On March 2 of this year, Rockstar Games announced the next update for GTA Online, titled “Arms Trade,” and described it with these words: “ In another major expansion for GTA Online, take on the wildest armed groups in San Andreas. This add-on will add new combat vehicles and exciting new missions to the game. Get ready for a deadly battle for control of the black market in weapons, using the most advanced military equipment».

So what should we expect from this new update coming out this spring / summer? It looks like in this update we will have to join the ranks of an organization like the militia, and not the military, as you would expect from the screenshots, which will have the ability to trade in weapons, which is the cornerstone of any paramilitary organization.

Of course, you need to understand that this is all just reasoning and ideas, so there is not that much news about the update. It is better not to think ahead, as you may be disappointed.

And so, from the side of its functionality, the new addition will be very similar to the old systems, such as updates "Big people and other bandits", "New adventures of bandits and swindlers", "Bikers" and "Import / Export". That is, go to point A, pick up or do something at point B (there will be a box with weapons or some kind of military vehicles), and then return in the opposite way, but already avoiding ambushes and traps.

In part, this can be confirmed if you look at the minimap icons in the game files:

C: \ Program Files \ Rockstar Games \ Grand Theft Auto V \ update \ update.rpf \ x64 \ patch \ data \ cdimages \ scaleform_minimap.rpf \ minimap.ytd

These icons still do not have any signatures and from this it can be assumed that they were made specifically for a future update. The names “radar_supplies” and “radar_property_bunker” suggest that you will be able to purchase the Bunker as Headquarters and carry out the delivery of weapons in the same way that was present in previous updates for GTA Online.

One can only imagine what functionality this Bunker will have. Perhaps, various defense systems or vehicles will be integrated into it, as has already been done with the Yacht, which will help make it a real military fortification.

On the subject of content, the article from Rockstar Games talked about the availability of new vehicles, but what exactly should we expect? There is already a huge variety of military equipment in GTA Online and it is not entirely clear what else can be added there. Although in the Warstock promotional image with Lifeinvader, you can find images of such military vehicles that have not yet been introduced into the game. For example, in the top row, the third is a 4x4 four-wheel drive jeep that looks slightly longer than the Canis Mesa from Fort Zancudo. In the lower right corner you can find a combat helicopter inspired by the AH-64 Apache helicopter. Although it is worth noting that such a helicopter was already in the previous parts of the GTA and it was then called "Hunter".

As for the weapons, it became known from the images of the beta versions of the update and various leaks of information that we will indeed be provided with new guns. For example, new carbines, an automatic sniper rifle, something similar to the P90 and maybe even more.

Now let's move on to the gameplay and social component of the add-on. What can we expect here? Again, here you can only use your imagination. You can imagine that you will have a more structured organization when compared to the gangs of bikers or the Chief. For example, maybe you can make an armed group out of your gang, which will have its own uniforms, emblems and colors?

The functionality of the Pegasus system will be revised to provide greater convenience. For example, you can have a garage or delivery location right in the Bunker. You can also pay for vehicles and their costs for other members of your group.

The vehicles in the new add-on can be upgraded and painted in military-themed colors so that you can fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of combat. Moreover, you can also customize your weapons, i.e. change accessories, sights and colors on it.

Now let's move on to the role of the army in the ARMS TRADING expansion, as well as its main base at Fort Zancudo. Perhaps in this update we will be able to somehow interfere with missions or public sessions of other factions.

release date

The estimated release date for the GTA Online Arms Trade update is late May or early June.

Rockstar Games has installed a multiplayer add-on on its servers. " Arms trade", The next update for Grand Theft Auto Online, gives you access to the black market for weapons in South San Andreas. Your career as an arms baron begins with the acquisition of a bunker: these underground bastions serve as your base of operations, and each is equipped with a computer terminal with which you can connect to the Disruption Logistics network.

As the boss, chef, or president of a motorcycle club, launch a prep mission to obtain raw materials, and then assign your employees between the production and development of weapons. Over time, your inventory will grow (you can speed up this process by hiring additional staff). When you're ready, deliver the weapons to interested buyers in Los Santos and Blaine County, and all that remains is to calculate your profits. To make life easier for aspiring criminal entrepreneurs, we have reduced the amount of collateral: now you only need to have GTA $ 50,000 in your Maze Bank account to register as a boss.

Along with this underground lair, you will also have access to a range of features and services. By choosing a property on the Maze Bank Foreclosures website, you can specify the design option, purchase a shooting gallery (where you can arrange competitions with 3 other players), a private room and a gun cabinet, and also purchase custom vehicles.

If you want to expand your field of activity, a mobile command post can be placed in the bunker. These massive wheeled fortresses are featured in the Warstock Cache and Carry catalog, and they can also be modified: each control panel consists of three modules, in which you can equip a command center, living room, armory and auto repair (occupies two modules), or simply storage for personal transport.

By the way, do you already have GTA 5? If not, you can play GTA Online right now for free with all the add-ons from Rockstar Games.

TRANSPORT WITH WEAPONS

A fundamentally new class of motorized lawlessness. Six Death Machines offer you a number of original solutions to destroy the enemy in any combat situation. Each sample can be equipped with exclusive modifications that you receive during the development of projects and install in a module with a car workshop.

APC: An armored personnel carrier with a turret gun, the shells from which pass through metal like a hot knife through butter. Embrasures allow four heavily armed mercenaries to fire their personal weapons, and an armored corps is equally well suited for warfare, both on land and on water. The available modifications include a missile system and proximity mines that can be dropped in front of pursuers.

Dune FAV: This lightweight armored buggy is specially designed for those preparing to meet and survive the end of the world. A machine gun is mounted on the dashboard, and this car looks so stylish that when you park at the Yellow Jack, the guys there will have to pick up their jaws from the floor. Available modifications include a 40mm grenade launcher, 7.62mm minigun and proximity mines.

Half-Track: who said that it is impossible to combine the best features of military and civilian equipment in one car? Half-Track has a cross-country ability like a tank, but at the same time it has all the advantages of a truck: simple controls, a spacious cabin, and there is enough room in the back for a psycho with a machine gun. If you want, in the auto repair shop of the mobile command post, this machine gun can be replaced with quad 20-mm guns, and even add non-contact mines.

Oppressor: a motorcycle that flies. This jet-powered hyperbike boasts excellent aerodynamics, with a powerful engine, retractable fenders for lift, and a front-mounted machine gun for fun and excitement. Not very accurate? Replace the machine gun with rockets.

Weaponized Tampa: Your familiar muscle car has been given a combat facelift, so now it sports a minigun and military-grade armor. Available modifications include front rocket launchers, rear mortar and proximity mines.

Air Defense Trailer: What you want to turn into smoking ruins with this thing is up to you. As they say, the sky is not the limit. The Vapid Sadler is used as a tractor as standard. The artillery mount can be additionally equipped with 20 mm guns or a battery of homing missiles.

This new breed of mobile weapon opens up a whole new front for you to engage in criminal activities. As you complete tasks for the extraction of raw materials and strengthen your business, you will have access to special operations that can be launched from the mobile command post. Upon completion of each transaction, you will unlock the item at Warstock's wholesale price.

WEAPON MODIFICATION (MK II)

The numerous modifications of the MK II, available exclusively in the armory of the mobile command post, allow you to gain a number of tactical advantages in battle. Pistols, SMGs, Heavy Sniper Rifles, Heavy Machine Guns, Assault Rifles and Automatic Rifles can be equipped, among other things, with new magazines with tracer, incendiary, armor-piercing, expansive and other ammunition. Add to that night vision goggles, holographic sights, thermal imagers, new grips, silencers, muzzle brakes, skins, skins, and more.

NEW CLOTHES, TATTOOS AND HAIRCUTS

Today we will talk about already one announced update, according to the developers it is planned to be released in spring or early summer - update " Trade in Cannon". Rockstar briefly described this DLC as already one major addition to GTA Online, which will allow players to engage in a battle with the most crazy and armed groups of GTA. The update will add the latest combat vehicles, exciting missions and the most modern military equipment to the game. Last week on the web, and in particular on a foreign forum, there were many rumors about a military DLC and in essence they were all confirmed, now we will discuss in detail what the update will be, relying on fresh reliable rumors and leaks.

English-speaking forums are still discussing the "Trade in Weapon" update in full, as well as all kinds of GTA 5 insiders in their own twitter accounts share their rumors and hypotheses, we have collected all the most noteworthy plums together and one of the most exciting topics of the update is the newest transport. Military equipment already exists in GTA 5, but apparently thanks to DLC "Trade in Weapons" we will see a light tank, fresh jets, military off-road vehicles and an assault helicopter.

The update should be based on past DLCs - "Bikers" and "Import / Export"

How we assume the military DLS will be based on updates " Bikers" and " Import and Export"Then there is a concept that is absolutely the same, you have to buy something like military bases, military departments where you can gather with your squad and do assignments to trade weapons. Accordingly, warehouses for weapons should appear, that is, roughly speaking, the same as biker groups or an organization. True, there is excellent news, according to rumors, this update will become more ambitious than we present it with you, then there will be real story missions with heroes, as it was in the robberies or the update " Lowriders" where Lamar gave us missions. In this case, in general, everything becomes much more exciting.

Again, according to rumors, we will be able not only to trade in weapons, but also in people, then there is to take a person hostage during the mission, and then bring or resell to the customer, this is GTA and everything is possible here. As the developers promise collectively, with the update, the game will have a large selection of military clothing, and most importantly, it is a modern weapon. It is worth expecting something powerful from the weapon, according to rumors, this is a new super-rapid-fire weapon, an explosive weapon, and also laser sights should appear. At the military bases of gamers there will be a new weapon tuning system, where it will be possible to customize everything in general, literally to the smallest detail ...

At the moment, these are all the most interesting rumors about the Weapon Trade update. The developers promised in a couple of weeks to post the latest information about the update in GTA Online, maybe that's when we will learn more about the military DLC.
