• GTA Online: After Hours - General Information & Leaks
    26 replies, posted
Since we have an entire section for this game, I figured it'd be worth making a thread for providing information/leaks on the next update so it doesn't eventually get buried(I know that the main thread isn't too active, but I think it'd be nice to have all this information in one place). Unfortunately, this post will look a little incomplete as we don't have much information to work with other than what Rockstar has mentioned or shown off. I hope to edit it and make it as complete as possible when new information is available. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FBipicBoJg After Hours is a GTA Online update releasing on the 24th of July that is themed around nightclubs. In this update you will be partnering up with Gay Tony to run a nightclub in Los Santos. These nightclubs you operate will be hosting DJs such as The Black Madonna, Tale of Us, Solomun, and Dixon, but these nightclubs will also be able to be used as a front for various criminal activities. General Information This section will be a bit broad for now until we get more confirmed information. You will be able to purchase nightclubs(no shit). Nightclubs interact with older business/warehouse work. It is unknown what kind of interaction is there. This update has new music fitting for nightclubs. The DJs mentioned earlier are contributing to the list of songs, but it can be assumed that there are other artists as well judging by the music from the first teaser(I do not know if the song in the main trailer is from one of those DJs as well). This music will most likely be on a new radio station, but I'm not going to underestimate Rockstar's stupidity so I won't rule out the possibility of it be restricted to nightclubs only. Signing in each week while the Guest List is active will allow you to get access to various discounts, t-shirts, liveries, and free money. I do not know how long this lasts or if people will have an opportunity to get on the Guest List/get the Guest List content if they didn't make it before. The new nightclub property may also have space to store some more personal vehicles. Vehicles Ocelot Swinger The Ocelot Swinger is meant to be a sports classics car with liveries. The current guess is that the vehicle shown off in the trailer with the Ocelot livery is the Swinger: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/58128/52868544-1113-4275-be0c-afe8dadde2de/swinger.png MTL Pounder Custom The Pounder Custom is a weaponized version of the Pounder that already exists in game. We see it with rockets in the trailer: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/58128/a9faeb42-d241-4dc4-ba25-de37520c522c/poundercustom.png Mammoth Patriot Stretch The Patriot Stretch is pretty self-explanatory, it's a limo version of the original Patriot. Originally leaked through files used for the loading screens in GTAO, the trailer confirms that this vehicle is actually going to appear in the update: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/58128/d87fa641-d39c-4148-aa0e-70966f5c3be5/patriotstretch.png Dinka Jester Classic(?) The Jester Classic seems to make an appearance in the trailer that is very different from what we originally saw when it was meant to be in the dripfeed of SSASSS. Unlike the broken and disappointing mess we saw in the last update, this new version seems to have liveries and more customization available: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/58128/7db3afc2-9442-43b0-9b43-e7d77024d0c3/jesterclassic.png Blimp A blimp makes an appearance at the 0:15 second point in the trailer. It is unknown if it'll be something that can be used in freemode whenever or if it'll be restricted to certain activities. No point posting an image because it's a fucking blimp and you should know what that looks like. Unnamed Weaponized Vehicle A new weaponized vehicle armed with a gun similar to the Weaponized Tampa's minigun makes an appearance in the trailer. At the moment, I have no idea what it's called and I think its only appearance so far is at the scene with the Flash GT falling off of a truck: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/58128/32e3a899-27eb-456b-a618-16ae6b86ad9e/unnamedtruck.png Possible New Car A car that looks somewhat like the Mamba makes an appearance in the garage shot. I'm not sure if this is a completely new car, a custom version of an old car, or a car that already exists. It's hard for me to tell what it is, but this is what it looks like: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/58128/1ab728e3-c7f2-4900-ae27-aa299f296424/unnamedcar.png Party Bus Thing A party bus thing makes an appearance in the trailer. I imagine it'll probably just be for a mission, but you never know: https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/58128/99b0e9b8-d018-4258-b34a-61d70898618a/partybus.png Leaks I warn you that everything listed here is unconfirmed and should be taken with a grain of salt. If you expect everything in this list to be 100% confirmed, you are a fool and you have only yourself to blame if you end up being disappointed. With that said, I'll be listing everything significant that I have seen/heard: After Hours is meant to be two updates combined(nightclubs and business consolidation). This information suggests that this update might be rather large. Found in .json files used for the loading screen in GTAO, a few new vehicles were mentioned in upcoming Guest List events: Mule Custom, Speedo Custom, and Enus Stafford. One Guest List event suggests that we will be getting a free Nightshark and Revolter. Rockstar fucked up recently and pushed out a tunables update that had a lot of stuff that shouldn't have been there. People managed to find out that there is an upcoming vehicle known as the Terbyte and that several base game vehicles would be available for players to buy. The base games vehicles found were the Futo, Hearse, Ruiner, Prairie, Serrano, Habanero, FQ2, and the Patriot. It is unknown if these vehicles are being made available randomly or if there is a greater purpose for them in the future(Benny's possibly?). If you're looking for more leaks or sources, you can check this post in GTAF's Next DLC Speculation Thread. It has a list of a bunch of leaks and they're pretty much all sourced. If you have any information that you'd like to add here, feel free to post and I'll try to edit it in. I also apologize if this thread looks like shit, fails horribly, or is missing some basic stuff. This is the first time I've made something like this so don't expect it to be amazing.
oh hell yeah, what looks like a nightshark-ish vehicle with a pilot-drivable turret that doesn't blow up in a single boom? Think I may need more then 7-10mil for this expansion...
Can't wait for this DLC, I wonder what the business consolidation is going to look like
I'm just excited for more cars and (likely) even more garage space.
Remembering The Ballad of Gay Tony in combination (and, of course, comparison) with GTAOnline just makes me sad. Gotta replay that again
Anybody wanna bet that the music in the trailer is gonna be part of the update's soundtrack?
hopefully the cargo supply after the consolidation will be easier to handle and you won't need to travel 5 minutes to get back to the club from your hangar/bunker/biker clubhouse
I wonder if the turret in that armored van thing will be controlled by the driver like the weaponized tampa. There's nobody in the passenger seat, and there's no gunner on top.
god I hope. Id love for a Tampa that can take at least one rocket to the face. I am sitting on 10.81m for this DLC after selling everything in my bunker, drug warehouses, crates and smugglers run cargo. #AmIDLCReady ? (no)
So, at which time do updates usually come out? For those who play in console, if I leave my PS4 on rest mode and the update comes out later that day, will it automatically "trigger" the download or do I have to turn it on, download it, then switch back to rest mode?
For me over here on the west coast, they usually come out around 3AM, so probably about 5AM for you. As for leaving your PS4 in rest mode? idk, automatic downloads on PS4 are hit or miss for me. I left my PS4 on all night before one update launched, and when I woke up the next morning, it still hadn't downloaded despite having my system set to automatically download updates. I guess it's worth a try?
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Di2XDucXcAE-q-d.jpg:large Oh dear lord. It begins.
I'm just gonna link the GTAF leak thread for now since things are kinda coming in at a slow rate: [Screens UP] After Hours Early Content Dumps & Discussion
[Screens UP] After Hours Early Content Dumps & Discussion A lot more screenshots there that I can't be bothered copy/pasting. Feel free to do so.
thank god I grinded myself up to 10m. Should be enough to start out.
I've got just over $55 million. I expect to spend much of it.
The update is now live on all platforms. I'll try to update the OP as soon as I get enough information on the update's content and how it works.
https://i.redd.it/31obnho46vb11.png You know what? Fuck this.
i'll atleast be happy if it goes down in a couple explosive round hits
I've updated the post with information on the nightclubs and how they work. It might be missing some information and has some parts that are speculative. If you have any information that you want added or corrected, feel free to let me know. I'll also try to get the dripfeed content in the post as soon as possible.
Not mentioned: You'll need something called a Terrordyne to hold it. It also costs 3mil discounted. Unless you can summon it from the quick menu (thus negating the 3min cooldown from the mechanic) then it's really not that bad.
None of these things really matter that much. Price isn't much of a deterrence for the average dickhead and while not being able to call it repeatedly through the biker menu is good, it doesn't make a vehicle that is basically the Hydra without all the downsides/counters of the Hydra something tolerable. I feel sorry for anyone who likes this game, has to grind, and doesn't know or have the access to setup empty public lobbies. Rockstar consistently looks for new ways to fuck over people who just want to make money so they can actually experience the game and this Oppressor MK2 is just another one of those things that exist purely to fuck people over.
The Oppressor was only really terrible because it could be spammed. Even so, if you have a Stromberg or even a Deluxo, you have it's hard counter. Stromberg preferably, as it can eat most of the Oppressor's entire payload, but both of them have the ability to fire rockets that it simply wont be able to avoid. Countermeasures are going to be tricky with it and give some pause, however if they're using flare then you'll just have to fire two missiles instead of one as even though you launch multiple flares, it only distracts one rocket. Chaff on the other hand... is going to be a problem.
The explosive minigun is the thing people are concerned about. It gets the ability to basically destroy anything with ease while being small and maneuverable. It really doesn't matter what you have to deal with this, if the person using the Oppressor MK2 didn't fuck up badly, you're dead.
I'm not worried about the Oppressor Mk2, because I only do CEO work in empty lobbies. In fact, I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully it's quick enough to make cargo runs a breeze.
I heard that the explosive mini gun only does as much damage as an explosive sniper the strikeforce on the other hand.....
Its also really slow. The Strikeforce seems like an improvement for greifery, but not a huge one. Infact, I think nothing will change in terms of preferred greifer weaponry.
