In the GTA Online January 19 weekly update we’ve got a brand new car up for sale, as well as a new side activity in the form of Taxi driving, which should act as a nice distraction from all the dishonest payouts you’ve been getting recently. This short roundup article will cover every new coming to the game this week that you need to know about. This’ll include discounted cars, a new podium vehicle and double GTA cash and RP on select missions.

New Content
The first big of new content added with the January 19 weekly update is the Brickade 6x6, a heavily armoured vehicle purchasable from Warstock Cache & Carry for $1,450,000. If you’d rather give up the crime and pick up a respectable day job, you can also go to the Los Santos Taxi hub by the Casino and start doing Taxi missions. These pay out for each successful trip you make, and can act as a relaxing way of netting some extra money on the side. If you’re really into the Taxi lifestyle, you can even buy a personal one for yourself for $650,000. If you own it, you can start Taxi missions from anywhere on the map, so it should save you plenty of time.
