GTA Online guide: How to get 2x bonuses from Short Trips this week (August 3 - August 9, 2023)

To unlock Short Trips in GTA Online, you must own a Celebrity Solutions Agency, go through its campaign, and complete Dr. Dre's VIP Contract missions. After this, you will receive a call from Franklin inviting you to the Record A Studios situated in Rockford Hills.

It can take some time for the call to be triggered, so in the meantime, you can roam around in Freemode in Grand Theft Auto 5 Online. Additionally, Short Trips are not solo missions, so you will either have to invite a friend or a stranger.

Once these conditions are met, head to Record A Studios, enter the mission marker, invite your associate, and start the job. On the first attempt, you will have to sit through a lengthy cutscene, at the end of which the controls will switch to Franklin and Lamar, and the first Short Trips mission will begin.

After the first mission, you can start the remaining jobs by visiting the Record A Studios' smoking room. The following is a list of all Short Trips missions in GTA Online:

• Seed Capital
• Fire It Up
• OG Kush

Each of the aforementioned Short Trips jobs will reward 2x bonuses through August 9, 2023, as part of the ongoing GTA Online weekly update.

• Step 1 - Enter the Pause Menu
• Step 2 - Head over to Online
• Step 3 - Click on Jobs
• Step 4 - Select Play Jobs

• Step 6 - Scroll down to Missions

Now, just go through the missions list and select either of the three Short Trips jobs.

Both Franklin and Lamar are beloved characters, but their return in Grand Theft Auto 6 has not been confirmed yet. In fact, the game hasn't even been officially announced. Hence, fans can continue having fun in the current game until the sequel is released.
