The Festive Surprise DLC

[Massive Roy]

 

Those dreaming of a white Christmas are in luck as the forecast calls for the extremely rare phenomenon of San Andreas snowfall to hit on a few special days this holiday season. Be on the lookout and ready to round up your Crew for a friendly snowball fight, but be forewarned, those icy little suckers can pack a wallop.

Edited December 18, 2014 by Guest

[Fozzie]

Ok, so R* left out the clothes and masks in last gen or at least PS3, but it doesn't say they are NG exclusives

[Sussus Amongus]

[aurules16]

sh*t i was like R* no snow this year??? and then i read more and came...to the realisation that snow would indeed be included on Grand Theft Auto V

 

 

 

[Massive Roy]

Reading the patch notes, it says you can store snowballs during the snowy weather by pressing left on D-pad when unarmed.. upto 9 can be stored, but they melt when joining job or changing session. should still be fun though!

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

indeed, i dont think we will get them

but yea, though i think some masks look good, they are only fun for 30 minutes

i dont need them

cheer up, we can have a 3th property....hell im flying trough the mils and i want to find a dominator now that i found a hardtop zion

[MrWuggy]

Wonder how many days of snow we'll get.

[Cavot]
