GTA Online players are always finding new creative ways to make as much money as possible in the least amount of time. Money is the biggest problem for most players in the game, especially considering how absurdly expensive some items can get in this game. Rockstar Games is also constantly adding new content to GTA Online, so to keep up with the purchases, you have got to keep your bank account filled.

Some missions in the game are preferred by players when they quickly want to get their hands on as much money as possible. Previously, this used to be the Cayo Perico heist before it got nerfed. However, recently, the Payphone Hits mission has been quite popular, because it gives you an additional Assassination bonus along with the main mission itself.

Previously, the mission used to give a $70k bonus in-game for Assassinating the leader, and $30k for Associates. However, in the recent update, it has been nerfed down to just $30k for the leader and $10k for Associates. The cooldown, however, has been reduced massively, from 48 minutes to 10 minutes. Rockstar Games said in a post about the recent update, "As part of our continuing efforts to balance and adjust GTA Online, payouts for Assassination Bonuses in Payphone Hits have been reduced, and the cooldowns between hits have also been reduced to 10 minutes."

This means the players can now repeat the same tasks more often to earn roughly the same, or even more money than they used to. Although it might look like a nerf at first glance, this update actually improves the earning potential of this mission by a lot through the reduced cooldown time.

What is the best way to earn money in GTA Online?

Keeping your pockets filled is incredibly important in GTA Online. This is why newer players are always looking for the best ways to earn money in the game. GTA Online offers plenty of options for players to earn money, and the variety of available tasks and missions is so large that players can often get confused. However, if you know the right places to look, you can easily get rich in no time!
