5 major additions to GTA Online Summer DLC 2024

1) Bail Bond missions

Rockstar's latest Newswire article starts by making a reference to Maude Eccles, who provides bail bond missions in Grand Theft Auto V and its online mode. It then hints at more bail bond missions coming with the Summer DLC 2024, stating:

"This summer, it’s time for some (high-value) target practice to clean up the roving reprobates of Southern San Andreas with your very own bail enforcement and bounty hunting business in the next major update for GTA Online."

We don't know if Maude will be included in this update, but it seems like we might be getting a proper replayable bounty-hunting business.

2) Vigilante missions

Vigilante missions were not brought back to the Grand Theft Auto series after GTA 4. However, it seems that Rockstar might be hinting at some new unofficial police missions featuring the custom cop cars introduced in The Chop Shop DLC. Here's what's written in the Newswire article regarding this:

"Back in town, Vincent needs help enforcing his authority without official oversight — get behind the wheel of your souped-up Cruiser and conduct a range of off-the-books enforcement activities across Los Santos."

So it seems that Vincent Effenburger will be featured yet again after being brought back for The Cluckin' Bell Farm Raid in March 2024. Players will be working for him as unofficial vigilantes in the upcoming Summer DLC 2024.
