Junk Energy Time Trial is the new challenge in GTA Online that can help you sort out your fiscal condition.

It’s been almost over a decade, and GTA V developers Rockstar Games still comes up with new materials to keep players busy for days. There’s still a wide range of stuff waiting to be explored in the vast map of the game. Along with the single-player mode, GTA Online is also a treasure trove for gamers who enjoy going against other players. An array of challenges and missions can keep you engaged in the game trying to make big money. While there are many ways to make money in GTA Online, players can sometimes get a little too into the flow and spend millions of dollars of in-game cash to buy stuff. This can burn a serious hole in your in-game wallet where you can’t even afford your next purchase. However, there just might be something yet again that can help your cash reserves.

If you’re running low on cash in GTA Online, then we got you covered with all details of the Junk Energy Time Trial! While fans of other games cry foul as GTA 6 speculations are pushing other titles off-grid, here’s your chance to relive some best features of GTA Online.

What is Junk Energy Time Trial?

The premise of Junk Energy Time Trial is not unlike other race challenges in GTA Online. Like other Time Trials of the game, you need to complete challenges to win a cash prize in the game. As GTA Online is sort of an open-world multiplayer game, such challenges, and races can become extremely competitive. So you need to buckle up and put your foot down on the gas to forge ahead of others if you’re really in need of some fast cash. Since the new Junk Energy Time Trial is a challenge that’ll last only two minutes, it shouldn’t be difficult to navigate and complete for even newcomers.

Along with existing racing modes, Rockstar Games have introduced a new bicycle-based racing challenge after a long, long time. The main goal of the Junk Energy Time Trial is going through multiple checkpoints while driving a Junk Energy Inductor. While this doesn’t sound like your average race in GTA Online, there’s something that may help you win races if you’re a casual gamer. The lower speeds of the bicycle can be beneficial if you want to collect more items and prizes throughout the race. With a hefty amount of cash prize for the winner, the challenge can be great for those who don’t own any businesses in GTA Online.

What do you need to get started?

A Junk Energy Inductor is all you need to participate in the newly introduced Time Trial. It’s a bicycle that you can get for $50,000 in-game cash. You’ll also need to maintain High Stamina for the challenge.

However, it won’t be that difficult since this is one of the most natural stats in GTA Online to build up. Most players who are regulars in Los Santos know all the tricks in the book to get your stamina levels high, something that will undoubtedly help you complete the challenge.

How to find the location of the Junk Energy Time Trial?

While the location of the challenge will be changing every day, players won’t have trouble finding its location. A purple bike will mark the location where you can take part in the Time Trials. Head over to the marker with your Junk Energy Inductor and interact as per the platform you’re on and you can jump in on the Junk Energy Time Trial.

In case you don’t already own a Junk Energy Inductor bicycle, you can find one near the marked location on the World Map. So, fret not if you haven’t purchased your wheels yet. Just head to the daily location and get yourself a ride and compete with others for the first spot.

What do you need to do to win?

As mentioned earlier, the Time Trial will only last for 2 minutes. So hold onto your breath and paddle like there’s no tomorrow.

What are the rewards if you win the Time Trial?

$52,000 await you on the other side of the finish line, if you finish first that is. For a challenge that you can complete in two minutes, that’s a big load of cash. Now, since the challenge is a daily activity, you can technically make over $50k every day in-game. If that doesn’t sort out your financial problems, we don’t know what will.

Along with the cash prize, just finishing the Time Trial for the first time will get you a Junk Energy Outfit. So, it’s not all about the money: some players may want the new drip as well.
