ARENA WAR UPDATE: BUZZER BEATER AND THE PEGASSI TOROS

[ALifeOfMisery]

PLUS FESTIVE GIFTS, ARENA WAR SERIES BONUSES AND MORE

 

 

Buzzer Beater is the brand-new mode in Arena War, a fast-paced race against the clock and every other lunatic in a rider’s seat where your countdown ends with a serious bang. 

 

With a looming countdown ticking ever-closer towards your explosive demise, collect checkpoints strewn across the Maze Bank Arena to add precious seconds to your lifespan. Outlast the other weasels who dare to challenge your crown and be the last rider left alive to claim victory.

 

Rev up your Western Deathbike and earn Double GTA$ & RP on Buzzer Beater as well as ALL other Arena War Series modes.

 

PEGASSI TOROS NOW AVAILABLE

 

What do a 23rd century hypercar and a family-friendly SUV have in common? More than you might think. They both turn you into a lead-footed, tailgating sociopath the moment you touch the gas. And they both do roughly the same miles per gallon as a burning oil well. With all that shared DNA, it was only a matter of time before the fine engineers at Pegassi crafted the Toros - available now at Legendary Motorsport.

 

ARENA SERIES BONUSES

The full Arena Series (now including Buzzer Beater) continues to dole out Double GTA$ & RP for all competitors, regardless of their placement. 

 

PLAY TO UNLOCK THE PEGASSI & VAPID T-SHIRTS

 

Whether you swear by American-made or dabble in Italian exports, enjoy these gratis Pegassi & Vapid T-Shirts. Play GTA Online anytime now through December 24th to receive both tees.

 

FESTIVE DECORATIONS AND UPCOMING EVENTS

The holiday season is a special time of year in Los Santos and this year all the treats are on offer: decorated apartments, the tree in Legion Square, the Firework Launcher – as well as new clothing, and a special suite of gifts when you play GTA Online on Christmas and through the new year. 

 

Be sure to log in on Christmas Eve to receive your first holiday gift of the season – which includes a new festive Sweater, fireworks and more – and keep your eyes on the skies as the experts are predicting an incoming cold front this Friday that brings with it the rare Los Santos snowfall phenomenon.

This new mode looks and sounds horrible.

 

I personally don't like the Toros.

 

Yay for new festive content (death of 'Festive Surprise' btw or what??)

Doubt I'll even try it. Big Meh from me.

 

Logged on, got the tees, Toros took its place in my Pegassi collection, logged off.

[Taterman]

Thanks for posting this.

As for the update...meh. 

[Lonely-Martin]

All good for me, more noobs to pound.

 

Though wish I had more garage space to have an SUV one. But as this creams all others, one will do. 

 

Snow and freebies is always welcome too.

[Snoopbr]

One thing I agree with the new mode: cars and bikes don't mix.

[AgentPlum]

4 weeks without internet (house move) only just downloaded this update - didn't miss much. Played for 10 mins after buying a standard workshop with no upgrades or mechanics as won't be playing any more of this garbage.

 

Back to RDR2 SP and Online (bough today) to see if I can get the hang of it! Can't see me playing much GTAO anymore

[J-Scott-D]

I get a free white Vapid t-shirt. Great, I'd prefer it in black, though.

 

My female characters get to wear their Festive Christmas PJs. Nice.

 

Not interested in the Arena adversary stuff. 

 

Bring on the snow!

[Rafae]

Said f*ck it and nabbed me a Toros anyways. Something about it is attractive to me I can't pinpoint it exactly lol

 

I can see this being fun to drive in the snow tbh.

[Bully2comingsoon]

Between customization and pricing they outdid themselves on the Toros. Up there with the Kamacho when it comes to bang for your buck.

Kamacho is a highly underrated vehicle.  

[UKPortista]

I'm pretty useless at the new mode...although I don't mind as it's more time spinning the wheel!

 

Oh and a free festive sweater to keep on Christmas Eve? Lovely. 

[Forza Harrd]

I'm still mad at Lamborghini for the Uros, you think I'd want to buy a Toros? LOLol. No.

[KineticZeroZ]

I may pick up a toros when it inevitably goes on sale, I don’t like it enough to pay full price for it.

It’s only 500k, i doubt it ever goes on sale 

[Kiethblacklion]

Basically the snow and winter festival stuff are the only interesting aspects of this week's updates.

When I log on, I‘ll buy it. But for now I‘ll stay saddled up! 

 

Thx by the way

[Lonely-Martin]

This Toros is a bloody rocket, lol.

 

It's like the Pariah in how it keeps up with some supercars. Was heisting earlier and getting the prison bus on that setup, I flew past a Turismo R.

[Anda7x]

Totally ass.

[IceDree]

Decent discounts, the 45% off the Tempesta is suddenly very tempting. Supers aren't my thing, but the Tempesta will compliment my Toros nicely.

I won't do anything rash like buying it tonight though, I'll hold off until Friday night & visit the topic again. Right now, its all about the Toros.

 

As for the new mode, f*ck that.

 Its the Q8 influence.

 

 

 It took care of all the Urus' tryhard  lines.

[kenmy13999]

I like the new car but I wish R* had the slightest idea on how to balance things..

[Shadowfennekin]

I don't really understand how this new Arena War mode works.... but I won my first game lmao

[Gridl0k]

Festive unlocks are now live

Anyone know what the 42GB update is for? Doesn’t seem like it should just be for the holiday giveaways. And happy holidays to everyone!

[XxGreyBushxX]

Free Vapid Clique today! 

[MatthewH]

I got the Slasher sweater today. Anyone else got a different one?

[Darth Absentis]

the new toros looks better then the real thing imho.
