The weekend is almost here, and Rockstar has selected ten more fan created jobs to keep you busy in GTA Online, running the gamut with races, deathmatches, and capture jobs.
GTA Online Gets a Bit of the Business, and a New Title Update Offers Some Adjustments
A post over at the Rockstar Newswire had all the details, including one for all you coprophiliacs. I know you're out there. Please wash your hands.
Details below:
* The Los Santos Riots - A hugely enjoyable Deathmatch in the residential alleys of Strawberry. Creator (and part-time Twitter philosopher) TIdoubleGGRR has placed emergency vehicles and burnt out buses throughout the landscape. The rallying cry is loud and clear: "Wake up, grab a fistful of steel to raise hell on the streets of South Central Los Santos and take the power back!"
* Criss Cross Dock Race - Wolfman211 does his bit for Queen, Country and the English Pride Crew with this 8-player Land Race around the docks that picks up directly where previously Verified Job "4-way Madness" left off. With an interconnected network of paths and ramps amongst the shipping containers, Criss Cross Dock Racepresents plenty of opportunity for mid-air collisions, head-on crashes and awesome drifts.
* Welcome To LS - Assassin2071, a member of both the Creators Core Club and the GTA Content Creators Crews gets a first Verified nod with this high speed super car race at Los Santos Airport. Wide sweeping turns around the terminal approach roads allow you to keep pedal to the metal for much of the course. That is, until you meet one of the two tricky hairpin turns. Brake hard to get through these cleanly and the checkered flag will be yours for the taking. Watch out also for tight spots between the pillars - the slightest jostle from a competitor can send you to the back of the pack.

* Stream Racer - Refuso has picked out two quiet, bucolic streams in the Vinewood Hills unsullied by the dirty denizens of nearby Los Santos and decided to careen down them in noisy Sanchez dirtbikes, as seen above. The result is a thrilling white-knuckle ride that requires wrestling your ride like a bucking mule through the overgrown bushes and tricky terrain.
Lobby hosts should be sure to leave traffic turned on for an extra challenge on the on-road section that transitions between the streams.
* Strong Hold - This is a classic two team 'stronghold' map, with a fortified structure in the center and team start points on either side.
The team to hold the fort has a defensive advantage but powerful weapons litter the grounds to help attackers flush them out. Created by 420RayRay1983.
* Chickin' Drifting - 2 Mile Lap Divided set the standard for Races that double back across the length of an entire bridge. STOFFER22 has taken that concept in a new direction via careful placement of chicken sheds along the bridge over Lago Zancudo. The layout beckons players to practice their bob and weave all the way along the bridge and back. A smooth satisfying curve can quickly be brought to an end if you spin out. Not to worry if you fall behind, there's plenty of options to exact retribution by cynically smashing into the leaders.
* Bad - San Andreas - eMonstar420 of the Ganja Outlaws, who are shortly to be featured on the official Rockstar Games Twitch Channel Crew Battle series, has created a tight and technical Race through the car parks of downtown Los Santos. An elusive and difficult course that will throw you off guard just when you think you've got it nailed.
* Ew, You Stepped In Dooody - Someone had to go there. Scatalogically minded Social Club member IckyDoodyPoopoo has put together this well-constructed land race, seen above, using the on and off ramps of a couple of Freeways in downtown Los Santos.
A highly technical course that will test your ability to brake late, drift smoothly and accelerate out of each turn. As you check out your opponents in the rear view mirror, don't forget to watch out for that doody.
* The Academic - On Twitter, Fachuro identifies as "a GTA Race creator". With 63 Races created across both platforms, as well as a Rockstar Verified achievement, who can argue? The Academic is a lap Race for Coupes through the faux-Spanish architecture in Rockford Hills. With little room to overtake, be sure to maximize the speed boost from the starting grid, and line up a slipstream on the wide downhill sections to slingshot you around the final corner of the lap.
* Hold: The Watch Tower - The Watch Tower is a game of two halves - first, in four teams of 2, all players must attack the central area where the Capture bags are protected by heavily armed militia in strategic positions. Working with the opposition teams may be the only way to breach the defenses.
Then, once the militia have been defeated and all the bags are in play, the game becomes all-out-war, as the above shot demonstrates. Base defense will be key to prevent your hard-won bags being recaptured by the opposition. Created by Barisico.
In related news, Rockstar recently provided the release date for GTA Online's "High Life Update," which is set to release next week. More details on that here, and if you're looking for assistance on making your Capture Jobs a bit better, we've got you covered.
