Rockstar announced a big new DLC expansion today for their popular online multiplayer mode.
It’s all included in the latest GTA 5 update, which is now available to download on PS4 and Xbox One.
As confirmed by Rockstar, this new patch looks to expand the in-game Race Series, while also adding new vehicles to buy and more features to use.
The massive GTA Online The Southern San Andreas Super Sports Series update adds five new vehicles, Racing and Adversary Modes, as well as more background tweaks.
The Declasse Hotring Sabre headlines the new vehicles, which can be used in the new Hotring Circuit expansion.
Hotring Circuit (1-30 Players) – It’s the moment every stock car Racer lives for. You accelerate into the corner, the track banks up to a near vertical, and somehow you’re held in place by a combination of pulverizing downforce and hysterical fear of death. Now throw in a few turbo strips and a wildly uneven surface, and you can really test that will to live.
The full list of high-end vehicles that have been added to GTA Online:
- Vapid GB200
- Vulcar Fagaloa
- Declasse Hotring Sabre
- Overflod Entity XXR
- Cheval Taipan
It should also be noted that Seven Classic Racing Suit Outfits have been added to clothes shops in GTA Online.
The new features coming to the game have also been confirmed by Rockstar, and can be found below:
Multiple additions and changes have been made to the Creator:
- A checkpoint option to have aircraft spawn in VTOL or Hover mode has been added to the Race Creator.
- The Creator Prop limit has been increased from 150 props and 20 dynamic props to 200 props and 20 dynamic props.
- The ‘Weaponized Vehicle’ class has been added to the Race Creator and contains multiple existing vehicles.
- Insurance premiums for Weaponized Vehicles are now capped at $ 10k instead of $ 20k.
- New item stars now no longer appear for various vehicle modifications.
Rockstar are also adding new tools and updates for the Creator coming later this Spring, including more weather options, custom team names and Warp Checkpoints for Transform Races, as well as a number of other highly-requested features.
Changes have been made to the way that Kill/Death ratio is updated in response to deaths resulting from use of the ‘Kill Yourself’ Interaction Menu option.
The damage increase given by Hollow Point Rounds against unarmored targets has been reduced when used with the Heavy Revolver Mk II.
Other new modes are also being launched at a later date, with the Target Assault Mode arriving on April 3.
The ultimate playground for wheelmen and sharpshooters alike, Target Assault demands a mastery of both. A frantic race for up to 8 teams of 2 players each, where Gunners are tasked with destroying targets to score points from a mounted gun, while the Drivers outmaneuver the opposition for further points on each lap.
On May 1st, dodge underwater mines, glide over scenic raceways and boost through air gates as you take on 10 unique new Special Vehicle Races featuring the Deluxo, Stromberg and Thruster from The Doomsday Heist.
Then, seven new Transform Races are making their way to GTA Online on May 29th – featuring a slew of new and classic race vehicles across a fresh batch of challenging courses.
