Rockstar just pulled the trigger on a massive update that honestly changes the pace of Los Santos for a bit. If you’ve been bored of the same old Cayo Perico grind, this is the week to hop back in. We finally got the Mansion Raid adversary mode, and it's basically the high-stakes breaking-and-entering fantasy everyone wanted from the "Safehouse in the Hills" rumors.
Seriously, the payout potential right now is kind of insane. We're talking 4x bonuses on specific activities. That doesn't happen often.
The New Mansion Raid Is Here (And It Pays Well)
The big headline for the GTA Online weekly update starting January 15, 2026, is the debut of Mansion Raid. It’s a multi-stage Adversary Mode for 4 to 8 players. One team attacks a massive estate while the other tries to keep them from touching the vault.
If you’re on the attacking side, you have to plant explosives to bypass security. Every time a charge goes off, you get 30 seconds added to the clock. Once you're in the vault, you grab the gold and sprint for the exit.
What’s the catch?
It’s mostly close-quarters combat. If you aren't bringing an assault shotgun or something that shreds in tight hallways, you’re going to have a bad time.

Rockstar is dangling a huge carrot here:
- 2x GTA$ and RP on all Mansion Raid matches.
- GTA$200,000 bonus just for winning a single round (delivered within 72 hours).
Nightclubs Are the Meta This Week
If you own a Nightclub, you’re basically printing money until January 21. Honestly, the passive income is the easiest way to fund those million-dollar supercars without actually "playing" the game.
Double Daily Income is live. If you keep your popularity bar maxed out, you’re looking at a steady stream of cash into that wall safe. But the real money is in the Business Battles.
Rockstar set Business Battles to 4x GTA$ and RP.
Four times.
That is rare.
You also get 4x the actual Nightclub Goods for your warehouse. If you see a Business Battle pop up in your session, drop whatever you're doing and go for it. Completing just one Battle also ticks off the Weekly Challenge, which hands you an extra GTA$100,000.
What’s On the Podium and the Prize Ride?
You’ve got to head to the Diamond Casino for a spin. The Declasse Impaler LX is sitting on the podium this week. It’s a solid muscle car that usually retails for $1,465,000. It’s not the fastest thing in the world, but for free? You can't complain.

Over at the LS Car Meet, the Grotti Itali GTO is the Prize Ride.
To get it, you need to:
- Enter the LS Car Meet Series.
- Place in the Top 2 for four days in a row.
It’s a bit of a grind, but the GTO is a top-tier sports car that usually costs nearly $2 million. It’s worth the headache.

Actionable Tips for This Week
- Max your Nightclub Popularity: Do the management missions or just swap DJs. With 2x daily income, that safe fills up fast.
- Farm Business Battles: Even if you lose the main haul, the 4x RP is great for leveling up.
- Do your G's Cache: It's paying 2x GTA$ and RP this week. It takes two minutes and the payout is surprisingly decent for the effort.
- Check the FIB Priority File: This week it's "Project Breakaway." It pays double, so if you're into the contact-style missions, that's your go-to.
Whether you're raiding mansions or just letting your nightclub do the work, this is one of the better weeks we've seen in early 2026. Get in there before the reset on January 22.
