Most Wanted bounties are more challenging, refresh daily, and offer higher rewards, typically over $120,000 for bringing the target in alive.
Bonus rewards include escalating cash bonuses for capturing multiple targets alive: a GTA$100,000 bonus for apprehending three Most Wanted Targets, another GTA$100,000 for five Standard Bounty Targets, and a final GTA$100,000 for eight targets in total, completing the weekly challenge.

This update incentivizes careful bounty hunting with significant cash bonuses and exclusive unlocks for players who master the new challenges.
