GTA Online’s next weekly rotation will begin around 5 a.m. ET on August 20, 2026, and run through August 27. The second week of the Brand Wars Event will keep the Sprunk-versus-eCola rivalry going, while select Odd Jobs pay triple rewards. A special weekend bonus will also push VIP Work payouts to 5X GTA$ and RP from August 21–23.
The rotation will make the Gallivanter Warden available to all players. Once the August 20 reset is live, the SUV can be purchased through Simeon’s Premium Deluxe Motorsport showroom or Legendary Motorsport.
Brand Wars rewards continue
Players can claim Sprunk and eCola Bodysuits for free at Clothing Stores, along with a free Declasse Hotring Sabre from Southern San Andreas Super Autos. Logging in also grants the Sprunk x eCola livery for the Hotring Sabre and Sprunk and eCola vanity plates at Vehicle Workshops.
The event’s Twitch Drops remain active through August 26. Linking Twitch and Rockstar Games accounts, then watching selected Drops-enabled streams, lets players support either Team Sprunk or Team eCola. The rewards include the Sprunk Sweatsuit or eCola Tracksuit, plus up to GTA$2,000,000.
