Weed Farm sales and 4 other ways to earn money in GTA Online (April 18 - 24, 2025)

5) Hunting Pack (Get Lamar)

new variant of the Hunting Pack GTA Online Adversary Mode, Hunting Pack (Get Lamar), debuted on April 17, 2025. Anywhere between four and eight players can participate in this mode. They are divided into three teams - Ballas, Families, and a solo player, Lamar Davis - where Lamar's objective is to reach a buyer's location, while the Families need to protect him from the Ballas.

It doesn't have a very high payout, i.e., only up to $20,000. However, the reward has been doubled as part of the GTA 5 Online 420 update, which makes it worth checking out through April 23, 2025. Additionally, winning two Hunting Pack (Get Lamar) rounds this week will reward a $100,000 bonus.

4) Street Dealer sales

Street Dealers are NPCs to whom players can sell certain units of Weed, Coke, Meth, and Acid, provided they own the respective businesses with a batch of product available. Each Street Dealer has a preferred item for which they will pay more than usual.

Rockstar Games has also doubled Street Dealer payouts under the current GTA Online weekly update. Thus, players can potentially earn more money from them than compared to the Hunting Pack (Get Lamar) Adversary Mode, especially if they own multiple such businesses.

3) Weed Farm sales

Weed Farm is one of the five MC businesses in GTA Online. Although not the most profitable of the bunch, it is still a decent money-making option. Selling weed by the business' Sell Missions will pay three times as usual this week, making it a great time to grind this business.

All Weed Farm properties and optional upgrades are off by 50% this week, so if you don't have one, now is a good time to invest. Note that an MC Clubhouse is needed to purchase any MC business, and this property is available at a 30% discount this week.

Oscar Guzman Flies Again is a new campaign added to the game in March 2025. Completing all its missions on Normal Difficulty pays $500,000 (plus a little bit more for completing optional objectives), and $750,000 for beating the campaign on Hard.

There are no bonuses applied on Oscar Guzman Flies Again this week, but given the reward, it is always worth using to earn money in GTA Online. It can be played after buying the McKenzie Field Hangar.

If you don't have enough to buy that property, check out the Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid. It needs no investment and pays $500,000.

1) The Cayo Perico Heist

The Cayo Perico Heist in GTA Online can pay around a million dollars per run. This is without any bonuses applied, which makes it arguably the best way to earn money in GTA Online all the time, and not just this week.

To play it, visit the Music Locker at the Diamond Casino, talk to Miguel Madrazo, and buy the $2.2 million Kosatka submarine afterwards. Although it is indeed a hefty amount, it is really just a one-time investment, after which you can keep making a good amount of money on a regular basis.
