GTA Online Update Brings Back Grotti Brioso 300

The Grand Theft Auto series is known for its diverse array of vehicles, and Rockstar Games' ongoing title GTA Online is no exception. GTA Online added a weaponized dinghy to the roster of available vehicles last week, for example, though it also has plenty of regular cars in multiple styles. A compact car called the Grotti Brioso 300 was added alongside the game's Cayo Perico Heist update last December, and now it is back for players to purchase and use in the game's main playable region.

Of the many additions to GTA Online in the Cayo Perico Heist update was Juan "El Rubio" Strickler's secure compound, the centerpiece of the titular heist. Players can find numerous vehicles there, including a white Brioso 300 with a custom license plate that reads "Rub10," but up until now the Grotti car was only available as a free seasonal gift between December 22 and 30, 2020.

Now the vehicle is available for purchase at the Southern San Andreas Super Autos store, according to a newswire post by Rockstar Games today. This update post also outlines bonuses GTA Online players can receive this week, including double rewards from Air Freight Cargo Sell Missions, the Stockpile game mode, Sea and Air Races, and the six "A Superyacht Life" missions.

Also detailed in the newswire post is the ability for players to receive double the GTA$ and Reputation Points from discovering Hidden Caches and Treasure Chests. The Diamond Casino & Resort's Lucky Wheel offers the chance to win a Bravado Verlierer car until March 10, and players can also receive the two-part Panic ProLaps Basketball outfit by completing the Cayo Perico Heist Finale and collecting a secondary target until March 17.

Much like other weekly updates from Rockstar, the March 4 newswire further lays out discounts on items players can buy, benefits for connecting one's Rockstar Social Club account to Prime Gaming, and reminds PS Plus players that they have to manually redeem free money starting this April. However, fans of the boxy Grotti Brioso 300 will want to log in just to get their hands on one.

As Rockstar continues to update GTA Online each week, the developer is also preparing to release Grand Theft Auto 5 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. GTA Online will also get a standalone release, which publisher Take-Two Interactive says should encourage more people to buy the game if they are interested in multiplayer but want it at a lower price point.

For the longest time, Rockstar Games' 2013 blockbuster has continued to break sales records and player numbers. Shortly after Grand Theft Auto 5 released, Rockstar Games introduced a simple-but-fun online mode titled Grand Theft Auto Online. Many theorized this would be the start of a serious expansion of multiplayer for the game, and after a short period of lacking multiplayer content, suddenly Grand Theft Auto Online exploded in popularity. Gameplay features like heists and office management added a ton of depth and complexity to the game. However, more recently, Grand Theft Auto "roleplay" has been the most popular offering for GTA 5.
