Los Santos is doing that thing it always does: throwing two totally different vibes into one week and daring you to keep up. One minute it's hearts and roses, the next it's red lanterns and fireworks, and somehow it works when the payouts are this loud. If you're jumping back in after a break, it's the kind of event slate that can get your cashflow sorted fast, even before you start thinking about gear, garages, or GTA 5 Modded Accounts and what you want your character to look like long-term.

Fire Horse Freebies and Fast Money

The Year of the Fire Horse stuff is the headline, and yeah, the login gifts are worth grabbing. Masks, tattoos, the usual "limited-time" flex. But the real win is how easy it is to turn a casual session into profit. The Yuanbao Collectibles are back, so you'll find yourself taking weird detours through alleys and underpasses just to snag one more. It's low effort, and it adds up quicker than you'd expect. If you're more of a track rat, the Lunar New Year Stunt Races are where the numbers get silly—Senora Derby is paying 3x GTA$ and RP, and GTA+ players get an even bigger bump that makes losing a race sting a lot less.

Modes That Don't Feel Like Chores

Not everyone wants to drive perfect lines for hours, and that's fine. Deadline Duet is back in rotation, and it's still that neon, Tron-ish chaos—only now it's built around 2v2 pressure. You'll mess up, you'll clip a wall, you'll swear you had them boxed in. Then you'll pull off one clean trap and feel like a genius. Triple rewards help, obviously, but the mode's best feature is that it stays tense even when you're behind. On top of that, the Community Series paying double is a nice palate cleanser when you're tired of the same old playlists.

CEO/VIP Work Is the Quiet Winner

If you're the kind of player who likes reliable money, this is your week. Rockstar flicked on a 4x GTA$ and RP boost for CEO/VIP work, and it changes the whole rhythm of a session. Headhunter and Sightseer go from "solid" to "why am I doing anything else," especially if you've got a Buzzard, a fast car, or even just a good route. It's also flexible: run a job, grab a collectible, queue a quick mode, repeat. You don't need a full crew, and you're not waiting on randoms to stop goofing around.

Discounts Worth Actually Buying

After you've stacked a bit of cash, the sales are the fun part. The Nagasaki Shotaro at 50% off is hard to ignore—still one of the cleanest bikes to ride when you want speed without feeling flimsy. Property discounts are there too, which matters if you've been putting off an upgrade that makes grinding smoother. Don't overthink it: pick one thing that makes you earn faster, then treat yourself. And if you're browsing extras on the side, it's easy to see why people look at GTA 5 Modded Accounts for sale when they just want to skip the slow start and get straight to the good stuff.
