Rockstar Games has kicked off the closing chapter of its Brand Wars event in GTA Online, with a new weekly update running from August 20th through the 26th. The soda-fueled rivalry between Sprunk and eCola, which launched two weeks ago, now heads into its final stretch, bringing a fresh set of bonuses, discounts, and one last chance to cash in on the event's Twitch Drops promotion.
The Gallivanter Warden Goes Wide
After a week of GTA+ exclusivity, the Gallivanter Warden is now available to every player. It can be picked up from Legendary Motorsport for $1,597,500.
Brand Loyalty Still Pays
The core hook of Brand Wars remains in place for its second and final week. Players who link their Twitch and Rockstar Games accounts and watch qualifying Twitch Drops streams between August 13th and 26th can back either Team Sprunk or Team eCola. Sticking with a team through the full watch-time ladder unlocks a themed outfit, either the Sprunk Sweatsuit or the eCola Tracksuit, along with a share of GTA$2,000,000 split across both teams' rewards.
The catch is timing. Progress is tracked per-team and doesn't stack across multiple simultaneous streams, and any rewards left unclaimed when the campaign ends on the 26th are forfeited. Players sitting on unredeemed watch time should log in and claim before the window closes.
There's a smaller set of freebies attached to the same event, available simply by logging in: Sprunk and eCola bodysuits at any clothing store, and a free Declasse Hotring Sabre from Southern San Andreas Super Autos, complete with a Sprunk x eCola livery and branded plates.
This Week's Challenges and Bonuses
The second Brand Wars Weekly Challenge asks players to win three races between August 20th and 26th, rewarding the Princess Racing Tracksuit and GTA$250,000 on top of it. That follows last week's challenge, which asked for three completed Business Battles in exchange for the Impotent Rage Sweatsuit and a matching cash bonus.
Hotring Races continue to pay out at 4X GTA$ and RP through the end of the event, and select Odd Jobs, including Paper Route, Firefighter, Forklift Operator, Safeguard, and QuickiePharm deliveries, are still running triple rewards.
The standout bonus of the week lands on the weekend: from August 21st through the 23rd, VIP Work pays out at 5X GTA$ and RP, giving CEOs and VIPs a short, lucrative window to boost their business income.
Casino, Car Meet, and Test Rides
The Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel is offering a shot at the Declasse Granger 3600LX this week, valued at $1,380,000 from Southern San Andreas Super Autos. GTA+ members get two spins every 24 hours instead of one.
Over at the LS Car Meet, placing in the top three of a race two days running unlocks the Enus Paragon R as a Prize Ride, available afterward for $905,000 from Legendary Motorsport.
This week's Premium Test Ride is the Pfister Astron Custom, available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC Enhanced. The Test Track lineup includes the Pfister Comet S2, Dinka Veto Modern, and Western Reever.
Discounts and Dealership Stock
With the event shifting its focus for its second half, Bail Offices and their upgrades are now 40% off, taking over from the discounted Car Wash businesses of week one. A run of vehicles remains discounted as well, including the Overflod Autarch, Pegassi Osiris, Progen GP1, and Benefactor Stirling GT, all reduced by 30%.
At the Gun Van, the Battle Rifle is half price this week, following the free Unholy Hellbringer giveaway from the event's opening days.
Rockford Hills' Luxury Autos dealership is showing off two liveried variants of the Declasse Scramjet this week, one with the Impotent Rage design and the other featuring Prince branding, for players looking to round out a themed garage before Brand Wars wraps on August 26th.
