It is that time of year again in Los Santos. The air in Blaine County is a little thicker, the enemies are looking a little stranger, and the payouts have reached astronomical levels. The GTA Online 420 Event is officially in full swing, and whether you are a veteran criminal mastermind or a newcomer looking to build your empire, the next few days offer some of the most lucrative opportunities we have seen in 2026.
The Return of the Peyote Plants
The fan-favorite Peyote Plants have officially returned to Southern San Andreas for a limited time. For the uninitiated, consuming these small, hallucinogenic cacti scattered across the map will cause your character to temporarily transform into an animal.
Whether you want to soar above Mount Chiliad as a hawk or terrorize the Vespucci Beach boardwalk as a pug, there are 76 plants waiting to be found. Beyond the hilarity, each transformation provides a significant chunk of RP, making it a stress-free way to level up while exploring the wilder side of San Andreas.
4X Payouts: The Pizza and Protection Meta
If you are looking for quick, reliable cash, focus on the 4X GTA$ and RP bonuses currently active.
Pizza Delivery: It might sound like a humble side hustle, but with a 4X multiplier, delivering hot pies is surprisingly profitable. A single set of five deliveries can net you over $80,000—perfect for newer players looking for an entry-level grind.
Hunting Pack (Get Lamar): This classic adversary mode has returned with new maps. Escorting Lamar’s LD Organics van under heavy fire has never been more rewarding.
The Big One: 10X Rewards on April 23rd
Mark your calendars for Thursday, April 23rd. In a rare move, Rockstar is ramping up the "Smoke on the Water" delivery work to a staggering 10X Payout. This is arguably the highest multiplier we have ever seen for business-related tasks. If you own the Smoke on the Water property, make sure your delivery vehicles are ready to roll the moment the clock strikes midnight on Thursday.
| Activity | Reward Multiplier | Why You Should Play |
| Stoner Survival | 4X GTA$ & RP | Survive 5 waves for the Sasquatch Outfit and $420,000. |
| First/Last Dose | 3X GTA$ & RP | The best time to experience the Acid Lab storyline and get paid. |
| Short Trips | 2X GTA$ & RP | Play as Franklin and Lamar in these iconic co-op missions. |
Don't forget the Weekly Challenge. By completing just five waves in the new Stoner Survival mode, you will instantly unlock the exclusive Sasquatch Outfit and a cool $420,000 bonus.
Between the 10X payouts on the horizon and the surreal fun of the Peyote Plants, this is one of the most unique event weeks in recent memory. Los Santos is at its most unhinged—don't let the smoke clear before you've claimed your share of the millions.
