Why GTA Online Special Cargo is the best business to run this week

GTA Online fans have a good opportunity to make money from their Special Cargo quicker than usual this week. From January 5-11, 2023, a player's Warehouse Staff will be able to get crates for them 50% faster than usual.

This bonus is excellent for those who primarily rely on their staff to get Special Cargo rather than those who manually get it themselves.

It would normally take the Warehouse Staff 48 real-life minutes (one in-game day) to get at least one crate for the business. This week is an exception since it now only takes them 24 real-life minutes to do so. Saving half the time is phenomenal for those seeking to grind this business for extra cash.

Special Cargo Warehouses have a good bonus this week in GTA Online

The specific part from the relevant Newswire article posted on January 5, 2023, states:

"So do the math and earn extra GTA$ as Warehouse Staff work to source Special Cargo 50% faster all week."

The Warehouse Staff feature was introduced back in The Criminal Enterprises update, and using it is quite simple for those unfamiliar with it. You just have to visit your Warehouse and approach an NPC in it. A prompt will appear on the top left of your screen. The above photo is an example of that happening on the PS5.

Simply press it and accept their $7,500 fee. Do note that you must do this for all Warehouses you own. Fortunately, there are no limitations on what type of Warehouse you own, so any size from small to large will suffice.

After 24 real-life minutes pass (which is half a day in GTA Online), that staff member will manage to collect one to four Special Cargo crates. The number they get is entirely random.
