'GTA Online' DLC release date news: Halloween-themed updates and Batmobile clone included
Players will now be able to steal Batman's car in "Grand Theft Auto (GTA) V," as the new multiplayer downloadable content (DLC) for the game will feature a pseudo-Batmobile along with a plethora of Halloween-themed goodies.
As of Friday, Oct. 27, the new update for "GTA Online," the multiplayer mode of "GTA V," has gone online. The new DLCs will include a new Adversary mode called "Condemned," as well as a new Batmobile-esque vehicle called "Vigilante" and a player bonus of $400,000 in-game when players log-in before Nov. 6.
The Vigilante vehicle is a highly desirable automobile; it is the closest that Rockstar Game Studios will get to the Batmobile without breaking any copyright laws. Unlike other regular cars in "GTA Online," the Vigilante will have a rocket propulsion system for faster boosts and an arsenal of front-mounted machine guns, which can then be later upgraded to missiles.
The Vigilante, after being purchased, can be taken to the new Transform Race, Inferno, where the player's vehicle will be transformed between the Ultralight, the Beast, and the Vigilante. Players who participate will earn double the cash, as well as reputation in all Transform Races through Oct. 30.
Players who want the car, however, will have to work or steal hard for it, as the Vigilante will cost GTA$ 3,750,000 plus upgrades.
To earn more for the Vigilante car, players can try out the Condemned mode, where one player marked for death, with a timer slowly ticking away. Marked players must then find a way to transfer the mark to others or they will die. The last one alive will be the winner, and the mode will pay players double until Nov. 6, plenty of time for Vigilante induced carnage.
Other than that, Smuggler missions will also be available for players and will also pay double reward bonuses until Nov.6, making them the most viable way to make in-game cash, as associates in the Smuggler missions will also earn twice the salary.
The Halloween update and DLCs are now available in "GTA Online" for the Xbox 360/One, PlayStation 3/4, and Microsoft Windows.
