Gamers also get more vehicles, weapons and missions

Oct 20, 2015 14:03 GMT  ·  By

Gamers who are playing the Online mode of Grand Theft Auto V on the PC, the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 now have access to the Lowriders update, which is focused on the delivery of new options for vehicles and some extra missions that fans can play through for some solid rewards.

But the development team has also introduced a range of other tweaks to the open-world experience, and some major new features are being added to the experience.

Those who are only interested in new vehicles will need to go to Benny's Original Motor Works, situated in Strawberry, south of the Olympic Freeway, which can deliver some cool new rides and some complex customizations.

Missions linked to Lamar are also live, and gamers will be able to explore a re-organized Ammu-Nation that features a new machine pistol and machete as well as more ammunition for everyone to use.

When it comes to the Adversary experience in GTA V Online, fans can now take part in three new modes:

Keep the Pace - gamers need to navigate obstacle-filled courses while staying above a speed limit, Speed style;

Offense Defense - built around two teams playing as Runners, who need to get to the end of a route, and Protectors, with faster vehicles, who need to run the other group off the road;

Relay - a race also linked to teams where one member moves while the others are waiting to be tagged.

The highlights include 200 new weapon pickups for Freemode, more weapons in the Creator, three new player actions, and an extra option for races.

The future of GTA V is linked to the multiplayer experience

With the delivery of the Lowriders content and the associated tweaks and smaller modifications, many gamers will expect the development team at Rockstar to take a break before delivering any kind of new experience linked to the title.

But data mining of the files that gamers got access to seems to suggest that some new weapons and player masks will be introduced in time to celebrate Halloween, as will two new vehicles, including a hearse.

It's unclear whether GTA V Online will also get a major event or big price cuts around October 31, but expect Rockstar to deliver an official announcement at some point later this week or early next one.

The company has already made it clear that it put on hold new single-player content for the title to make sure that those playing the multiplayer get regular new content deliveries.

Rockstar is also encouraging the community to use the complex editor tools that it has released in order to create its own content and then share it with the rest of the fans.

Despite its age, GTA V continues to remain one of the best-selling titles of the moment, especially on the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4.
