Grand Theft Auto Online (GTA Online), the ever-popular multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V, is receiving a thrilling new update called San Andreas Mercenaries. Rockstar Games recently announced the new update, which promises to deliver intense action and exciting new gameplay elements. Set to release on June 13, 2023, San Andreas Mercenaries will take players on a high-octane adventure as they join a renegade outfit known as the Los Santos Angels to take down the corrupt private military contractor Merryweather Security.
Introducing High-Stakes Aerial Combat and More
Merryweather Security has been making waves in the criminal underworld, crushing any rogue competition that stands in their way. As freelance professionals, players will team up with elite pilots and ex-military operators to combat this monolithic force. Led by expert aircraft mechanic and ace pilot Charlie Reed, the Los Santos Angels will engage in a wide range of activities, including stealing sensitive data from server farms, conducting raids, and eliminating high-value targets with explosive payloads.
One of the highlights of the update is the enhanced Mammoth Avenger, which transforms into an aerial command center with the help of Charlie Reed and his team. Equipped with a new Operations Terminal and weapons system upgrades, the Avenger becomes the ultimate tool for planning and executing heists. Additionally, players will have the opportunity to engage in ground operations, running valuable contraband and liberating cash and commodities from lucrative targets that are constantly on the move.
Aircraft enthusiasts will be thrilled to learn that San Andreas Mercenaries will introduce new jets with advanced features, including VTOL capabilities, missiles and machine guns. While the specific names of these jets have yet to be revealed, leaks suggest that one of them will be called the Beagle. Furthermore, players can expect a Weaponized Buckingham Conada helicopter to make its appearance, adding even more firepower to their aerial arsenal.
Brand New Electrifying Road Vehicles
Not to leave the ground-based players behind, the update will also introduce several new cars. Teaser trailers have showcased new variations of the popular Bravado Gauntlet, with one of them expected to offer Imani Tech options for customization. The Bravado Gauntlet Hellfire Electric, Bravado Hotring Gauntlet, Brenthel Industries Class 1 Buggy and the Maibatsu Monstrosity are just a few of the vehicles players can look forward to driving. These cars will be released gradually through Rockstar's drip feed process.
Improvements in Gameplay
The new San Andreas Mercenaries update will address player-requested improvements and quality-of-life features.
These include:
The ability to claim all destroyed vehicles at once through Mors Mutual Insurance

The addition of ray-traced reflections, the Career Builder, the Gun Van, the 50-car multi-floor garage, the License Plate Creator, Taxi Work, and more have enhanced the overall experience.
