1) Have plenty of in-game money

Rockstar Games has already teased many new and interesting things for the GTA Online Agents of Sabotage update. Considering the current stage of the in-game economy, these new things will cost you high amounts to acquire. Therefore, players are advised to make as much money as possible before the DLC update goes live.

GTA Online players can try making money through the ongoing heist challenge, bounty hunting from the Bail Enforcement Office, Salvage Yard Robberies, PayPhone Hits, and many other methods. You can also sell the stocked goods in your businesses to make profits.

2) Acquire the best weapons

The GTA Online Winter DLC 2024 is expected to be an action-packed update with intense gunfights and sabotage missions. Rockstar has already teased the El Strickler Military Rifle, which will be released as part of the update. While it is understandable that players are excited about the new weapon, you should also be prepared with the existing ones.

There are over 100 weapons in the multiplayer game and you should get your hands on the following ones (at least) before the GTA Online Winter DLC 2024:

• Tactical SMG
• Up-n-Atomizer
• Special Carbine Mk II
• Heavy Sniper Mk II
• Pistol Mk II

3) Collect and upgrade the best vehicles

The GTA Online Winter DLC 2024 is also expected to introduce a new fleet of vehicles in the upcoming future. Rockstar has already showcased the Bravado Banshee GTS sports car and fans are going gaga over it. However, until you get your hands on the new car, you will have to rely on the existing ones.

Therefore, players are advised to acquire and fully upgrade the following cars before the GTA Online Winter DLC 2024 is released:

• Ocelot Virtue
• Pegassi Oppressor Mk II
• Mammoth F-160 Raiju
• Grotti Itali GTO Stinger TT

These are some of the best vehicles that should come in handy during the new missions.

Rockstar has already announced that the Darnell Bros. Garment Factory will introduce some new missions. To enjoy them fully and without any distractions, you should clear the ongoing tasks ASAP.

Otherwise, you may get reminder calls and messages from the pending jobs. The GTA 5 update today has already allowed PlayStation players to pre-load the GTA Online Winter DLC 2024. Therefore, you should be prepared too.
