GTA Online's Los Santos Drug Wars DLC might be the best Winter DLC to date

Until now, whenever Rockstar Games released a Winter DLC, it primarily focused on releasing new bonuses and festive surprises. But with the Los Santos Drug Wars DLC, not only is it bringing in new deals, but it's also introducing many features and story missions.

This was a welcome change that many players were not expecting to see, but now that it's here, it will likely become one of the best Winter DLCs Rockstar Games has ever released.

Rockstar Games has revealed some technical, gameplay, and story-related updates that the upcoming DLC will bring to GTA Online. One major highlight is the return of Nervous Ron, a fan-favorite character from GTA 5's single-player storyline.

Furthermore, the introduction of a new character called Dax is expected, who may likely be a Juggalo boss, considering that the Juggalo gang is an important part of this DLC.

Additionally, new vehicles will be added to the game, such as the famous Declasse Tahoma Coupe, which is sure to excite car enthusiasts. Graphical updates such as Ray-tracing reflections and shadows will also arrive with this DLC, likely to greatly improve the game's visual appearance.

Permanent increases in rewards for various jobs present in the game, such as Smuggler's Sell Missions, are also expected. As expected, this is great news for GTA Online grinders who have been eagerly waiting for this.

Once this DLC arrives, Agatha's Casino Missions can be performed solo, allowing fans to earn money in GTA Online without any help.

In general, the majority of this information is just what Rockstar Games has decided to reveal. In reality, there could be even more content to come as they have stated that this will be a multi-part DLC, with additional elements planned to be added to the game over time.

Besides all of these expected additions, there will even be a full-fledged original story mission, with many fans expecting Michael to be featured in GTA Online for the first time. While the latter is purely speculation for now, it has definitely generated plenty of hype within the community.


Conclusion
