GTA Online Adds Pegassi Ignus Pursuit, New Heist Paintings, and Grotti Veleno GT

Rockstar's latest weekly content drop for GTA Online covers three distinct additions, each aimed at a different corner of the game's economy.

What changed

  • Pegassi Ignus Pursuit — a new law enforcement-styled vehicle described as combining high-speed performance with Pegassi's aerodynamic design. Available now from Warstock Cache & Carry.
  • The Kortz Center Heist — new Primary Target — this week's painting is Winter, Nowhere in Particular by Cornelis Mierenneuker. Additional works in the gallery include I Hear Voices and I, Fruit.
  • Fine Art Collector / Elitist Tier perk — players who reached the Elitist Tier retain access to The Outcome of Endeavour, described as Guin's surrealist masterpiece, on their first heist attempt.
  • Weekly bonus — a hefty unspecified bonus applies to the first Primary Target sold after completing the heist; completing the heist without dying satisfies the Weekly Challenge and adds GTA$400,000 to the take.
  • Grotti Veleno GT — a Super-class supercar with Italian styling, previously limited in availability, is now open for general purchase at Legendary Motorsport.
  • Acquired paintings can be displayed in a player's Mansion or sold to Mr. Faber's buyers.

Taken together, the update extends The Kortz Center Heist's rotating content while giving both vehicle collectors and supercar enthusiasts new inventory to chase.

The Kortz Center Heist Arrives in GTA Online on July 14

Rockstar has announced The Kortz Center Heist for GTA Online, launching July 14. The job centers on stealing high-value artworks from the Kortz Center, a museum in Los Santos, with two new characters — the mysterious Mr. Faber and his fixer Raf De Angelis — serving as the primary contacts.

What changed

  • Art Studio expansion: Mansion owners can invest in an Art Studio, which unlocks a counterfeiter NPC who crafts forgeries to swap for the real exhibits during the heist.
  • Gear and loadout system: Equipment and tech accumulate in the Art Studio over the preparation phase; players select a custom loadout from that stockpile before the Finale.
  • Crew flexibility: The heist supports solo play or a crew of up to three additional players. The source notes that extra players may allow the crew to escape with more.
  • Social feature: Mansion owners can invite friends to tour the Art Studio, consistent with how other owned properties function.
  • AI Assistant: The Mansion's AI Assistant is described as useful during the heist, though specifics are not detailed.
  • Mansion entry point: A limited-time bonus GTA$ offer is available for players who do not yet own a Mansion; the Richman Villa in Vinewood Hills is specifically noted as nearby the Kortz Center.

Raf De Angelis acts as the on-mission point of contact, delivering reconnaissance and intel throughout.

For players invested in the Mansion property line, this heist deepens that content loop — tying ownership, preparation, and crew coordination into a single structured job.
