GTA Online: Smuggler's Run

GTA Online: Smuggler's Run is a content update for Grand Theft Auto Online, released on August 29th, 2017.

Description
"With a name that’s a nod to an early classic from the Rockstar Games catalog, Smuggler’s Run opens up the air corridors above Los Santos and Blaine County, providing new business opportunities while introducing a range of planes, choppers and even ultralights as highly viable options for transporting criminal cargo across the state – simultaneously opening up some creative new methods of dispatching any rival gangs along the way."

- Rockstar Newswire.

The update has the GTA Online Protagonist working with Ron Jakowski to smuggle contraband across San Andreas.

Content

 * Aircraft Hangars have been added to Grand Theft Auto Online. Players can purchase a hangar on the Maze Bank Foreclosures website and choose from 5 locations. Hangars can be customized with a choice of modifications and add-ons such as a hangar style, lighting, floor graphics, office furniture, living quarters and an aircraft workshop and mechanic. Hangars come with space for up to 20 of a player’s personal aircraft and an office with a computer that is used to manage the Air-Freight Business.
 * The Air-Freight business has been added to GTA Online. The Air-Freight business is managed with the Free Trade Shipping Co. app on the computer in the hangar and allows players to source and sell cargo. Players must first complete a setup mission to get the business up and running. Once set up, players can then begin stealing cargo which can then be sold for a profit.

Vehicles
17 new vehicles added:
 * 14 are aircraft
 * 3 are land vehicles

Character customisation

 * Over 500 new items of clothing and outfits have been added to Grand Theft Auto Online (including a new helmet, reminiscent of the FAST ballistic helmet, equipped with headset and night vision, as well as a mounted flashlight) for male and female characters.
 * Over 30 new tattoos have been added to GTA Online.

Special Tops

 * Black Rockstar Camo Tee (August 29th, 2017 - September 4th, 2017)
 * White Rockstar Camo Tee (August 29th, 2017 - September 4th, 2017)
 * Razor Tee (August 29th, 2017 - September 4th, 2017)

Jobs/Services

 * A new Adversary Mode, Motor Wars, became available.

Weapons

 * No new weapons have been added in this update, however players can now kill themselves with the Pistol Mk II via the Interaction Menu.

Others

 * Owners of the hangars in Fort Zancudo have a low-level clearance, meaning they will only be allowed to access the area with no trouble. However, anything beyond this low-level clearance will result in a wanted level, though it will only be a two-star wanted level instead of the usual four stars.
 * A new “Formation Flying Assist” option has been added to the Interaction Menu for VIP/CEO Organizations and Motorcycle Clubs.
 * Flares fired from the Flare Gun now attract nearby homing missiles.
 * The new Havok helicopter has been added to the list of vehicles available to VIP/CEO Organizations and MCs. Like the SuperVolito, its SecuroServ variant will always spawn with a matte black and dark red finish.
 * The SecuroServ Buzzard Attack Chopper now sports black-tint windows.
 * Multiple new MC and CEO Styles have been added.
 * There is now an updated podcast by Ron that can play on Blaine County Radio Community Hour. It makes various references to events during Grand Theft Auto V's timeline, Grand Theft Auto itself and events such as snow in Los Santos during Christmas events and switching characters. It also stars a guest, a right-wing activist named Sophia Bowles-Carmichael.
