Festive Surprise

The Festive Surprise is a content update for Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, released on December 18th, 2014 updating online to version 1.19 for PS3 and X360 and 1.21 for PS4 and Xbox One.

Description
The update features 4 vehicles including the Vapid Slamvan, a clean variant of the Rat-Loader called the Rat-Truck, a racing Massacro and a racing Jester. Over 90 new festive clothing options and 5 new themed masks are available. These are free, but available for a limited time. 30 new seasonal-themed tattoos are available at all Tattoo Parlors. Themed clothing and masks from last year's Christmas special are also available again.

Additional Features

 * Players can now purchase a 3rd property.
 * Firework Launcher and Fireworks are available from 24th December until the 5th January.
 * Deadzone and Acceleration sliders have been added to control settings.
 * Five new parachute bags were added.
 * A Christmas tree is added to all apartments and Legion Square.
 * Snowballs added whilst Snowy weather is active. These can be gathered and stored by pressing D-pad Left when a player is unarmed. Nine Snowballs can be stored at a time and will disappear when swapping sessions or starting Jobs.
 * Issues with trees and foliage not moving with the wind on PS4 and Xbox One renditions are fixed.
 * The issue where adding Turbo upgrades to a vehicle made it slower is now fixed, along with many other bugs.

Trivia

 * The fact that there are vehicles from the 30's-50's introduced/ remastered is a reference to Christmas specials such as A Wonderful Life and A Christmas Story which take place in that era.
 * It is the first update to add a thrown weapon into the game.
