Rockstar’s latest GTA Online content drop, “Oscar Guzman Flies Again,” has brought new arms trafficking missions and airstrip ownership to players—but it didn’t take long for hackers and modders to exploit the system. Just days after the update went live, reports from the community suggest widespread abuse is already undermining the experience.
Exploits and Chaos in Public Lobbies
PC players in particular are facing a surge in disruptive behavior, including:
- Remote access to other players’ vehicles, especially the newly released Invetero Coquette D5.
- Forced lobby crashes and spammed mission resets.
- Unlocked or duplicated airstrip assets and trafficking rewards.
- Teleportation cheats allowing modders to dominate missions or grief others with ease.
These exploits are reportedly affecting both new missions tied to Oscar Guzman and general online stability. Some console players have also reported strange occurrences in public lobbies, though to a lesser extent.
Rockstar Confirms Ongoing Investigation
Rockstar has issued a brief statement confirming that their internal teams are investigating the new wave of mod abuse. While no timeline was given, players are urged to report violations directly via the official Rockstar support channels to help prioritize fixes.
A support team member noted:
“We are aware of the malicious use of modded tools affecting recent GTA Online content and are actively working on countermeasures.”
The studio is expected to release a hotfix in the coming days to address the worst offenders.
What Players Can Do Right Now
Until Rockstar deploys a fix, here are a few ways players can protect their experience:
- Use Invite-Only or Friends-Only sessions when possible, especially on PC.
- Avoid interacting with suspicious players or vehicles.
- Backup your profile settings and avoid using any third-party add-ons or single-player mods while online.
- Report incidents using Rockstar’s in-game or website reporting system.
Another Update, Another Problem
While “Oscar Guzman Flies Again” had potential to bring exciting new business opportunities to GTA Online, the presence of hackers has once again overshadowed the launch. This isn’t the first time an update has been marred by exploits, and many fans are now urging Rockstar to implement more proactive anti-cheat systems—especially on PC.
We’ll continue to monitor the situation and provide an update once Rockstar releases an official fix or patch notes.
For now, steer clear of public chaos and fly safe.
