There is some good news on the horizon for all of you GTA fans, myself included. This spring, there will be some exciting new updates for GTA Online which will include new content, features and enhancements.
Here is a brief run-down of the updates that you can expect this coming spring. The information is taken from Rockstar’s News Wire
- Capture Creator: Coming next week, the Creator community will be able to make their own original customized Capture Jobs and add to the over 3.5 million (and counting) player-created Deathmatches and Races currently available on Social Club. Strategically place pick-ups, define weaponry, set location, and tweak tons of other variables to make your own unique Capture Job for others to take on. We will also be reviewing your homemade Capture creations to stamp standout experiences as Rockstar Verified.
- The High Life Update: The High Life Update will allow you to expand your foothold in Los Santos with new high-end apartment options, the powerful Bullpup Rifle, new wardrobe items, the Dinka Thrust motorcycle and three new lavish cars to choose from, including the Super class Pegassi Zentorno. The High Life Update will also feature the debut of multi-property ownership in GTA Online, which means you’ll be able to own two distinct properties (with garages) simultaneously. All this plus the new Mental State player statistic, which is designed to let you see just how passive or psychotically unhinged fellow players in your session really are, and a slew of new Jobs.
- Heists: Coming this spring to Grand Theft Auto Online, team up with your most trusted Crew members or with random other mercenaries in Grand Theft Auto Online to pull off cooperative Heist Missions for glory and profit. We know many in the GTA Online community have been looking forward to this update — stay tuned for much more information to come.
For me, the update that I am most looking forward to is the Heist missions. My only hope is that they are something similar to what you experience in the main story where you can choose your crew, your method and then gather what you need to pull off the heist. In addition, the bonus of having two apartments (or garages) at the same time means that you can purchase more cars or motorcycles. So, that means you don’t have to sell your coveted Issi or Sudan to make room for the new Adder that you intend to purchase.
You might want to upgrade that Issi after all. These are the cars that will become available with the update
Rockstar have stated that since GTA Online has launched, they have been continuously monitoring how the community is playing the game as well as the feedback that is sent in. For example, a recent update addressed the issue of how motorcycles and bikes handled while in the air. This affected those stunt goers who found it more difficult to pull off certain stunts while in the air. As a result of this feedback, Rockstar have decided to restore the original in-air motorcycle/bike physics in an upcoming Title Update. So, the feedback that we all send over to Rockstar (when we like and dislike particular races etc.) is listened to, and you can continue with the feedback by sending an email to [email protected].
Some further ongoing improvements to expect in upcoming Title Updates include:
- The addition of a ‘Non-Contact’ option for Races. This will allow you to play standard Races with collisions disabled between player vehicles. Other players will appear as semi-transparent and you’ll still be able to collide with non-player traffic, structures and other scenery, but this mode – for those who want to play it – will eliminate the “rubbing is racing” mentality that some wish to avoid.
- Players will be able to call Lester and have him tell his cop buddies to turn a blind eye to any crime you may or may not be committing for a short period of time.
- As a reward for players who leave feedback on Jobs, there will be some bonus RP granted every time a player likes or dislikes content after playing it.
- GTA$ payouts will be increased when completing Parachute, Races, Deathmatches and LTS Jobs with less than 4 players.
- As part of our ongoing commitment to target cheaters and keep the game as fair as possible, we are closing RP exploits and will be adjusting the RP totals of players who we know for certain to have gained illegitimate RP by cheating. Your RP will only be adjusted if you participated in mods, hacks, DNS redirects, manipulation of cloud files, or other similarly nefarious behavior. If you grinded short legitimate missions or otherwise gained a small amount of RP without modding, your RP should not be affected by this correction.
- We’ll be fixing the issue where players who had upgraded personal vehicles prior to Title Update 1.10 were only able to sell them for $10,000.
Keep an eye out for further additions to both GTA Online and GTA5 story including more holiday-themed updates, some exciting Story Mode DLC and more later this year.
