This week in GTA Online, Rockstar is focusing on Cayo Perico with the launch of a brand-new mode—Cayo Perico Motor Wars. While there are no special bonuses for the Cayo Perico heist itself, the spotlight is on this exciting, fast-paced game mode set on El Rubio’s island. Here's everything you need to know to make the most of this event, running through August 6, 2025.

What’s New? Cayo Perico Motor Wars
Cayo Perico Motor Wars is a thrilling twist on the classic Motor Wars adversary mode, now set on the tropical island of Cayo Perico. Players or teams will face off in a battle royale-style mode within an ever-shrinking safe zone. As the map tightens, the action intensifies, requiring strategic positioning and quick thinking. With the island’s diverse terrain, players have plenty of opportunities to use the environment to gain the upper hand.

Bonuses: Double Rewards for All, Quadruple for GTA+ Members
To kick off the new mode, Rockstar is offering a special reward boost. All players will enjoy 2X GTA$ and RP for participating in Cayo Perico Motor Wars. If you’re a GTA+ member, you get an even better deal, with 4X GTA$ and RP bonuses. This is the perfect time for GTA+ members to level up and earn more cash.

However, if you were hoping for special bonuses tied to the Cayo Perico heist this week, you may be a bit disappointed. There are no extra rewards on the heist itself, which may leave some fans of the classic heist mode feeling let down.

Other Bonus Activities This Week
In addition to the new Motor Wars mode, Rockstar is offering a few other bonuses this week:

- 3X GTA$ and RP on Buried Stashes and Treasure Chests

- 2X GTA$ and RP on popular modes like Top Fun, Sumo, and Turf Wars

- Weekly challenges with rewards, including cosmetic items like the Gold Gun Necklace for completing a session of Motor Wars

Tips to Maximize Rewards This Week
- Play Cayo Perico Motor Wars regularly to maximize your 2X or 4X rewards and earn GTA$ and RP faster.

- GTA+ members should definitely take advantage of the 4X rewards to level up and earn cash even quicker.

- Explore the island’s terrain and use it to your advantage in the shrinking zones to gain the upper hand.

- Collect Buried Stashes and Treasure Chests to earn triple rewards on top of your Motor Wars earnings.

Why This Week Feels Different for Cayo Perico Fans
While it’s a "Cayo Perico week," the absence of bonuses directly tied to the heist is noticeable. Rockstar seems to be pushing the new Motor Wars mode as a fresh way to experience the island, and it’s clear they want players to embrace a competitive, action-packed alternative to the usual heist rewards. Some players are excited for the change, while others may be waiting for another big heist bonus update.

If you love multiplayer action with a tropical backdrop, Cayo Perico Motor Wars is the perfect mode for you this week. However, if you were hoping for GTA$ and RP bonuses tied directly to the heist, you might find this week a bit quieter. Want to avoid spending hours grinding? You can buy GTA 5 modded accounts that come with all the features you need to enjoy the game right away.

Get ready for intense combat in the shrinking zones of Cayo Perico Motor Wars, and don’t miss out on the double (or quadruple for GTA+) rewards before August 6. Whether you're looking to level up or explore the island in a new way, there’s plenty to enjoy this week in GTA Online!
