The briefing
Money Fronts released June 17, 2025 as Title Update 1.71. It expands business activity around legal-looking fronts and money laundering, with the Hands On Car Wash, Higgins Helitours and Smoke on the Water forming the core network. Their legitimate work and illicit income systems are related but should not be treated as one identical job.
The update also introduced new Freemode content and vehicles. GTA+ members received the Suzume claim and early access to the Minimus and Tampa GT during the associated rollout. Early access and free claims were promotional conditions, not permanent statements about who can ever purchase those models.
Career Progress included a Money Fronts category, with the Smoke on the Water-liveried Brute Pony connected to Tier 4 in the source’s console listing. Review the business prerequisites and upgrade costs before expanding. The complete change record distinguishes persistent systems from launch-week discounts and membership bonuses.

The head of San Andreas’ biggest money laundering network of shadowy financiers - the elusive Mr. Faber - has heard about you. And with the help of Martin Madrazo and Faber's fashionable fixer, Raf De Angelis , it's time for you two to form a mutually beneficial connection. Players can start with ownership of the Hands On Car Wash in Strawberry - a seemingly innocuous business that becomes the central hub for funneling illicit income. Additional properties like Smoke on the Water (a cannabis dispensary) and Higgins Helitours can be purchased, each offering unique perks and passive income opportunities. These properties also boost earnings on your Weed Farm and Air Freight Cargo, respectively. Hands On Car Wash Strawberry - $1,000,000 Higgins Helitours Shank Street, Puerto Del Sol (Vespucci Helipad) - $900,000 Smoke on the Water La Puerta, Vespucci Beach - $850,000 Calling up Raf or using the laptop inside your fronts can launch " Mr. Faber Work " and Money Laundering missions , which include recovering stolen assets, escorting valuable cargo, and dealing with rival outfits. Laundering activities will generate " Heat " - a new system that measures the level of law enforcement attention your empire attracts. Players have to actively manage the legitimate sides of their businesses to keep a low profile and continue earning money without interference.
