Drug War in Los Santos
Written by Denian Franks on
GTA Online has been around for nine years, but Rockstar Games keeps adding new content. The latest free update brings with it a vast new story.
In the new Los Santos Drug Wars update, meet Dax, who has ambitions to become a big name in the San Andreas drug scene. You team up with his Fooliganz cream to weed out people who want to get in the way of that dream. The first chapter of Los Santos Drug Wars, First Dose, is playable this week.
The Fooliganz team also have their own headquarters, where The Freakshop is located. You can visit that place to start new missions, take weapon workshops and customize your Mk II weapons. You also have access to the Acid Lab. In this laboratory you create drugs with the character Mutt and deliver products to customers.
Eight new vehicles have also been added. The Declasse Tahoma Coupe (Muscle) will be given away for free between December 16-18 as part of The Heists Challenge reward, but will then be given away again at a regular price. In addition, no less than hundreds of different clothing and accessories for male and female characters have been added, including 39 new (unisex) tattoos.
Like it it became known earlier the update also adds ray tracing to GTA Online. This is a technique that improves lighting in games. It is used, among others, for reflections and shadows of objects, characters and buildings. Ray tracing will only be available on next-generation consoles.
GTA 5 Update 1.64 is now available for download for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, and PC. The update is approximately 5GB on PlayStation 5.
