GTA Online has several one-time rewards that can be completed at any Rank,which are good ways for new players to get the money they need to begin theircareer. By doing all of them, you can earn GTA$1,250,000 in total, which is agood amount of money to help you get started.
Double-Action Revolver Challenge: $250,000
After you play in a session for a few minutes, you might receive an email fromvanderlinde@eyefind.com in the game, which tells you to find a treasure usingthe attached picture as a clue. This is the Treasure Hunt mission. Aftercompleting it, you can get the Double-Action Revolver, and once you have made50 headshots using the revolver, you will receive a $250,000 bonus. You don’thave to target other players, as killing NPCs counts for the challenge.

Tips
When you are doing the Treasure Hunt, do not leave the session until you haveunlocked the Double-Action Revolver. Otherwise, you might need to start itover from the beginning.
The Treasure Hunt is easier to do with a helicopter. If you don’t own one,you can steal one from LSIA or Sandy Shores Airfield.
You can complete the headshots in a Mission where you will never get a WantedLevel, such as Pier Pressure, so your work will not be interrupted by theCops.
Stone Hatchet Challenge: $250,000
You might also receive another email from Maude, a Story Mode character whogave Trevor some bounties to capture. She’s offering similar things to youthrough the Bounty Target missions: you get five bounties to collect, and onceyou have completed all of them, she will give you a treasure’s location whereyou can find the Stone Hatchet. Use it to make 25 kills, and you will get$250,000. Similar to the Double-Action Revolver challenge, taking out playersand NPCs both count towards the required number of kills.

Tips
There’s also a small additional cash bonus for completing each bounty. If thetarget is captured and transported to Maude alive, you will get $10,000; itthe target is killed, it still counts towards the five bounties, but you canonly get $5,000. If you have time, you should consider capturing them alivefor more money.
If you choose not to kill the bounty targets, be sure not to use powerfulweapons or make fatal shots. You may shoot theirlegs and feet with the Pistol, use dull melee weapons, or possibly use yourfists.
Your progress on the Bounty Target missions will be saved when you leave thegame or switch to a new session, so you don’t have to complete all the fivebounties in a row.
Like the Double-Action Revolver challenge, you can complete the requiredStone Hatchet kills in a Mission where Wanted Levels are disabled.
Navy Revolver Challenge: $250,000
Navy Revolver is the third weapon with an associated cash bonus. UnlikeTreasure Hunt and Bounty Target, the mission for obtaining the Navy Revolver ishidden. You need to discover five different clues in the map, and kill the LosSantos Slasher who is waiting to take you out for knowing too many secrets,then get 50 kills with the unlocked Navy Revolver to receive the prize. Again,you can take out both players and NPCs for the challenge.
Note that the condition of completing the Navy Revolver challenge is lax: itjust asks for 50 kills, unlike the Double-Action Revolver challenge, whichrequires 50 headshots.
Upon killing the Los Santos Slasher, you receive $50,000 immediately. Theremaining $200,000 will be deposited after you get 50 kills.

Tips
Like in the Double-Action Revolver challenge, finding clues is easier with ahelicopter, and the kills could be done in a Mission with Wanted Levelsdisabled.
Your progress of clue discoveries should be saved when you leave the session.
The Los Santos Slasher is a tough guy, so prepare to kill him with a powerfulweapon.
There was a bug in GTA Online before that prevented players from receivingthe $200,000 reward after getting 50 kills. This issue should have beenfixed; however, if it still occurs to you, please immediately take ascreenshot showing the problem and contact Rockstar Support.
2-Step Verification Bonus: $500,000
Launched in March 2019, the Social Club 2-Step Verification Bonus gives$500,000 to anyone who enables this extra security measure for their SocialClub account. As of now, there is no information about this bonus on Rockstar’swebsite, but as of June 2020, I heard that players could still claim thisbonus.
The Rockstar Support website has anarticleabout how to enable 2-Step Verification for your Social Club account.
Tips
After you set up 2-Step Verification, it might take a few days for the cashbonus to be deposited. Should you haven’t received the money for more thanone week, please consider contacting Rockstar Support.
If you don’t like 2-Step Verification, you can disable it after receiving thereward.
