GTA Online Summer update: latest news
More leaks are starting to surface surrounding the GTA Online Summer update, with one GTAForums user ” @alloc8or” stating the following could be arriving with the new update:
“- 26 new vehicle slots
– 2 new rifles; one is a “Tactictal Rifle”, unsure about the other one (codenamed “PRCSRIFLE”)
– as certain people have been hinting at: yes, there will be new skydiving activities which are also connected to a new “skydive” collectible
– some other certain people have also been hinting at an activity outside of San Andreas – I’ll let the reader figure this one out
– small fun fact: R* was particularly lazy this time choosing a codename for this DLC, they literally called it “DLC 1 2022”
Of course, this is all speculation at this early stage, however, if true, the latest GTA Online Summer update could come with a whole host of cool and exciting first for the game.
