New Winter update
Head straight to Blaine County and join up with old pal Nervous Ron and a new band of out-of-state misfits on a mission to put their stamp on the Los Santos psychedelics trade. Fight off an unlikely coalition of wealthy hippies and trigger-happy bikers while cooking up potent hallucinogenics — in elaborate labs or out of your own massive rolling chemistry set — in the opening chapter of an expansive new two-part story update for GTA Online.
Ron Jakowski is a paranoid conspiracy theorist, entrepreneur, and podcaster. He is one of the main characters in GTA V and the deuteragonist of Trevor Philips.
In GTA Online, Ron is first seen with Trevor when he meets the GTA Online Protagonist. He then gives the Player missions for Trevor, occasionally calling to remind the Player about Crate Drops.
He is later seen helping Trevor in Series A Funding often being the person the Crew meets at the end of each setup mission. He also provides information to the crew through Earpieces during some of the missions. He is then seen briefly in the Finale, informing the Crew of the Gangs incoming attack on Trevor.
