‘GTA V’ Heists DLC Released With New Items To Aid Crime

After a long and arduous wait for gamers, Rockstar Games finally launched Grand Theft Auto V co-op heists for the online version of its open-world, highly popular crime game that involves theft, robberies, murder, and of course, grand theft auto. Speculation that gamers’ dissatisfaction with delayed release dates also means that the game has incorporated a plethora of new items that players can collect for their virtual characters in order to help them achieve their crimes and add excitement to the game.

The update is approximately 1GB on the older consoles, which may not seem like much, but is nearly 5GB on the newer systems that are popular among GTA V gamers. Those gigabytes are not just the heists mode, as it also comes with several new vehicles, clothing, and other items that make committing crimes more plausible and enticing. Of course, this adds even more content to the very busy GTA V: Online, which is a dynamic online arena where gamers must perform tasks and succeed at them in order to purchase products and “items of prestige” to show off to other gamers.

Rockstar, the maker of the game, also generates extra revenue from this appealing incentive. The selling of virtual currency that players can use to buy items and property to use within the game was found to be a huge source of income during a revenue report. Publisher Take-Two Interactives stated publicly that these options make them a significant profit and by adding new content, like the items used to aid and abet crimes in Heists, will only serve for a likely scenario that gaming revenue keeps coming in.

Some of the vehicles available in heists DLC include new helicopters, delivery vans, humvees and 4×4 trucks.

As the game becomes more and more lifelike, most players can agree it’s easy to get more and more excited and dedicated to the game. It almost seems like a personal mission: daily objective criterion have been added to GTA Online, unlocking at rank 15 in the game, a tremendous motivation for players. In addition, players will receive cash and rewards for completing all three given objectives each day if they are able to. An additional large cash and bonus may be earned for completing all daily objectives if done for seven consecutive days and then an even more tantalizing award for completing them continuously for twenty eight days. There’s no doubt to the gamers or the competition that it’s genius marketing.
