Arena War https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/1751/8f32490c-f2df-4aac-af58-42d3a8413a00/image.png Enter Arena War, where ruthless gladiatorial combat meets the bleeding-edge of vehicular modification technology in one spectacular – and highly combustible – competition. Sign up and embark on an entirely new career under the stratospheric dome of the Maze Bank Arena, one that involves turning your opponent’s brains into pulp on the steering wheel in the name of entertainment, courtesy of Alan Jerome Productions. Compete in all new vehicle types custom built for the Arena across seven explosive new modes. As your Arena War career progresses, you’ll earn Arena Points and use them to rank up and unlock even more toys to take into the Arena or out onto the streets. Arena War is coming tomorrow, Tuesday December 11 to GTA Online.

Seems cool I guess, but.....I'm a cowboy now.

Huh. Neat I suppose. They must have seen the profits from GTAO falling off for RDR2, but that isn't in full swing yet either so drag out one more content update for GTAO. Put RDR2 on PC, then I'll take an interest there. And even better, be a bit less of a scumfucking company.

There's been Maze Arena collision data in the files since launch IIRC. Bunch of stunt tracks and such.

I wonder if the announcer guy in the artwork will be the same guy that did the announcer voice in GTA 2. That would be pretty awesome tbh.

Can't say I have much interest in this update especially if it ends up being focused on PvP gameplay like I think it will be. I guess we have the opportunity to get some cool vehicles, but if the SC launcher can be exploited to download the update early, we'll see all the vehicles in a bit.

I kinda lost interest in GTA Online when Nightclubs added the be-all end-all to game balance. Seriously, the Oppressor MK2 would just be a better Deluxo if you coulden't spawn it via the MC menu. Any future combat-ready vehicles are obsolete on entry. remote control RC cars with mines is at least cool

Does anyone else worries because what ill happen if those weaponized vehicles gets released and into the hands of trolls and try hards ?

I don't see how this update would be any different from the last two years or so of GTAO updates.

The car collector in me wants to come back, especially for the Nova, Chevelle, Impala and freaking XB Falcon, but the costs as always I don't think are reasonable enough for me to reinstall this freaking 80gb+ game.

I've got to say, I fucking love the new clothes in this update. Finally, the post-apocalyptic hellscape of GTA online can finally be reflected in my outfit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxjW2QyVa-s

Ok, they're really going full Saints Row now. https://twitter.com/FoxySnaps/status/1072506035854868480?s=19

I'm sure that people are just lining up to take his video that he has to put two fucking watermarks on it

Foxy posts everything earlier, so yes, people probably would steal the video.

Honestly GTAO is so far gone from what it originally used to be like that I welcome this nonsense. Online is chaos, might as well go all in and kick it up to 11.

So the new clothes are amazing. Honestly, I kinda love this stuff. I never was bothered by the divergence in to absurd vehicle and weapon bullshit. Go crazy.

I dont remember how much cash I even had, I doubt I can get more than one outfits worth

https://i.imgur.com/sVHtZSX.jpg Its fucking goofy and I love it.

If they retcon all the events of GTA Online in future games, I'll be so disappointed. From here on out, San Andreas needs to remain a hellhole controlled by criminals

im getting mad max vibes from this update

Foxy is likely a QA tester, most leakers are and they just know how to cover their tracks really well.

Rockstar uploads the actual DLC to their servers a few hours before they actually release the update. If you have the SC version of GTA V, there is an exploit to download it early(I don't know the exact details of how to do it, but it must be easy since several people on GTAF do it). You can only look through the files with OpenIV or find a way to get the models in to singleplayer though since tunables don't update until the update drops. As for being able to buy dripfed content early, I assume there is some fuckery with tunables involved similar to the early days of GTAO when people were able to do shit like enable snow for their sessions. I don't know how Foxy would do this without being banned, but Rockstar's anti-cheat is fucking garbage so it wouldn't surprise me if there was a way for random people to fuck with this shit without consequences.

This update added a few interesting little details, such as adding the ability to wheelie with ANY Muscle car. This means the likes of the Minivan, Slamvan and Faction Donk can wheelie. Unfortunately wheelie bar cosmetic bumpers aren't functional and just clip into the ground. To wheelie hold down the handbrake, then hold down the accelerator, release the handbrake and you'll rear up onto the back two wheels with varying results depending on what car you do it with. Really slammed ones like the Yosemite barely move, they just sort of scrape awkwardly against the ground and stop. Also, despite not being 'normal' cars, you can strip down the Arena vehicles to look normal, you can also name them; The Pursuit Special https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/951846798289471922/B0D7C3B6C6251FADD362B3052A113E557360B8E8/

Trans Am!

These new modes are surprisingly fun. Seems like the bike is the way to go since it's small and fast. Cars go all over the place and are easy targets.

So that means I can name my Arena car "Pee bruh"?

Went to go try the new stuff and oh, hunh, I uninstalled GTAV. Oh well, I ain't downloading all that again just to check out the new stuff for 20 minutes before I turn it off again.

Man, GTA desperately needs to bring back gibbing and dismemberment. It's so disappointing when I run over pedestrians with my mad max death machine and they don't explode like carmageddon.

The Sasquatch is the monster truck we needed. That thing just can't be stopped.
