GTA Online December 31 Update: Treasure Chests, Omnis & rewards

Andrew Highton

This week’s GTA Online update introduces some new treasure chests to Los Santos, adds the Omnis as a podium vehicle, and offers another haul of rewards and discounts. Find out what else is included in the December 31 patch notes for GTA Online.

It feels like only yesterday we were gearing up for a snowy Los Santos and bringing in the Christmas spirit. Fast-forward a few days – the snow has cleared and we’re saying goodbye to all the Festive Content.

But as GTA Online loses content, Rockstar also adds it and also showcases offers and discounts for lots of its existing content too.

Thanks to GTA Online leaker TezFunz2, here’s everything you need to know about the December 31 update.

Treasure Chests

A hot new addition to GTA Online is the promised Treasure Chests. It had already been noted in the challenges that Treasure Chests would be a thing, and now they are here.

Here’s what we know about them:

  • They are located on the island
  • Can only be found during the “Scope Out” mission
  • There are 10 different locations
  • Only two chests can be opened a day
  • Each chest contains $15,000

So always be on the look out if you want to score some extra cash.

GTA Online Diamond Casino Lucky Wheel Reward

To try and maintain the holiday spirit, the Diamond Casino & Resort has updated its Lucky Wheel car with a new prize in the form of the fast, Omnis sportscar.

The Omnis is worth $701,000 and here’s the official description of the vehicle:

The Obey Omnis was the poster child of the golden age of rallying, a period of deregulated innocence when a turbo-charged tin can could plough through a crowd of spectators on a muddy embankment and there wasn’t a damn thing the government could do about it. This is one for the fans.
