GTA Online Los Santos Drug Wars DLC: Everything players need to know about it
Download Size
As this GTA Online DLC has been released on multiple gaming platforms, players can expect the size to be between 2 and 13 GB. However, it might be possible for some players to get bigger-sized updates depending on their consoles.
Ray - Traced reflections and shadows
Ray tracing has become a significant part of the gaming culture, with every AAA game giving players options to turn on ray tracing when they play the game.
Rockstar Games, with this DLC, have successfully implemented Ray-Traced reflections and shadows in GTA Online, which has been getting a lot of positive reactions.
This is well worth having, as GTA Online is almost a decade-old game, so getting better graphics is always a welcome change.
New vehicles
Car enthusiasts should be more excited about this DLC as after its release, many new cars have already been added to Grand Theft Auto Online, and more are expected to drip-feed in the next few weeks.
Currently, the following are all of the new cars added with this DLC:
- Annis 300R
- Overflod Entity MT
- BF Surfer Custom
- Zirconium Journey II
- Declasse M-100
There will also be a free car called the Declasse Tahoma Coupe, based on the third-generation Chevrolet Monte Carlo and a lowrider.
New Story missions
These Story missions are collectively called the "First Dose," and they have been added with this DLC. There are currently six missions that players can do, and this entire thing is just an introduction to an overarching two-part story Rockstar Games has created.
Thus, players will be introduced to fan-favorite character Nervous Ron and a new gang about to start their own drug dealing business.
Grand Theft Auto Online players will play a key part in these missions and may even take part in running a drug empire.
Economy Updates and more
There are many other minor things that Rockstar Games will improve upon or change with this DLC. Such as the various economy updates that will permanently triple the rewards players get from Smuggler's sell missions.
The value of shark cards is also going to increase. Furthermore, the iFruit app has been shut down, and Rockstar Games is creating an alternative method for customizing license plates in the game. Agatha's Casino story missions can also be done solo. Thus, players can expect to earn more money from this series of missions.
