Heists Update



The Heists Update is an upcoming content update coming to Grand Theft Auto Online in early 2015.

The Heists Update will allow players to plan, prepare and execute multi-tiered Heists across Los Santos and Blaine County through a series of new missions organized by Lester Crest and a Heist Planner. These will require tight communication and coordination, with players taking on specified roles at each point to accomplish multiple objectives on the way to complete the Heists. The update will feature new vehicles, weapons & clothing.

Vehicles
New vehicles include a jet fighter similar to the Hydra, an unnamed attack helicopter (possibly the Hunter or beta Hind), a unnamed sports bike made by Principe, a helicopter similar to the Maverick or Armadillo with side mounted miniguns, a new version of the Kuruma, based on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X and an unnamed APC/armoured SUV which appears in two variants. There is also a custom Karin Rebel that has a mounted machine gun on the truck bed. A large aircraft carrier is also present, and is most likely used to carry aircraft like the P-996 Lazer and Hydra. The Cargobob is also seen with a magnet attachment.

Weapons
A flare gun was seen in the trailer, alerting the attention of a helicopter pilot. A drill was also seen drilling into a bank vault.

Clothing
Many new clothing items were seen in the trailer, such as new masks (gas mask, paper bags, balaclava), new clothing (biochem suits, military gear, garbage men gear, LSPD uniform), bags: (duffle bags), night vision goggles, gloves (latex gloves), and some new body armor.

Missions
Several new missions are set to be added, and will be Heist oriented. They are not all listed and they are also speculative;
 * A Prison Bus bust mission similar to Bust Out but more advanced.
 * A mission involving raiding and attacking the Dignity.
 * A mission involving robbing the Great Ocean Highway Fleeca Bank and using a Kuruma and a Cargobob to evade the police.
 * A mission involving stealing fighter jets from an Aircraft Carrier, one of them is the Hydra.
 * A mission (possibly a prep mission) involving dressing up as garbage men with a Trashmaster. As shown in the trailer, this mission invloves Ron.
 * A mission involving robbing the Pacific Standard Bank.
