List of Freemode events and their rewards in GTA Online after the weekly update

Freemode is a type of GTA Online event that is further divided into several categories. Rockstar Games begins any of them at random and implements a 20-minute cooldown before proceeding to the next. However, certain conditions must be met by players in order for the missions to spawn.

These missions can be completed in any type of GTA Online lobby. However, some of them require at least three players in a session, while others require at least 10 to spawn the event. Each gamer must be in free roam and should not be a member of a motorcycle club or any other organization.

The Freemode events in GTA Online are as follows:

1) Challenges

There are 17 different types of Freemode Challenges in the game, each with its own objectives, time limit, and rewards. The following are some of the highest-paying offerings in the series:
