The Grand Theft Auto Online (GTA) Winter DLC titled Los Santos: Drug Wars is set to go live tomorrow, December 13, and will bring with it several new features and a new character, Dax. Speculated to be part of the Juggalos gang, not much has been revealed about Dax on the Rockstar Games website.

Juggalos are a drug dealing gang who were seen in both GTA 5 and GTA Online. One of its members, Wade Hebert, an accomplice to Trevor, was also seen in GTA 5. Dax is now highly expected to be a part of this drug-dealing gang, according to earlier leaks.


What is known so far about Dax's role in GTA Online's Los Santos: Drug Wars

Rockstar Games recently revealed details about the upcoming two-part DLC that will be going live on December 13. The first part of the update is already said to bring several new features to the game, including a new character, vehicle, and a returning character, along with other upgrades.

One of the many updates officially announced by Rockstar is the ability to hide/show contacts and sort them. This will help players in crunch situations as they can have the most frequently contacted names right at the top of the list.

Announcing the update, Rockstar Games shared the above screenshot in which Dax appears as a name on the in-game phone contact list. This isn't the first time his name has come up as an earlier leak showed files connecting an individual named Dax with the Juggalo gang.


Dax, Juggalo Boss, or accomplice

Juggalos being a drug-dealing gang in the game bodes well with the DLC name, Drug Wars. Whether or not Dax will lead the Juggalos in the new winter update, or if he will play a major part in it, is unknown. The files referencing Dax in the leaked material were:

  • DAX_OVERLAY
  • WAREHOUSE_JUGGALO_DAX

Although there's not much to go by, the leaked content refers to a warehouse, the Juggalos, and Dax. Speculation suggests that the leaks indicate that Dax owns a major warehouse in the DLC, with the Juggalos gang somehow being involved.

Some NPCs can also be seen in the official capture shared by Rockstar Games. Fans have speculated this could be Nervous Ron and Wade Hebert talking to Dax. Famous leaker Tez2 had previously suggested that Dax would be the Juggalo Boss in the DLC, working alongside another character.

The other character could either be Ronald “Ron” Jakowski or Wade, although the latter’s name hasn’t been mentioned yet and could feature in the second part of the multi-part update.
