I feel like people post stuff like this to keep me trapped in the casino forever. Chasing the proverbial carrot. El Rubio is funneling my characters gambling addiction

Also love to see the C-5 Galaxy, it may be a bit smaller then a Cargo Plane, but be a good alternative to it, like how our Submarine is smaller then the one used in the Doomsday Act 2, just smaller but still does the same feature

It's possible they could let us stay in a camp, or use a warehouse, instead of the Brickade, and perhaps just use the Brickade as a mobile living quarters of sorts, we'd have to see.

 

There'll be a warehouse/acid lab where can produce stuff as well as the back of the Brickade 6x6 as a mobile alternative

 

[RoadbreakerGTA]

An updated Titan based on a blend of both AC130 and the C-17 Globemaster as well as a much bigger one called the Goliath which is based on the C-5 Galaxy, just add onto my ideas few posts ago

No trailer cause perhaps they are holding back on the surprises. For LS Tuners we got a trailer and tonnes of info about the LS Car Meet. However, they never mentioned the Auto Shop business until launch day with a new trailer on the robberies. If I didn't see the leak on the night before, would have been a grate surprise!

 

To some extent I feel this is an extent of Bikers with the Acid Lab (or spiritual successor) and that Part 2 will focus on the city. Perhaps bringing the party to town and involve night club owners / events around the city. Other games have played on the hallucination missions (Arkham Asylum/Far Cry), interesting to see R* take on these trippy missions!

 

Edit: Brickade Acid Lab is likely more capacity for our production so we can produce more in the same time with this upgrade. Think equipment upgrade in past businesses.

So far, no trailer for the update as of yet...

I'm gonna take a wild bet that they'll pull a "Bikers Update" Trailer move

(Trailer releases a day before the update)

...but that's just My opinion

 

And as for this "Rolling drug lab" i hear so much about, i hope we get an abundance of RV options, base vehicle-wise

Either a Regera or an entirely different car that isn't a Koenigsegg, but looks remarkable close to it but different in a way, like an electrified version of the SCC or something, but I do hope we get the Regera next as well as the Jesko and Gemera soon

 

It's called entity3 in the files so it most definitely will be an actual Koenigsegg and not something that resembles it.

Hey Rockstar! Follow the white rabbit! It's telling you to release the trailer!

I read that and I would love more options, but I assumed that they worded it like that because the drug lab is an "option" for the stock Brickade. As in, you bring the Pegasus Brickade to the new property, you pay and it converts to the 6x6 one with the drug lab. Hopefully you are right though.

 

Lol nah

 

The 6×6 clearly sounds like a brand new version of the Brickade with more customization options both inside and out. I don't think R* would use the original Brickade for this update in any way when they're using the back of the truck as a mobile acid lab.

 

It makes far more sense to have a separate, more deeply customizable truck compared to its original counterpart when it seems to be so central to this update.

 

Note how R* also say new here:

 

 

They're essentially advertising the 6x6 as a separate, newer version of the original Brickade.

You could ask the same question for the stun gun, no?

imo more guns that you can use to mess around with your friends and possibly randoms without killing them is great

To be fair, the term word "useless" is a broad term. For me, from a PvP standpoint the stungun is useless. Sure, it's fun to troll your friend or the enemy every once in a while but the risk of doing so during PvP is quite high. Ofcourse it's fun to mess around with non lethal weapons but they at least need to have some status effect bound to it. The stungun gets you paralyzed for a couple of seconds, the Atomizer makes you fly trough the air etc.

 

If Rockstar would make this interesting, they need to do something similar. Maybe the enemy just falls down or paralyze them in some way because it's not fun to deal extremely low damage to someone without some comedic effect to it.

if you look at the description for the sweeper shotgun, it says "how many effective tools for riot control can you tuck into your pants?" so it states this weapons is for riot control but its not non-lethal

People are blindly staring at the word "riot". What would be the benefit of a gun that shoots rubber bullets when I can just use a real one instead? If we use it to capture someone in a mission then the weapon would be only viable for that particular instance. I think we're getting a smg that shoots real bullets like you stated.

That's not the only reason, we know that CNC was supposed to return the Rubber Gun back, there was a mention of it together with the Police Rifle, both were found in scripts so it's safe to assume they wanted the Rubber Gun return and it's also a bit unique in it's functionality since it's supposed to use it's own bullet type that no other gun has (worth to note that both of these entries didn't exist pre los santos summer special, confirming it was for that DLC)

Now that we know the upcoming update is reusing the CNC assets or at least the weapons, and we have a mysterious "Riot SMG" which in this case assumed by name is actually supposed to be used for riot control, i think it really makes sense it's gonna be a reworked version of the rubber gun, i just don't want people to imagine that it's going to be something fully new and then get disappointed, just like how people expected the precision rifle to be some new kick-ass sniper but it turned out to be lame

Having useless meme smg would be a waste of resources, we hadn't got new smg for years, so yea it's most likely just a name and gun is lethal. But then again it's R*, they already shown they can add useless weapons, such as precision rifle, stun gun, emp launcher... 

As this comment says, they've been adding many useless weapons already, and based on Alloc8or's leak the only real useful gun would be Police Rifle unless Riot SMG is actually a proper SMG and not a non lethal peashooter like you say
I mean, come on, they're adding yet another taser (for what?) and a baton (all melee weapons are the same, doesn't matter if it has a cool equip animation like the switchblade, it's gonna be a copy of night stick unless they make it electric like a cattle prod or something)

Also, I love the idea of the Brickade getting an update, hope others follow suit, also love a bigger more updated modern version of the Titan that's based on its successor like the AC130 or the C-5 Galaxy, maybe a version of the Cargo Plane or the Jet as a flying MOC, so yeah

imagine we can put it in a holding pattern around LS, like maybe we could even choose the area to circle over, then walk around in the interior like the Avenger on autopilot but it's circling an area like in COD and you are just raining down hellfire

I'm reluctant to even suggest this, so I'll stick it in a spoiler. But I could see Rockstar doing this... 

  Hide contents

Seriously, you might not want to read this!

  Hide contents

Final warning!

 

  Hide contents

Doing missions for Dax etc. and collecting supplies increases reputation (experiential, you could say) , which then gives us the ability to start researching upgrades, which are assigned randomly from a pool of potential upgrades. 
And once we start researching, we have the monetary option to fast track that research. 

Bunkers Mk2 - bunny boogaloo. 
(I mean those weapon camos have to come from somewhere... right?) 

 

 

 

Unveiling that last spoiler gave me dementia

Has R* ever released a DLC trailer on Monday?

 

Like once.. way back in the day when we used to get smaller scale updates. They announced the update with the trailer though, a day in advance but other than that, unless we get a trailer with the original announcement, we're usually waiting until the update is out to see one.

[dieseltech20]

There won't be a trailer for yet another release of the same old sh*t. Do you really need one anyways? We are going to meet a new character and that character is going to give us a weak plot and an opportunity to buy a new property that will give us a new set of go fetch tasks to make "money". That character will also open up a new set of missions where we will do the same sh*t we have been doing for many years. We will get some new cars and maybe weapons on Tuesday and the rest will be drip fed for months. At the end of the day you all are just going to completely pack the bitch and moan topics full with complaints about the DLC once it drops anyways.

 

One positive is that the new property should come with more garage space to store more cars that we never use.

 

Haven't paid much attention (I'm going to play regardless and lets be honest all of you will as well) to this thread or the announcement. If what I have seen is true though we are possibly going to see Wade in addition to Ron. That means Juggalo type stuff. That part will be painful for me.

 

f*ck JUGGALOS AND f*ck ICP.

Has R* ever gon this route of being quiet with half arse details for a “December” DLC?? 

 

Import/Export in Dec 2016 got only one newswire post before release (a whole week and a half in advance) and no trailer but the newswire post had a lot of juicy information.

 

We barely got deep details for The Doomsday Heist in 2017 (besides the synopsis of the heist) but the accompanying trailer with the announcement showed off alot, plus R* showed off some of the new vehicles via images on their Twitter over the weekend before the update.

 

Arena War in December 2018 is probably the one winter update R* announced only a day in advance with no trailer and the update itself turned out to be super underwhelming too.

 

Diamond Casino Heist a year later didn't get a trailer til launch but it had juicy announcement details, a week in advance.

 

The two December updates afterwards were both well advertised and they were both massive additions to the game.

 

I think R* is just intentionally being coy with the advertising of this year's December update as everything they've said about it so far points to it being just as massive as the usual winter additions if not more since this is the only winter expansion yet to have a two part story. They most likely withheld the trailer too so as to not show much beforehand.

tbf, the contents of import export quite literally leaked damn near in its entirety on 4chan during the announcement period

It's basically a new brickade because the other one looks too small to fit an acid lab XD

remember the casino heist
?
They only gave us the artwork and the same day the dlc came out with everything and trailer
and it was a very big update

hopefully this dlc is too
even though it comes in two parts

I just noticed at the bottom of the artwork there’s a trailer with peace signs on it, and I’m pretty sure that’s Omega’s trailer (the guy from the Spaceship parts in story mode) that can be found in that trailer park near RON windmill farm. Could that maybe be a location of the update or an indication he’s returning?

The artwork and (juicy) announcement came a week before release, the trailer was shown at launch though.

Örülnék, ha behelyeznék a Railgunt az Online világba és nem csak a Bunkerbe vagy a játszható verzióba

 

I would love to see Railgun put into the Online world and not just the Bunker or the playable version
