THE SHORT ANSWER
GTA Online’s Title Update 1.73 adds a weekly completion bonus that boosts GTA$ payouts for a set of thirteen Contact Missions and Heists, but the boost only applies while the session’s host has not already finished the mission’s finale that week. This means every player in the session can benefit, provided the host’s status meets the requirement.
- Update 1.73 introduced a weekly completion bonus for thirteen specific Contact Missions and Heists.
- GTA$ rewards increase for all players when the host has not completed the mission’s finale during the current weekly period.
- If the host repeats the same activity within the same week, subsequent GTA$ rewards are reduced.
- The official list of qualifying missions is posted on Rockstar’s Newswire page.
GTA Online’s Title Update 1.73 adds a weekly completion bonus that boosts GTA$ payouts for a set of thirteen Contact Missions and Heists, but the boost only applies while the session’s host has not already finished the mission’s finale that week. This means every player in the session can benefit, provided the host’s status meets the requirement.
What the Weekly Bonus Covers
- Thirteen specific missions – The update specifies exactly thirteen Contact Missions and Heists that are eligible for the weekly bonus【1】【2】.
- Host‑completion condition – The bonus is active only when the current host has not completed the mission’s finale during the ongoing weekly window. If the host has already finished it, payouts revert to the normal amount【1】【2】.
- Reduced payout on repeat runs – When the same host runs the same eligible activity again within the same week, the GTA$ reward for subsequent runs is lowered, meaning the bonus diminishes with each repeat【1】【2】.
How the Bonus Works
- Check eligibility in‑game – The “Weekly Bonuses” tab lists the missions that are currently qualified and shows whether the host meets the completion condition.
- Use a fresh host – Rotating the session host to a player who hasn’t yet completed the mission that week guarantees the full bonus for all participants.
- Prioritise high‑payout missions – Since the bonus is a multiplier, applying it to missions that already have higher base GTA$ rewards yields the greatest net earnings.
Key takeaways
- The weekly bonus affects 13 specific missions.
- It only activates when the host has not completed the mission’s finale that week.
- Repeating the same mission with the same host reduces the payout.
- The official list of qualifying missions is published on Rockstar’s Newswire page【2】.
