The Contract DLC - other details
The Contract DLC for GTA Online is primarily focused on Franklin Clinton's firm, F. Clinton and Partner. It is supposed to be a unique agency that offers its services to the Vinewood elite. These services usually include their unique ability to solve morally dubious problems without dirtying their client's hands.
According to reports, the Agency is supposed to be a purchasable property although this hasn't been officially confirmed yet. The storyline of the DLC features Dr. Dre losing his mobile phone that contains his upcoming music. Players will have to retrieve this particular phone, which will take them on a journey through San Andreas.
The Contract comes with several characters as well as features. Apart from Franklin and Dr. Dre, The Contract also features Lamar, Chop, and a new character called Imani. The update also comes with unique new weapons and vehicles, and Rockstar will be revealing more in the coming days.
