Top 5 things to be prepared for GTA Online Summer Update 2024

1) Duke O’Death

If Rockstar follows a similar pattern as last year and introduces a new set of missions in GTA Online Summer Update 2024, players are going to need a vehicle. Not just any type of ride but one that possesses both power and usability and Duke O’Death is one of them. It is a two-seater armored muscle car based on the 1968–1970 Dodge Charger.

According to Broughy1322, the automobile can reach a maximum speed of 114.25 mph (183.87 km/h). However, the best part about owning Duke O’Death is its excellent durability, which allows players to ram and push other rides off the road while somewhat protecting the players from bullets.

The Duke O’Death is available for free from the Warstock Cache & Carry website.

2) Acid Lab business

With the GTA Online Summer Update 2024 rumored to add new purchasable assets, it’s best to have a business you can always rely on. Despite being added in 2022, the Acid Lab business is still one of the best businesses to own in Los Santos. With its help, one can earn around $250,000 with a fully-stacked Acid Lab every time.

There is also not much investment needed for it as players can complete all First Dose missions to unlock the business and get it ready by paying a small sum of $750,000 to Mutt.

3) Mammoth F-160 Raiju

Apart from getting a suitable vehicle for getaway purposes, it is highly recommended to get an aircraft too, because you never know when you might need one. The Mammoth F-160 Raiju is one of the best aircraft ahead of the GTA Online Summer Update 2024. The one-seater military VTOL attack jet seems inspired by the Joint Strike Fighter.

Possessing incredible performance, the F-160 Raiju can go up to a staggering speed of 232.50 mph (374.17 km/h), making it one of the fastest things in the game. Its built-in machine guns with explosive rounds are perfect for annihilating the targets whenever required.

The F-160 Raiju aircraft is available from Warstock Cache & Carry for $6,855,000-$5,141,250.

Rockstar is definitely pushing the GTA+ membership on the road to Grand Theft Auto 6. The upcoming GTA Online Summer Update 2024 is guaranteed to give Plus subscribers a brand new DLC supercar, Overflod Pipistrello, for free. This immediately makes the subscription a must-own thing to take full advantage of the summer bonuses.

Apart from the free automobile, the members can expect a new set of bonuses to claim, possibly related to the new set of missions. The usual monthly Plus benefits will also be available allowing the subscribers to get an advantage over the non-subscribers.

The Plus membership is available for $7.99 per month.

5) Unholy Hellbringer

Last but not least, players need to get a weapon that can help them get out of difficult situations, and Unholy Hellbringer is one of the best ones before GTA Online Summer Update 2024. It was added to the game in 2019 as part of the Arena War update; however, it remains quite popular among the fanbase for good reasons.

Unlike most of the other weapons in the game, the Unholy Hellbringer is a plasma rifle that has an ammo capacity of 9,999 and a damage rate similar to that of a Combat MG. It is quick.

Players can collect it from either Agency Armory or Gun Van (if available) for $449,000.
