Next DLC Speculation Thread (Part 6)

[Sentinel Driver]

The final day of double crates and biker business ends with me having ranked up from 496 to nearly 503 and having earned over 6m in a day (I played for like 15 hours or so). I have no idea how I've managed to play this game for 15 hours straight more or less. Waking up in the morning, do a quick morning routine of showering and brushing my teeth and then hopping on to GTA to play all day. Limited myself to only one warm meal per day usually around eight to ten in the evening. Is this even normal holy sh*t

I have 9.5 million in cash alone made from all the vip work and cargo sales

I am prepared for the next dlc in every possible way

 

This is my favorite part of a new dlc. The speculation, the preparation, the hyping. It all climaxes on the release day. Then it becomes mass confusion. Everyone is eager to explore the new content, and when the new content has been covered and youtubers have released their guides on the dlc it all boggles down again to a boring dripfeed, leaving the players hungry for more dlc. Eventually towards the end of the dripfeed the circle of hype starts again.

 

I should go get some sleep

@eyman You know what, I actually didn't read that part correctly. What you said about those vehicles having (possibly) unnecessary add-ons that you can't remove makes sense to me. The Caracara is probably a damn good example IMO.

They have been doing it since the very beginning.

They did the same with the Comet Retro Custom as well, cant remove the widebody.

On topic of days since last update. i feel lucky we get new dlc every 3 months since r6 siege gets dlc at the same rate. the difference however is gta has dripfed content that keeps you playing. i cant say the same for the other title i play.

Hopefully we get double I/E or the last of the Heists tomorrow

 

Hell I'd even settle for a double weekend of one of those two things. Just give them to me!

[Maeve]

I'm fine with the widebody on the Comet Retro, RWB Body-Kits look incredibly cool. But I'm all for the addition of an original Pfister Comet Classic, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see that alongside the E-Type.

[LeakyLine]

I hate to say it, but don't get your hopes up. Rockstar almost always f*cks something up vehicle wise. Cacarra gun, that restomod bullsh*t on the Ellie, the Comet Retro Widebody, The Obey Omnis widebody...

Just don't get too excited and expect a perfect vehicle.

[Volganor]

I was curious and went back to check what weapons were in The Lost And Damned compared to the ones released with Bikers. Turns out that all the weapons introduced in the GTA IV episode also returned in Online, with the exception of the ones that already were in V/O or had counterparts - namely, TLAD's grenade launcher and automatic 9mm (V's grenade launcher and AP pistol took the places of both, respectively).

 

The pool cue, pipebomb and assault shotgun (now labelled as the sweeper) made the transition, while the wrench, battle axe, mini SMG and handheld grenade launcher were entirely new. The mini SMG and the handheld grenade launcher could be understood as being even more faithful to the Biker theme than the IV's SMG and grenade launcher. I'd even say the handheld grenade launcher is a more intelligent choice because it gave bikers an edge against armoured Kurumas and the like.

 

I hope this gives better chances for the the upcoming DLC to pay the level of homage to TBOGT the same way Bikers did for TLAD, by bringing back the assault SMG (P90 version), automatic shotgun, pistol .44 and advanced sniper from that expansion. Those are very sweet weapons, in my opinion. Their addition alone would make this entire DLC for me (especially that advanced sniper ).

for some reason it took me a while to realize this. out of all of the cars theyve given us from dlc i think ive bought 1/4 of them. they just do a bad job in general but i dont focus on that too much because theres always at least one or two cars i like in the worst of updates.

 

so this update, maybe itll give us 40 cars but its not the numbers that impress me its the quality when i see it. 40 cars is nothing if 30 of them are poorly done. /shrug

We are poised to come through this more streamline and profitable than ever!

 

We're going bankrupt, you think!?

[aaron2997]

I'm super excited for this update. Already moving some cars around after hearing about the Swinger. It's just too bad I won't be getting the Guest List bonuses on the 3-9 since I'm going to San Diego.

Before the hype hits the fan tomorrow (if they actually annouce something) keep in mind that in the end everything maybe crashing down. This is Rockstar we are talking and they like to deliver amazing looking realistic steak that tasets meh at best in the long run... 
They may not open Bahama Mamas, Tequila-La-La or any other already existing club outside of some missions and we will only have those meh looking warehouses.
They may not bother improving Jester Classic outside of simple bug fixes.
This can seriously f*ck up the Swinger.
They may not add any new clothing nor hairstyles.
They may not give us any new weapons.
The nightclub bussiness may be just another reskin, with extra option to access other businesses from one laptop. 
Nightclub bussiness may in the long run make less money that it is actually worth to run it.
All the new songs maybe available only in our nightclubs (I mean it's totally not my style of music, but if they are locked behind the paywall aka cost of nightclub, cost of upgrades etc, I'll be slightly upsetti).

 

TL;DR: just expect that this update may suck, because it's Rockstar after all and they like to hit and miss when it comes to the updates.

Expect the absolute minimum of what is promised.

 

>Nightclubs, not necessarily any pre established club

>Pounder

>Somehow involving our already established businesses

 

Anything else can be a surprise when you get to it. It's up to you if its pleasant or a pain as expected.

 

Remember that they're gonna push for shart cards somehow. The easiest sell is meme machines. So if you're one to have your rectum on fire expect hellicarriers launching A-10s equipped with vtol, off radar, and orbital canon rounds... and when it turns out to be a reskinned vigilante or deluxo you won't be as irritated.

 

And if you're wanting a hellicarrier expect an armored tug

Won't you still get it if you logged in between 25/6 - 2/7?

OK I'm calling it, Auto Shotgun will be Mk. II version of Combat Shotgun, with explosive rounds upgrade available. Unmatched destructive power in close combat but a range as poor as the Mk. II pump shotgun.

 

Assault SMG will definitely be a Mk. II weapon too. Advanced Sniper would be a new weapon though I guess.

 

I agree with you that these are some very sweet weapons, I loved using all of them on TBoGT. Matter of fact, they all were my favorites and most used in the game!

If we're talking about weapons then i vote bring back the katana plzzzz

With this game's melee combat system, the Katana would be a letdown for me. Just imagine that mean weapon being swinged around just like the damn baseball bat. It would be ridiculous.

 

Unless, of course, if it had bespoke animations for it, then I would be all in for it 

[xwinkx_girlYakuza]

Imagine getting a new adversary mode where we run around armed only with a katana. Bloody!

This  Even with the sometimes laggy connection of this game I would play that right on day one!

 

What you think it would be called? First thing on my mind was "Crazy 69" but I doubt they would call it like that Haha but if you played GTA LCS you might know why that name came up in my mind!

[Jambho87]

Has anyone watched the show "Power"? I think this DLC is going to be influenced by that in a few ways because we know how GTA likes to take inspiration from popular film/tv and one of the main themes is how the main character who is a drug dealer buys a nightclub to launder his money as his empire expands (Sound familiar?)

Anyway I noticed a few episodes were about him competing with other clubs by ruining their rep,trying to book the best DJs etc and think (hope) there are going to be missions based around that ie competing with already established clubs like BM n The Vault, missions were you shoot up their clubs, kidnap djs n stuff. First comment btw new member so don't don't shoot me down in flames if this has already been discussed

I'd love some of the TBGT weapons to make a return. I've always preferred the AA-12 over the auto shotgun they gave us in V. Looks and sounds better in my opinion. The Assault SMG was originally going to be the P90 if I recall. Theres some unused beta HUD icons for it I believe.

I want the DSR-1 back. In the way of cars, I'd really love the Drop Diamond back.

Ah man, gotta love Rockstar for paying homage to two of the greatest game expansions ever via GTAO updates.

Noooooo

 

If R* adds a Heavy/Assault Shotgun Mk II with Explosive Slugs, they're going to take away the only thing that makes the Pump Shotgun Mk II relevant and useful.

 

Don't give them ideas, we know how much they like to turn previous content redundant and obsolet.

mmm thats a very plausible scenario...

 

release some vehicle that can only be customized in the moc, so you need a bunker AND a moc, air vehicles no longer stored by pegasus, so need a hangar to own it.

 

so yeah, it can happen, never though of that.
