Just a plain weird word choice, again. Upgrades to... something? based on experience? Their experience? Ours? wut

Caution: Los Santos Drug Wars contains a range of wild side effects, including a new business enterprise to operate, new vehicles and missions, and experiential upgrades.

 

LOL, its just a typo by dumb Rockstar unpaid interns - they wanted to say "including a new business enterprise to operate, new vehicles and missions, and EXTREMLY EXPENSIVE upgrades."   ... but they also wanted to sound smart so they invented some words 

 

BTW this DLC is great for them to use 'police cars & equipment' they made for CnC, just simply have some kind of "Raid opposing gang warehouse" type of missions (like to lower their stats or boost yours, or just steal their chem. supplies) pretending to be police! We'll see about that

What if the reason behind the setting of the update taking place mostly in Blaine county is to reduce the load for old gen since there are plenty of open places and generally less detailing than in the city

It would make sense, also it's a natural evolution imo. There isn't many places in the city without other properties now. We've also been saying for years that other parts of the map need some love.

I know there have been some leaks here and there, so I'm trying to focus on what hasn't been revealed yet:

• 50-ish new vehicle slots

I hope that rather then extending the amount of garages players can have, that some new 20 or 30 car garages will be introduced, maybe even a 4th office garage of 20 cars. A 10-car garage is so filled these days and having a dozen garages all through Los Santos (or Blaine County) doesn't make it easier to keep track of where is stored what . . .

I think saying "50-ish" rather than eg 40-50 is entirely intentional and confirms a new storage with a non-10 number of slots. I seem to recall information about numbers of slots from this source has always been both accurate and precise.

 

4 x 12 (48) springs to mind.

Lol vegetation in those area still makes game very much unplayable so I don’t think that’s the case

Oh random predictions btw - Cayo Perico joins the creator.

Blaine County is much easier on the CPU side. Not many tall buildings, not much traffic.

 

Game runs better there on last gen consoles compared to LS.

until you star drawing vegetation, which is something last gen skimps out on

I hope Part 2 has something to do with alcohol, Part 1 is about drugs and would be fitting if the next part is about alcohol and running s distillery, it fits so well tbh, so who knows tbh

No lol, its called drug wars for a reason, we need an actual cartel update… imagine teaming up with the madrazos and taking down other cartel groups while also producing high amounts of coke, god that would be so good.

Will dropping last-gen allow future DLCs to take advantage of the next-gen consoles’ hardware?

The underlying engine is still an older version of RAGE despite some improvements to rendering and other misc. code so although yes they could do more things, the truly 'amazing' things would be for GTA VI  RAGE has come a long way since V and RDR2 shows.

Well the description implies we're gonna roam all over SA so we're gonna be back in LS somehow, somewhere.

I feel like it's gonna be related to GTA VI announcement, marketing and so on. I'm sure at least one of these future DLC's is gonna have connections to it, we already have liveries (Tuners) and so on from symbols people saw in the leaks lol.

This all sounds really interesting (particularly the Tuners liveries), although I've not heard about this before.

 

Can someone provide more information about this please?

"experiential "

 

I know it's a word, but really? That's as bad as actionable, or a commercial I heard the other day for a soft drink that said it's "sessionable". I think that means you can drink it in one go, as opposed to what, putting the top back on and finishing it later?

 

Oh well, we've known for decades the day would come when the people who got gold stars on a chart for showing up to school rather than getting detention if they didn't would end up in the worlplace one day and end up like foppish dandies. Thanks for making my game experiential Lord Byron of Rockstar. Sheesh. Where are all the cool kids?

Certain graphic designs for the auto shops introduced with Tuners were of a higher resolution than usual so dataminers did a bit of digging and found out they were taken from assets of the next GTA game, intentional or not who really knows but it's interesting nonetheless.

 

Rockstar's done that with a few other things in this game too I think, certain vehicle designs being of an absurdly higher quality than others etc.

In Tuners, one of the liveries for the Vectre (named 'Mambas 24', which is still unreleased!) has the symbol of a sports team from Vice City named Vice City Mambas - that same symbol and the team name were seen in the GTA VI leaks, on a stadium.

 

The logo for one of Vice City's transportation methods, the Vice City Metro Mule, was introduced in Arena War (hidden in a Cerberus livery) in 2018, and was also seen in the GTA VI footage leaks. There's no doubt a lot more in the game and probably will be even more as we approach an official announcement IMO.

 

This one is wilder speculation, but the two characters in the Race & Chase Crotch Rockets arcade game also seem to have some similarities to the actual GTA VI protagonists seen in the leaks, down to the default clothing of the male character.

"Experiential" 

adjective 
Involving or based on experience and observation 

 

 TLDR: 

The more missions and stuff we do, the more upgrades we get to unlock.

ive been surveying the land for potential warehouse/hideout locations and came across this in grapeseed



it looks pretty decent in size especially considering that we are getting a vehicle workshop + storage for large stuff like the 6x6 

oh and it has the word autos

I'm so tired of everything happening in the city, why don't they use more of the map so we can see different things?

 

Here is a DLC that takes place outside of the city.

 

Why in the hell are they making the DLC take part outside of the city? I don't want to have to drive all that way.

We would have the O'Neil's as neighbours there, yeah would be cool showing them who is the boss around there.

Nice place, i only know that one supply mission for the hanger takes place there but it should be no problem to remove the mission or place it somewhere else

So... it's obviously a little harder to obtain info early than it used to be, but that didn't stop me 

 

I know there have been some leaks here and there, so I'm trying to focus on what hasn't been revealed yet:

 

• 50-ish new vehicle slots
• The "Juggalo Hideout" has a Vehicle Workshop
• CnC! R* finally decided to include some of the CnC weapons, namely:
  • Police Rifle
  • Riot SMG
  • A special version of the Stun Gun, specifically for CnC
  • Baton
• Some of the mission themes: (don't know much about them, just a vague theme)
  • Cargo Plane
  • Hippy Rivals (I think this was mentioned in the Newswire as well)
  • Rescuing your cook
  • Something with chemicals, possibly explosive
  • Train Crash
  • ...and more
• Fun new collectible: Snowman 

Are these 50 slots only meant for this DLC part 1 or does it include part 2 as well?

No idea, they could possibly add more with the next part but considering they're adding 50 with this, I don't think that'll be necessary.

no such thing as too many lol

[Lonely-Martin]

Seeing R* deliberately address the payouts on the hangar business with this DLC does give me hope R* do similar with the arena rep system. Would be great to see that a bit more reasonable to rank up and unlock stuff.

 

Plus I hope this DLC comes with some in game awards to collect. Quite enjoy those.

 

But I'm still keen on those potential 50ish vehicle spots, lol. Hopefully we can store some bigger stuff like a truck and trailer, bigger things like upgrading pegasus vehicles or the like, bit of hangar storage along with regular storage to build our PV collections nicely and I'll really enjoy that let alone the new content.

Implying that people would not complain about the lack of garage space a week after the DLC comes out
