Rockstar Games has introduced three new Odd Jobs in GTA Online — Firefighter, Forklift Operator, and Paper Route — with all Odd Jobs paying double GTA$ and RP through February 4, 2026.
A Rare Week Where Going Legit Pays Off
GTA Online players are being encouraged to briefly step away from high-octane heists and criminal empires. Rockstar Games has rolled out three new Odd Jobs that let players earn an honest living across Los Santos, all while enjoying 2X GTA$ and RP payouts for a limited time. The update, live from January 29 through February 4, positions legitimate work as one of the most lucrative ways to earn this week in GTA Online.
The new roles — Firefighter, Forklift Operator, and Paper Route — expand GTA Online’s long-running Odd Jobs system, which has quietly evolved into a full-fledged gig economy layered beneath the game’s crime-driven core. Rockstar is boosting incentives across the board, ensuring that even career criminals have reason to pick up a shift or two.
Firefighter: High Risk, Higher Reward
Answering the Call Across Los Santos
Players can now join the Los Santos Fire Department, responding to emergencies ranging from raging infernos and gas leaks to the occasional feline rescue. Speed matters: the faster players respond to dispatch calls, the larger the payout. Firefighter missions pay 2X GTA$ and RP during the launch week, making them among the most efficient active jobs currently available.
Firefighter work can be started by visiting the El Burro fire station or by entering a personally owned Fire Truck. Completing 25 dispatches unlocks The Unwavering Outfit, while those looking to commit fully to the role can purchase the MTL Fire Truck (Emergency) at a 30% discount from Warstock this week.
Forklift Operator: Warehouse Work Goes Competitive
Alpha Mail Needs Muscle and Precision
Alpha Mail’s warehouse near LSIA is hiring, and the work is all about efficiency. As a Forklift Operator, players load pallets onto conveyor belts under time pressure, earning double rewards for each successful shift. While less chaotic than firefighting, the job rewards precision and repetition.
Completing five loading sessions unlocks The Forklift Certified Outfit, reinforcing Rockstar’s ongoing focus on cosmetic rewards tied to progression rather than pure chance.
Paper Route: Old-School Delivery in a Modern City
Print Journalism Lives On in Los Santos
Despite Los Santos’ hyper-digital culture, the Los Santos Meteor is still printed on paper — and it needs delivery riders. Players can start a Paper Route by visiting the Meteor’s office in Strawberry, tossing newspapers onto doorsteps across the city for 2X GTA$ and RP this week.
The job offers a slower, more nostalgic pace, echoing classic GTA side activities while benefiting from modern reward scaling.
Double Rewards Across All Odd Jobs
The incentives extend far beyond the new roles. Rockstar has doubled payouts for all existing Odd Jobs, including medical courier work for QuickiePharm, armored transport runs for Bobcat Security and Gruppe Sechs, and food delivery for Pizza This…. Completing five Pizza Deliveries rewards players with the Pizza This… Tee and a tripled Weekly Challenge bonus worth GTA$300,000, while the Pegassi Pizza Boy motorcycle is free this week.
Taxi Work is also paying double, and players who complete five different Odd Jobs will receive the Downtown Cab Co. Revere Collar Shirt within 72 hours. Vehicles tied to these jobs, including the Vapid Taxi and security stockades, are discounted by 30%.
Crime Still Pays — Just Differently
For those unwilling to go fully legit, Rockstar hasn’t forgotten the criminal class. Cocaine Production Speed is doubled this week, with additional boosts available for mansion owners using the Business Production Boost. Cocaine Lockup properties and upgrades are discounted by 40%, reinforcing the game’s dual-track economy where lawful and illegal income streams coexist.
Competitive players can also earn 2X GTA$ and RP in the Community Race Series and RC Time Trials, keeping adrenaline high for those who prefer speed over structure.
A Broader Push Toward Variety
The update arrives alongside bug fixes and creator tools improvements, including expanded Wanted Level Options in the Mission Creator. It reflects Rockstar’s ongoing effort to keep GTA Online fresh more than a decade after launch by layering new systems onto familiar foundations.
By turning everyday jobs into top-tier money-makers, Rockstar is subtly rebalancing how players engage with Los Santos — at least for a week. For once, saving the city, moving freight, or delivering newspapers might be just as profitable as blowing things up.
