The GTA Online Money Fronts update dropped on June 17, 2025, and it’s packed with a new money laundering gig, fresh vehicles, missions, and some handy gameplay tweaks. Here’s a laid-back rundown of what’s new, what’s changed, and how to make the most of it.

1. Starting the Money Fronts Update

How to Get Started:

  • Head over to Los Santos International Airport and hit the marker to meet Martin Madrazo.
  • You’ll get a cutscene with Madrazo hooking you up with Mr. Faber, a new crime boss, and his right-hand guy, Raf De Angelis.
  • They’ll point you to the Hands On Car Wash in Strawberry, your starting point for the money laundering business.
  • Open your in-game phone, go to the Maze Bank Foreclosures website, and buy the Hands On Car Wash for GTA$1,000,000. You can also drop an extra GTA$10,000 to customize the interior color.

What’s the Deal: You’re using legit businesses like the car wash to clean dirty cash without drawing too much heat from the cops.

2. New Businesses and Money Laundering Mechanics

This update’s all about running iconic Los Santos businesses to turn shady money into legit profits. These spots make you cash on their own, but you’ve gotta watch out for the Heat system that tracks how much the cops are onto you.

  • Available Businesses:
    • Hands On Car Wash (Strawberry): Costs GTA$1,000,000 (plus GTA$10,000 for interior tint). It’s the main hub for laundering cash and boosts Counterfeit Cash Factory Sales by 30% if you’ve got an MC business.
    • Smoke on the Water (Vespucci Beach): A weed shop for GTA$850,000. It pumps up Weed Farm Sales and lets you do Weed Delivery missions in Free Roam to lower Heat.
    • Higgins Helitours (Vespucci): Goes for GTA$900,000. It gives a boost to Air Freight Cargo earnings.
  • Money Laundering Missions:
    • Start them from the laptop in each business or by calling Raf De Angelis.
    • You’ll do stuff like grabbing stolen goods, guarding cargo, or taking out rival gangs (like Aztec gang members for Gay Tony).
    • Cash goes into a Duffel Bag in the Car Wash’s bedroom. From June 17–25, 2025, Hands On Car Wash missions pay 2x GTA$ and RP.
    • Mr. Faber Work: Extra missions for cash, RP, and bonuses to your Car Wash safe, but they crank up the Heat level.
  • Heat System:
    • Doing sketchy stuff builds Heat, which can lead to police raids that stop your passive income.
    • Cool things down by doing legal tasks, like washing cars at the Car Wash or delivering weed for Smoke on the Water.
    • If Heat gets too high, you’ll need to focus on legit work to keep the cash flowing.
  • Passive Income:
    • Each business makes money on its own, and you’ll earn more if you own related businesses (like a Weed Farm for Smoke on the Water).

3. New Vehicles

  • Skippable Cutscenes: You can now skip cutscenes in missions like the Dr. Dre Contract or Cayo Perico Heist on replays, so grinding’s faster.
  • Delayed Global Signal Timer: In public lobbies, Sell Missions now take longer to alert other players to your location, making griefing harder.
  • Boxville Van Removed: That slow Boxville Van is gone from Biker Sell Missions, so things move quicker.
  • Doubled Arena Points: Everything that gives Arena Points now pays double, making Arena War more worth your time.
  • PC Enhancements: The Enhanced version on PC gets NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation and better ray-traced reflections/global illumination.
  • Stunt Race Creator: You can now use track pieces from Lunar New Year Stunt Races.
  • Survival Creator: Adjust wave prep time to your liking.
  • Petting Dogs: A cool little feature lets you pet dogs with the interaction button.

  • Future Content: Look out for more vehicles, a transporter job for big-ticket items, and events like Independence Day, Cayo Perico modes, and Halloween stuff soon.
