A basic melee weapon with surprisingly effective damage, being capable of killing enemies slightly faster than the average Knife. | |

A small compact pistol, bearing good power but short range. An extended magazine can be purchased for it to extend the ammo capacity from 6 to 12 bullets. |
Vehicles[]
Four new beach-themed vehicles are included in the update. The road vehicles could be obtained in single player by visiting the character's garages for the land vehicles and the character's dock for the Speeder. For the first six months in GTA Online, the road vehicles could be obtained for free from the in-game website southernsanandreassuperautos.com and the Speeder could be obtained for free from the in-game website docktease.com. After update 1.13, they were no longer available for free.
