict

Buy the Halftrack and Insurgent Pickup. These vehicles are beasts, especially once fully upgraded. Add the Vagner if you need a solid supercar. Skip the Neon and Neo—they just don’t hold up. And if you're tight on cash, hit the double/triple money modes to build up your wallet.
