GTA Online's latest weekly update (January 29 to February 4, 2026) introduces three exciting new Odd Jobs that let you step away from crime for some honest work: Firefighter, Forklift Operator at Alpha Mail, and Paper Route for the Los Santos Meteor.
Complete any five different Odd Jobs (new or existing like Pizza Delivery or Taxi Work) to snag the Downtown Cab Co. Revere Collar Shirt within 72 hours.
All jobs require you to be solo (no Organization or MC), out of Passive Mode, and Wanted Level-free. Enable Odd Job blips in Interaction Menu > Preferences > Map Blip Options if they're not showing.
