Rockstar has just released GTA Online's new weekly update, allowing players to earn triple the usual GTA$ and RP by completing Business Battles until July 6.

Grand Theft Auto Online has multiple events that give players a chance to win cash and RP points. Business battles are Freemode Events that were introduced in the game as part of the After-Hours update. They occur randomly in the lobby without any need for loading screens as well as joining jobs. This article will cover everything players should know about Business Battles in GTA Online.

With the After-Hours update, Dead Drop and Moving Targets were replaced by Business Battles in the game. In these battles, players have to compete to steal various cargoes to use for their Nightclub Warehouse. Business battles are activated every 15 minutes as long as there are three players available who are not participating in other freemode tasks.

All Business Battles are open to all players, including those who are not affiliated with any organization or motorcycle clubs. Players who do not own a nightclub will be instructed to deliver the goods to a drop-off location at the other end of the map in exchange for cash and RP.

Business Battles alternate between Freemode Challenge and an event. There is a 20-minute cooldown time between the two activities, and Battles are available at different intervals of in-game time, which means that the players can’t start whenever they want. The events are available at 0:00, 6:00, 12:00, and 18:00 in-game hours.

Since Freemode events are randomized, only one of the ten Freemode events is a Business Battle. Once players see a business battle starting, they can join as long as there are three online players in the lounge who are automatically notified.

Business battles involve various activities like reaching, stealing, and delivering different types of Nightclub Warehouse Goods. These items could include cargo, weapons, products, or infrequently, special Event Cargo.
