It’s fair to say the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy: Definitive Editions didn’t go down as well as planned, and no amount of bug fixing will help gloss over the fact those classic games were released in that ‘remastered’ state. When they released though, there may have been an anticipated dip in GTA Online activity. If that was you though, now is the perfect time to jump back in with the weekly offerings for GTA Online.
Heist month comes to an end with the big fish – or rather panther – to collect in The Cayo Perico Heist. The Panther Statue will be available to those that scout it out on their first visit to the island this week. Use the security cameras to help locate the statue and score big. Not only that but complete any prep mission for the heist and unlock the Orange Glow Shades, or earn the Orange Skull Emissive Mask for any heist completion between now and 1st December.
This week also marks the return of Overtime Rumble, Top Fun, Welcoming Party and Weed Killer to GTA Online. To celebrate this, there will be double GTA$ and RP bonuses in Overtime Rumble this week.
Also available to play with 2x GTA$ and RP are Kart Krash: Full Auto and A Superyacht Life Missions. Seek out Captain Darcy and help defend his yacht from armed undesirables.
If none of this takes your fancy though, simply logging into GTA Online this week will net you free stuff. Firstly, the Still Slipping t-shirt can be yours for logging in, but the sweeter deal comes in the form of GTA$500000. If you can steer yourself away from your Thanksgiving turkeys for just a few moments, you can find many reasons to be thankful on GTA Online.
And if you don’t manage to make it online this week, the Shark Cards in the Xbox Store are always on hand if you need them.
As well as all this, there is also:
- LS Car Meet Prize Ride: the Annis ZR350
- Test Rides: Karin Calico GTF, Pfister Comet S2, and the Vapid Dominator ASP
- Lucky Wheel Podium Vehicle: The Grotti Visione
- 35% off the Kosatka submarine and all its Upgrades and Modifications
- 40% off all Super Yachts and their Upgrades, Renovations, and Modifications
- Vehicle Discounts: 40% off the Kurtz 31 Patrol Boat, Sparrow, Kraken Avisa, Weaponized Dinghy, and Vapid Slamtruck.

Jumping into GTA Online this week? There is plenty of incentive to; let us know in the comments if you are.
For me I don’t think the panther statue was worth the wait and let me tell you why. Ok so the panther statue adds another item to the basement along with the tequila, bonds, ruby necklace and pink diamond which means that technically it should be a 1 in 5 chance to get the panther statue. But you can get the same item twice or three times in a row which means it’ll take you lots of attempts to get the panther statue as I have spent 10 gather intel missions today and I still got no panther statue. In that amount of time that I was looking for the panther statue I could’ve completed around 2 heist finales which would’ve been better than looking for the panther statue. I swear I have gotten tequila 4 times in a row then I got bonds 2 times then I got the ruby necklace 2 times and then I got pink diamond 2 times.
I mean sure you get the panther statue on your first attempt but after that it’s all about having a lot of luck to get the panther statue.
