It's been another busy week in Los Santos, with players getting used to the new Cayo Perico Heist update, which brought with it a new easter egg that's really freaking some players out. Beyond that, it seems like stunts were the flavour of the week, with some death-defying dives, airborne battles, and an exchange that shows that some players need to wait a few seconds before acting.
A Dive That Would Make Tom Cruise Jealous
First of all, we've got a dive from Redditor scps53770 who posted a clip on the GTA Online subreddit, showing what can only be described as an Olympics-gold level water entry. The clip shows their character diving from the top of a helicarrier, exploding it as they jump off, and then somehow regaining control of their character long before hitting the water below. Truly a 10/10 dive.

One Player Learns A Lesson In Patience
Patience is something that many a GTA Online player could learn, but Redditor Ill-Brush-3822 showcased one player who probably won't need reminding of its importance. The clip shows two players riding a jetski that's just been dropped from the sky. There's no audio, but you can tell that the player in front doesn't think they'll stick the landing, so they jump off to save their life. The player on the back comfortably slides into the driver's seat and somehow manages to survive the fall, whilst their friend gets turned into beach pizza. It's this week's top-voted clip on the GTA Online subreddit.
New Cayo Perico Easter Egg Freaks Players Out
The Cayo Perico Heist Update brought with it a new heist, and more importantly, a new easter egg in the form of the Loch Ness Monster. This easter egg can be found at the end of the update in several places, and will swim away if approached too closely. Many players clearly weren't expecting the easter egg, as the GTA Online Subreddit is full of great reactions. One Redditor, MAGE_MYST, shared their reaction, saying "What the f**k is this??? Is it rare?".
Sparrow Vs. Avenger Goes Exactly How You'd Expect
The Sparrow has a bit of a reputation in GTA Online for being a really annoying aircraft that some players use to purposefully grief other players. In this case, Redditor Lukemeister38 says, "Some guy in a sparrow was annoying me so I decided to gain some altitude and body him". The clip shows them doing just that by using an Avenger to gain some height, before flying downwards and destroying the Sparrow in one hit.
GTA 5 Is Making Rockstar $2.5 Million Every Day
This probably isn't too much of a surprise for you regular GTA Online players out there, but GTA 5 is reportedly making Rockstar at least $2.5 million every day. With that much money being earned from the online side of things, don't expect updates to slow down anytime soon, even with rumours of a sixth entry hitting within a few years.
