Cunning Stunts, DD Heists and both Casino updates. Cunning Stunts is my all-time favorite, because it added racing vehicles with liveries and it forever changed race track creation, in a good way. I do agree it may have overshadowed standard street races, but I can kind of forgive it for happening.

Easy answer for me.

All 3 heist updates. OG, Doomsday and Casino.

Bikers: it delivered on most of the stuff the MC community requested along with bringing great businesses to the game. Almost all 40 of my outfits (male and female character) are wearing bikers clothing.

Casino Heist: just a great way to make money and its kept my interest on the replayability aspect. Also some quality of life updates with the MK2 nerfs and passive nerfs.

After Hours: god I hate that goddamn flying bike but the sales of this update are god tier. Always one vehicle. The nightclub is fun af and I love doing the popularity missions. Makes me feel like my character has retired and just runs a nightclub now. Business battles remind me of the early 360 days of the crate drops for the beer hats.

Standard Deluxe 59

1. Import/Export

60 car garage, nuff said

 

2. Casino Heist

I can solo the preps, do them in invite only sessions and only need one other other person to complete the heist itself.

 

3. Arena War 

Yeah I actually like the arena war update. On top of the 27 new spaces added and very well modelled selection of cars, the workshop also led me to be able to put Benny wheels on any vehicle I wanted through the greatest glitch since frozen money, the arena merge glitch.

1. Cunning Stunt
(I still play pretty much exclusively stunt races since that dlc got released, also the pre-nerfed RE-7B, oh my god that thing was epic, rip what could've been the start of 'hypercar' class)

2. Doomsday heists
(NEW HEISTS?! and they're actually difficult even for end-game level characters? f- yeah)

3. Casino heist / Casino update
(MORE NEW HEIST?! a bit easier but the whole 'pick your own approach' thing is great, casino is pretty nice too (sad how its bscly empty 95% of the time these days though) and i also love how we got basically every video game ever mentioned in any GTA as an arcade machine now, hope to some day complete the collection wit QUB3D)

 

 

I wanted to include the Open Wheel Series stuff, but then i remembered how sh*t that actually is with no rammer/blocker protection (while of all places some arena war mode have rammer/blocker protection..) and how the speed of the cars is way to limited for their insane handling, i wanted to like the gamemode but having tried it like 30-40 times now, just naw man, i get to rage enough about rammers in other race gamemodes, i dont need them to be even more effective.

# Import/Export

# After Hours

# Diamond Casino (not the heist)

 

I'm a solo player - forced co-op or adversarial updates do nothing for me.

1) Import/Export update

 

Pretty much my most favorite themed update was this one, centered around stealing and driving cool cars in a update that brought a bunch of great to play with, and also brought us the most badass garage in the entire game - I don't do I/E anymore because I don't hav the patience to deal with NPCs, but otherwise the update is still my favorite one.

 

For me, this was when the game had reached its peak.

 

2)Heists

 

The first actual big update which was purely PvE only, for the time the missions were actually fun and engaging(albeit being seriously frustrating at times) and the payouts were very nice.

 

The vehicles were sort of nice, the Hydra was fun, the Savage was fun, the Insurgent was fun, the Armoured Kuruma was fun...The rest was pretty meh though.

 

Getting that Criminal Mastermind Challenge is one of the biggest accomplishments I did in this game.

 

3)Casino Heist

 

Really not on par with the other updates as the game had already changed so much, but this update in itself is great because it gave the best active money maker in the game that is the Casino heist which I usually grind solo even with randoms(it isn't hard to do unlike Doomsday and the OG heists).

 

The vehicle additions were nothing sort of incredible, I think only the Nagasaki Stryder and the Rampant Rocket are boring but that's because I'm not that much into bikes anyway.

 

And then there's the F1 races, which are my favorite type of races added to the game in a while, I just wish they were better executed.

1. Original heists. It's why I bought into online and it didn't disappoint at all. As said above, completing that criminal mastermind was the best feeling I got from these.

 

2. Casino heist. I love how flexible and more player friendly this heist is overall. It's a good way to make money, but regardless of the cash, it has great replayability too.

 

3. Doomsday heist. At the time it blew my mind we were getting new heists, and three new criminal masterminds! These heists aren't without fault though, but I loved them as a PvE/co-op player.

 

Honourable mentions are: I/E, proper GTA and a huge garage for my office, lol. Cunning Stunts, just good fun. And Arena War, although the progression system is bollocks and broke my love of completing DLC, it is a good laugh to play.

 

I could easily get something from each DLC though, which is a very good thing. Now if only RDRO could buck up! 🤣

Yeah I know what you mean with the difficulty differences,

I remember the first time doing Doomsday with a group of og heisting friends. We started it all cocky thinking this will be easy, how wrong we were lol.

 

Then when casino came out I thought I had learned my lesson with Doomsday so on my first run I expected it to be the hardest thing ever, but to be honest it is the easiest heist of them all except maybe the Fleeca Job.

Same for me it is on par with the WR laptime (which I only got because I got on early when the open wheels races were released) the only Tatoo I use even tho I do not really like tatoo's :)

 

I did mine when I started my 2nd character, I just wanted to get the unlocks for the Kuruma, Hydra etc.

But at the time I had a group of dedicated heisters to play with so in the end we decided I would host a Criminal Mastermind as a lvl12 :).

lol the original intention was for my new character to pay back the loan she got from her sugar daddy og character with the 12 million, but she never paid it back and spent it on herself.

In fact my og character has since retired from the gta life,

But she while setting up her new life would steal his cars and sell them, she even swapped all his properties for cheaper ones and pocketed the money in the end, she is a bit of a btch tbh.

1) Smuggler's Run. I just love flying. (Also the best soundtrack.)

 

2) Doomsday Heist. Played the absolute crap out of that one. (Not Bogdan though. Never glitched it.)

 

3) Casino Heist. They pretty much perfected the heist format with that one. (2) and (3) are very close for me, but I give the nod to Doomsday because I prefer the weapon and vehicle selection.

in no particular order :

 

-Cunning Stunts.

-Casino heist

-I&E

 

honorable mentions go to the Original Heists , F&F and maybe Lowriders (just because of Benny)...

R* messed up Arena War though, could easily have been a top 3 DLC ....

1. Casino heist

2. Doomsday heist

3. Smuggler's run

 

I was going to mention the OG heists, but I can never get a decent team, so it came in #4

I feel sorry for all new players who bought the Arena workshop thinking it was a good business / moneymaker

After hours: the story of how one vehicle single-handedly ruined a perfect DLC and broke general game balance.

The Heists update, The Doomsday Heist update and The Diamond Casino Heist update.

 

Yes, if Rockstar asked me how many heists do you want in this game I would reply with:YES

Yes, I think heists are the best thing that ever happened to this game.

 

I do think each update had a thing going for it, I'm not a car guy myself so I can't say anything about which update had the best cars, clothing wise I think The Bikers update and the Lowriders update top when it comes to clothing, weapons wise, I think Gunrunning and Doomsday Heist take the lead because of the MkII Variants, Import/Export and After Hours are special for allowing us to expand the garage space, Smugglers Run is the first update to allow us to store and customize planes (even Pegasus planes that we have owned for years before),The Content Creator update, Last Team Standing update, Cunning Stunts update, Special Vehicle Race update and Arena Wars Update are all in one category for me, they enabled us to play some aspects of the game differently because of the gamemodes that they have brought themselves as well as allowing us to create our own stuff.

 

I'm editing this to say that The Content Creator update was a very major update to this game, because of it we can create a boatload of content, of course not all of that content is good, but there are decent creators out there that are taking advantage of what they are offered within this tool, hopefully they think about the Mission Creator and give it to us at some point.

Same here hahaha, we ate so much sh*t so many times in a row xD

Its kinda why i like playing this heist with randoms as well, its mostly people of like rank 50 or lower, you try give them advice, warn about the heavys, point out how you have double their health because of level differences (so maybe they shouldn't run ahead and instead stay near you) etc, and they ignore it, you end up restarting 20 times and then eventually the host ragequits, i dont even mind the waste of time that is, i just low-key love how its pretty much giving low levels the finger for assuming they have what it takes to do the biggest and most difficult heist there is before they have even half of the weapons unlocked, and during those 20 restarts i still get fun PVE to enjoy anyway. While we may never get levelcaps on harder missions at least this is something i can quietly laugh/gloat about every time the above happens. 😛

Cunning Stunts - what got me to start playing online

Import/Export - 60 car garage

After Hours - Terrorbyte

 

Special shout out to Finance and Felony for getting the whole CEO/business owner thing really going.

As a passionate solo grinder my favourite GTA Online DLCs are.

 

1, Import/Export: One of the most efficient ways to make money. Prior to After Hours, I'd combine with Headhunter and Sightseer to utilize the cooldown time.

 

2. After Hours: The Terrorbyte client missions. They pay well and are quick and easy to do such as getting paid $31,000 in just three minutes of work. As someone who has all the businesses before After Hours came out and plenty of money to fully upgrade the Nightclub, I love the purely passive income I get from all my businesses. 

 

3. Diamond Casino Heists: There's plenty of ways you can do the Casino Heists thus making it replayable and set up missions can be done quickly AND in an invite only session so no griefers come after you and it can be done solo as well. They also pay really well too depending how much you can get in the vault.

 

Honorable mentions.

 

Bikers: I love the passive income you can get while you do something else, you can either steal or buy supplies and sell the product once ready. 

 

Gunrunning: Same as Bikers but has new weaponized vehicles in the game. Also made it so you can upgrade weaponized vehicles provided you own the MOC.

 

Original Heists: Heists in GTA Online got me excited when they first came out and they haven't disappointed.

 

Finance and Felony: I love doing crates missions and combining Sightseer and Headhunter to maximize profits from the crates.

 

The High Life update: Added VIP missions to earn a good amount of money.

 

Doomsday Heists: To mix things up a bit and the Bogdan finale can be done to earn lots of money although I don't intend to do it anytime soon.

3) tied between After Hours and I'm Not A Hipster,former because nightclubs are a good source of easy money (just collect money from the safe and occasionally do a promo mission),and latter had a lot of cool classic cars

2) Lowriders part 1 and 2-some cool cars and weapons,and it introduced more detailed vehicle customization

1) Bikers-lots of cool bikes, weapons, clothes and tattoos,clubhouses are great for storing and customizing bikes,and clubhouse contracts are fun and pay well

if we talk about top 3 i talk about best 3 and most worst updates in gta online :

first with the 3 best 

1-casino heist : this updates is good because return jimmy de santa to los santos also formula 1 cars the pr4 and r88 sultan classic is near to sultan from gta san andreas , also the arcades is good because they have a famous games like space monkey from gta san andreas and more 

2-sass : fast cars 

3-after hours : opressor mk2 and famous djs in the worlds

the worst updates 

1-arena war : 5m for what ? for only garages and play no missions no heists no anything

2-casino : ok design is good but is hard to won a free car and u need to wait 24h in real live to spin again

3-domsday heist : ok the updates is good but 2 missions is ultra hard even if you pro in gta online the avenger setup no lights npcs over power easy kill you npcs ,the finale heist is ultra over power because npcs easy kill you even you have mg and pro is hard and long time ,also if you failed near the check point you start the heist from zero
