GTA Online Players Hate Bounty Missions in Bottom Dollar Bounties Update

The biggest addition to theBottom Dollar Bountiesupdate inGTA Online, as the name suggests, is bounty hunting. After following the story to start up your bounty-hunting enterprise, you can take up bounties to track down bail-skipping and lock them in!

Initially, players were excited about this brand-new update. However, their excitement turned into disappointment once they realized how tedious these bounty-hunting sessions can be. Over on Reddit,GTA Onlineplayers feel like the update is basically a“Paleto Bay simulator”.

It’s a known fact that everyGTA Onlineplayer absolutely despises anything that involves going to Paleto Bay in the game. It’s at the top of the map, and traveling there can be extremely time-consuming and draining. The area lacks the action-packed environment of Los Santos and doesn’t offer many opportunities.

For years, players have begged Rockstar Games to limit missions related to Paleto Bay. However, the bounty hunting aspect of the latestBottom Dollar Bountiesupdate seems to primarily focus on Paleto Bay. Players are incredibly frustrated with how every bounty mission forces them to travel to Paleto Bay.

What’s even worse is the fact that Rockstar forces players to make use of a slow-moving van that easily spins out and can’t even be upgraded. It’s clear that once again, Rockstar Games has failed to listen to the community and deliver what players have been asking for.

When it comes to remote locations such as Paleto Bay inGTA Online, Rockstar can add high-reward missions and lucrative businesses inGTA 6to make them even more worth traveling to. Rockstar needs to focus on giving players actually useful fast-travel vehicles and bringing exclusive content to remote areas to attract players.

While owning businesses and being CEO is a good way to generate cash inGTA Online,it can prove to be traumatizing in public lobbies. When doing missions for new businesses, players are forced to fight against other owners, regardless of their level, and compete for supplies. It’s crucial for Rockstar to haveGTA 6lobbies based on skill-based matchmaking that would make things fair.
