Each week, the living world of Los Santos reshapes itself around new incentives and instruments of mayhem — and this week, the waters themselves become contested territory. Rockstar has introduced a combat-ready dinghy to GTA Online's ever-expanding arsenal, while doubling the rewards for a range of activities and slashing prices on properties and vehicles. It is the familiar rhythm of a live game economy: rotate the rewards, refresh the toys, and give players a reason to return — not tomorrow, but today.
