GTA Online gamers encountering payout bugs for different missions after update

As seen in the tweet above, Rockstar has acknowledged this bug and has started implementing fixes to resolve it in GTA Online. It is commendable of the developer as it has already started to fix all of these problems mere hours after the summer update was released.

The bug in question effectively restores the old rewards for Security Contacts, Payphone hits, and Ammu-Nation Deliveries. This means that a large number of players are not receiving the perks and bonuses that all of these missions were meant to get after this update.

To fix this, Payphone Hits and Security Contract rewards have significantly decreased due to Rockstar's reworking of the in-game economy.

Payphone hit rates have dropped significantly. From $85,000, each hit now only costs $50,000. The reward for finishing the task is $15,000, while the reward for finishing the assassination bonus is $35,000.

Gamers used to make $127,500 during the 1.5X GTA$ & RP, which has since decreased to $75,000.

As mentioned earlier, the compensation for security contracts has also been cut. A vehicle recovery mission at level "Specialist plus" now only pays $31,000. Less than $17,000 is paid for "Professional" level rescue efforts.

Many Grand Theft Auto insiders, like Tez2, have understood why Rockstar is facing this bug. Moreover, many gamers have predicted that some problems will come up regarding this update just because of how much new content it provides to the base game.

Additionally, Rockstar is working on additional faults as a few players are having trouble connecting to the Rockstar Games server. In any case, the publisher will need to work on this for the foreseeable future to prevent the discovery of any other bugs surrounding this update.
