Talk:GTA Online: The Diamond Casino Heist

Vehicle releases
I've had an issue with the way we have documented the heist getaway vehicles "drip-feed" scenario for a while now and it has come to the forefront of my mind with the early release of the PR4 into the game via the Lucky Wheel podium this week. Each of the 8 getaway vehicles (not 7) were released into the game immediately upon the release of this DLC. Their availability to purchase was the only thing that was drip-fed. Players could see and use the cars depending on what driver and approach they used in the casino heist from release.
 * Available to buy immediately:
 * Everon
 * Rebla GTS


 * Available to buy immediately, available as a getaway car immediately:
 * Asbo
 * Komoda
 * Retinue Mk II
 * Vagrant


 * Available as a getaway car immediately, released for sale later:
 * Furia (also seen in the casino parking garage immediately) - Available to buy from Festive Surprise 2019
 * Zhaba - Available to buy from Zhaba Week
 * Sultan Classic - Available to buy from Sultan Classic Week
 * Outlaw - Available to buy from Outlaw Week
 * Drift Yosemite - Available to buy from Drift Yosemite Week
 * Sugoi - Available to buy from Valentine's Day 2020
 * Blista Kanjo - Available to buy from Blista Kanjo Week
 * Stryder - not available to buy yet


 * Actually drip-fed (not seen in game until their weekly release event):
 * JB 700W
 * Imorgon
 * V-STR
 * PR4 - Available from Blista Kanjo Week (a week before released for sale)
 * R88 - not available yet

As far as I can recall, this is somewhat unique, but needs to be accurately reflected in the page content here, and on the individual vehicle articles themselves. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 22:21, February 21, 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks CamF for reminding me (on Discord) that the situation isn't unique. The GTA Online: Smuggler's Run aircraft and the Nightshark set a precedent of the way these should be documented on their individual pages under the Description heading.

I think we can still document it better on the DLC page though:

This update adds a total of 20 new vehicles:
 * 6 readily available to purchase with the initial release.
 * 8 which were mission-only vehicles until released for sale in an event week.
 * 1 of which also immediately appeared in game but was unobtainable.
 * 6 released in event weeks.
 * 1 released a week early as the podium prize on the Lucky Wheel

Looks much better and accurately informs the reader of the order in which the vehicles were actually seen in the game. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 23:09, February 21, 2020 (UTC)
