Missions
Eight new missions available for Lamar Davis. Unlike regular contact missions, these form a vague storyline and will first be offered to the player in a set order (although they can still be played out of sequence by accepting invites from other players).
- Community Outreach - Each team takes a lowrider and tries to start a war between the Vagos and the Ballas.
- Slow and Low - Get some lowriders across the city to their buyers without getting spotted by the cops.
- It's a G Thing - Rescue Gerald from police custody before he's airlifted out of state.
- Funeral Party - Shoot up a Vagos funeral and steal their cocaine hidden in Hearses.
- Lowrider Envy - Sneak into a lowrider meet and destroy a specific vehicle, before stealing a second.
- Point and Shoot - Covertly observe a lowrider meet and photograph the lowriders as they arrive, before being told by Lamar which two to steal.
- Desperate Times Call For... - The team must load up into a Moonbeam Custom and eliminate various targets around Los Santos and Chumash.
- Peace Offerings - The players must steal two Buccaneers, and take them back to Benny's. The Vagos attack the area, and the team must fend them off.
Adversary Modes
Three new Adversary Modes available:
- Keep the Pace - Race around courses littered with jumps and obstacles while staying above a minimum speed.
- Offense Defense - Teams are split into Runners and Protectors. Runners must be the first to get to the end of a route while Protectors must block and run opposing Runners off the road, while protecting their Runner from the other teams.
- Relay - A team Race in which players take turns, each completing a lap before tagging a teammate. Non-active drivers wait in the pen to be tagged, while active drivers complete a lap for their team.

Trivia

- The Machete's appearance in this update may be a reference to the movie Machete, since Machete's gang owns several custom lowriders.
