Armored Trucks return to GTA Online later this summer in the San Andreas Mercenaries update

Rockstar Games has confirmed the return of Armored Van robberies, a popular Freemode event, to GTA Online in the San Andreas Mercenaries update.

While Rockstar hasn't provided a concrete return date for the armored truck, they did mention that it will come later this summer. Hence, players can expect it to drop sometime in July or August 2023.

As part of this event, players would have to be on the lookout for green Gruppe Sechs armored trucks and then rob its contents by killing the two guards inside.

This was a simple yet interesting way to make money but was removed sometime back from the online mode. However, it continues to be one of the many ways to make money in GTA 5 story mode.

Apart from Armored Van Robberies, the gaming studio announced a Cayo Perico-related event. It has been described as a large-scale battle; thus, some fans are speculating it to be some type of a battle royale.
