The new GTA update adds a set of 6 new Undercover Missions, called "Operation Paper Trail", that present the opportunity to be sworn in as special IAA agents to investigate a criminal conspiracy.
The sudden spike in gas prices has caught the attention of the IAA, who suspect the corrupt Duggan petrochemical family is rigging the system in their favor, and they’re going to need you to help them put the pieces together.

Released on August 11, 2022
Collectibles: Buried Stashes

Released on August 11, 2022
Random Events: Smuggler Plane & Smuggler Cache
Keep an eye on the sky, as rumors abound of a smuggler plane issuing a distress call. If the plane goes down, opportunists should scour the wreckage for any illicit prizes that may have been on board.
And if you notice a flare billowing smoke up into the sky, make sure to investigate and follow the trail: a mysterious benefactor has stowed smuggler caches in remote areas of Southern San Andreas, ready to be plundered.
Released on August 18, 2022
Collectibles: LD Organics Product
Lamar’s venture into the cannabis industry has hit another snag: a delivery of exotic flowers from Liberty City went missing, and now there are 100 bags of LD Organics products strewn about the greater Los Santos area.

Random Event: Crime Scenes (Service Carbine Components)
Word on the scanner is that the LSPD is spread thin trying to stem the tide of rising lawlessness, especially amid a rash of violent crimes. Leads and suspects are slim to nonexistent, but the city still allocated resources for cops to park next to chalk outlines on various scenes of the crime around town.
No one’s nailed the evidence down, though, so if you keep a low enough profile, you might be able to walk away with a piece of the new Service Carbine Rifle, plus a GTA$ and RP bonus. Gather enough components and you will be able to assemble the new weapon all for yourself.
Released on August 25, 2022
