A new Grand Theft Auto (GTA) Online weekly update kicked off earlier today, raising the standard payout of certain jobs in the game. One of them is Junk Energy Skydives, a high-octane skydiving challenge that players can complete to earn in-game cash and RP. Through September 13, 2023, completing a Junk Energy Skydive challenge will reward twice the usual payout.
To register a successful attempt, players must pass through all the checkpoints and beat the Challenge Time, which is different for each Junk Energy Skydive. For those unaware of where to begin this challenge, here is a list of all the locations in GTA Online giving 2x cash and RP.
