Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 6)

[DangerZ0neX]

I think it's safe to say that the update will be here by the 10th of July.

 

Don't like the sound of picking up the DJ from the airport, though. People will be using Deluxos to skip over terrain, and it's bound to be a griefing zone in heavily populated sessions.

10th of July looks more and more like it. Kind of relieved tbh, really didn't want to wait all the way until the 17th.

Pick him up in a Nightshark or a Stromberg, then

A Nightshark can't survive more than eight rockets, so that's off the table.

 

The point is, fighting over one DJ is stupid. Why this specific DJ? What's so important about him?

Unless R* forces you to pick him up in a specific vehicle.

 

He demands to travel in style, that's why you have to use the Post OP van.

Actually, a Nightshark can survive a whopping 27 Homing Rockets (from both the Homing Launcher, Deluxo, and Oppressor Missiles), but only 5 standard RPG rockets. 

 

And I agree with you, it's completely pointless. It's the same to those who blow up Vehicle Cargo, despite the fact you don't get any reward. Just... why? 

 

 

It would be a completely other scenario if we had to pick him up in a van with all his self-owned DJ equipment, though.

Gun fights in the clubs? Yes or no?

Nah, just you wait, you have to pick him up in the stretch, or the stretch 2.0, now with homing missiles

Speaking of Stretch, I have a hard-on for the Stretch E.

About the Pounder Custom:

 

Since the Newswire only mentions “business deliveries”, I wonder if we’ll be able to sell several product at once, like 3 cocaine and 1 weed businesses in one go. That would be something. Imagine selling 3 or 4 cocaine businesses at once during a 2x event... nice. Too bad I only have one business of each. I wonder if I should buy more.

I forgot to mention I was talking about the Pounder Custom lol

You can only own one MC business per production line; one Meth, one Weed, ect.

[Mach1bud]

Lol yeah if we could do that I would own like 20 cocaine labs.

[Fatsanchez]

@Classique Oh ok thanks, I dont know why I thought otherwise.

 

Yet it must mean that we’ll be able to sell several (different) product at once using the Pounder Custom.

The real pounding question is will it be for nightclub specific sales, or the management feature as well? Someone mentioned the R* jinx yesterday... I remember when the Hunter was revealed in the SR trailer, joking that it would be last in the dripfeed... welp that totally was the case. Watch what you joke around about folks, R* may see it and implement it just to spite you (only half joking with that last part).

 

Still most excited at the prospect of the SSASSS cars potentially being fixed. The Swinger is what has me most excited content wise, if they show any JDM or muscle in the next post that hype is subject to change.

I love how we already have an MTL delivery truck for crates and yet that won't suffice for this next DLC. Of course.

I suspect that it'll be because instead of the default company logos that come on the regular Pounder, the Pounder Custom will have the option to put things on specific to your club or organisation.

 

That, and quite probably performance upgrades, armour, and all that kind of thing - in general, R* seems to be moving away from the Pegasus approach, and having all vehicle types with the option to store and customise them, not just spawn stock NPC ones out of thin air.

[IceMan56]

maybe there is a party bus variant of the pounder?

Dashound Custom would be more suited for that.

Well, according to Fun, it's only 50%. Pastebin says the same

Yeah and he's very credible, but I'm amazed people take the word of a person more than the company who made the article and is advertised it. 
Imagine if Rockstar released a trailer saying the next update was going to be the Naval DLC instead of Nightlife but you say "well Yan has said it'll be something else" - would you still believe Yan over the Rockstar created publication? 

And by the way it's almost impossible to be right about everything, pretty sure Fun's stated stuff before that wasn't accurate (and he won't be the only one). 
The only way to find out if research is going twice as fast or 50% faster, is to time it with a stopwatch I'd guess. Don't think anyone's going to be that pedantic.

I hope that this update brings a new, profitable and fresh breath of air to the constant monotony of grinding businesses with the money laundering thing

Yep, Pegasus is dead.

 

The last new Pegasus vehicle we got was the Dune rally truck almost two years ago.

 

 

The Lazer is a Pegasus vehicle because it was already in the game for years & they saw it as an opportunity to squeeze more $$$ on the cheap without having to redo it like the Daemon.

What was changed in the tunables, an hour ago?

I think a background script was added.

My guess is to fix a money glitch

Guessing it'll be an MOC-like, too, considering it's:

 

- "highly customisable"

- meant to help with business deliveries, so probably has specific functionality beyond generic personal vehicle stuff

- needs to go somewhere, and is almost certainly going to be too big to fit in a regular garage slot

 

So at the very least, LSC-style customisation and a dedicated storage space as part of the larger club building - beyond that, possibly the same website-based 'modular' approach as the MOC and Avenger, although probably not with things like guns, living quarters, etc. (although who knows, considering this is R* we're talking about... ).

The frozen money glitch was fixed before that, though...

[Redmone]

Uhhh anyone been seeing those weird rockstar messages saying GTA VI 2019?

[Red Lynx 23]

One minor thing on my wishlist. The ability to block calls. Mostly on account of buying seventy five thousand dollars worth of supplies, and shutting down my Weed Farm immediately. That was to stop Long John Teabag from bothering me every five minutes. If we can block callers, then I could turn that into product and sell it & still never hear from him again.

You're right, but considering R* barely ever tells us anything, listening to reputable leakers/insiders/data miners is better than nothing.
