GTA 5 Online sees 200 new weapons drop as fans count the cost of latest update

GTA Online fans will have to spend big to get the best rides

GTA 5 has seen a huge list of changes rolled out online, including new weapon options, gestures and also the new costs of the latest Lowrider DLC.

 

GTA Online players on Xbox One, PS4 and PC can now look for the 200 separate weapon pickups scattered across Los Santos and Blaine County, a new way in which Rockstar are hoping to keep Freemode fans active.

Developers have also seen fit to add option to races where the person in last place is blown up; the host can set it to be effective each lap, every 15 seconds, every 30 seconds or every 60 seconds – and the player in last will explode at the corresponding interval.

New gestures have also been added allowing player interactions for the Chin Brush, Chicken Taunt and No Way signs to be used in GTA Online.

 

Rockstar have added a huge stock of weapons around Los Santos to keep things interesting

One GTA 5 update that will probably not go down well with fans is the changes the ammo system.

Players can now quickly refill their ammo directly from the Player Interaction Menu, visiting the Ammu-Nation stores has always proved a risky move but one that could always lead to intense encounters with other players, something that is less likely to happen now.

Three new Adversary modes have also been added; Keep the Pace where players must stay above a minimum speed while racing around courses littered with jumps and obstacles. If you slow down too much, you’ll explode.

Offense Defense – Teams of two split into Runners and Protectors. Runners aim to be the first to get to the end of a route. Protectors, in faster and more powerful vehicles, must block and run opposing Runners off the road, while protecting their Runner from the other teams.

Relay – A team Race in which players take turns, each completing a lap before tagging a teammate. Non-active drivers wait in the pen to be tagged, while active drivers complete a lap for their team.

 

And if you thought that Rockstar were just making the streets of Los Santos more brutal with the new range of weapons and activities, wait till you see what is does to your bank balance.

Benny's Original Motor Works allows for deeper car customisation for a select group of six vehicles, however the costs are high.

Players must first upgrade their ride to make for the new mods and it cost me $420,000 just to to do that on the Declasse Voodoo, which is the cheapest car you can do up.

After that, the doors flood open with options to update your car, however, it's ridiculously expensive and will prove the perfect money pit for those who have been saving up after all those successful Heists missions.
