The Career Builder feature introduced with the next-gen edition of GTA Online allows players to set up a specific career path across four major options.

• A new side activity in which a shipment of Special Cargo will arrive outside the Warehouse on a daily basis for immediate delivery to the docks.
• The wide range of Source Missions will include two new sources of Special Cargo.

Bikers

• Clubhouses that have access to the Custom Bike Shop will be able to customize customers' bikes to their specifications for money and RP.
• Two new Clubhouse Contracts are available for completion and can be found posted on the meeting room wall.
• A mission to restock the bar for some Clubhouse patrons is another way to make money.

Gunrunners

• Players can make a daily delivery to a certain Ammu-Nation store to get additional income.
• There will be two additional resupply missions.
• Additionally, players will be able to contact Agent 14 while on the move to advance their research.

Operation Paper Trail

Agent ULP will contact players for Operation Paper Trail, a new series of Contact Missions. This set of missions may be performed by 1-4 people who will be sworn in as IAA agents to investigate the local petrochemical magnates, the Duggans. The Duggans are the main suspects in the case of rapidly rising oil prices, which is a major plot element in this DLC's story.
