GTA Online: Smuggler's Run

GTA Online: Smuggler's Run is a content update for Grand Theft Auto Online, released on August 29, 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 five 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. Completing these unlock discounts for aircraft featured in the update.

New Characters

 * Charlie Reed

Character Customization

 * Over 300 clothing items, 41 outfits, and 214 masks have been added.

Vehicles
19 new vehicles added: The update also adds the already existing P-996 LAZER for purchase on the Warstock Cache & Carry website during the P-996 LAZER Week event.

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.
 * Changes have been made to the amount of explosive hits the Savage can withstand. Now it takes one explosive without being destroyed.
 * 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.

Bug Fixes

 * Changes to vehicle downforce calculations have been made to make sure vehicle handling behaves in the same way as before the Gunrunning content update.
 * Fixed an issue with the active spoilers of the Truffade Nero and the Progen T20 vehicles moving incorrectly when braking.

Changes

Trivia

 * The name is a reference to a previous Rockstar Games title, .
 * Since Trevor Philips is mentioned to be still alive in 2017 in this content update, it can be deduced that "Something Sensible" isn't the canon finale of Grand Theft Auto V. However, Michael De Santa's fate hadn't been mentioned as of yet in Grand Theft Auto Online. Later updates confirmed that The Third Way is the canon ending of Grand Theft Auto V.
