Here are 9 things to collect in GTA 5 Online 4th of July update
1) Independence Day outfits
What better way to celebrate Independence Day in GTA 5 Online than by boasting some exclusive themed outfits? They can be obtained at clothing stores across Los Santos and Blaine County from the Outfits: Independence section.
2) Musket

The Musket is a vintage weapon that can be pretty fun to use. It, understandably, has a slow firing rate, but deals quite a bit of damage. The rifle usually costs $21,400, which is already quite cheap, but it can be obtained at 50% off from the GTA 5 Online Gun Van until July 9, 2025.
3) Firework Launcher

The Firework Launcher is a unique weapon that does exactly what its name suggests. It is an RPG launcher that releases fireworks, and it can be fun to mess around with. The item is available at a 50% discount in the Gun Van during the GTA 5 Online 4th of July update.

4) Independence Day liveries for the MOC

Rockstar Games has slashed prices of exclusive Independence Day liveries for the Mobile Operations Center (MOC) by 40% this week through July 9, 2025. This is quite a useful vehicle that can be bought from Warstock Cache and Carry by those who own a Bunker.

5) Liveries for MK II weapons

Certain weapons can be upgraded to their MK II variants at weapon workshops, making them even deadlier. They can also be customized cosmetically to a degree at these workshops, and as part of the GTA 5 Online 4th of July update, Rockstar has discounted exclusive Independence Day liveries for such weapons by 40%.
6) Lady Liberty Bucket Hat

The Lady Liberty Bucket Hat is a nice Independence Day-themed apparel that can be obtained thanks to the GTA 5 Online 4th of July update. Those who join an online session, regardless of public or private, through July 9 will receive this item for free.
7) Fireworks Bucket Hat

The Fireworks Bucket Hat is basically the same as the previous entry, albeit with a different design. Obtaining it requires a bit more hard work, too, since players need to win two GTA 5 Online Land Races.
8) Karin Boor

The Karin Boor, an off-roader likely based on the second-generation Subaru BRAT, can be obtained for just $20,000 (or $10,000 for Document Forgery Office owners) by completing the Salvage Yard's Duggan Robbery through July 9. It features a unique Liberty City license plate and an Independence Day-themed livery.
9) Declasse Drift Yosemite

A Declasse Drift Yosemite boasting an Independence Day-themed livery and a Las Venturas license plate can be claimed similarly by completing the Salvage Yard's McTony Robbery as long as the GTA 5 Online 4th of July update lasts.
