GTA Online Adds Niko And Claude's Outfits From Old Games

thegamer.com:

Grand Theft Auto Online rolled out the Mercenaries update today, bringing with it new quality-of-life options, an alternative sprint control, and updates to the Creator. But what Rockstar kept quiet was that it added a few more easter eggs from past GTA games, as you can now pick up Niko's outfit from GTA 4 and Claude's outfit from GTA 3.

This was shared by Rockstar-dedicated Twitter account Ben, or @videotechx. They shared four screenshots of them in Ponsonbys wearing Niko and Claude's outfits, as well as Franklin and Michael's. You can also pick up Trevor's, as the GTA 5 trilogy's signature clothes are now readily available in the store.

Niko's is called "The Hired Gun" and, to unlock it, you need to "Complete Tier 4 in 25 areas of Career Progress". Claude's is "The Silent", and to gain access, you have to "Complete Tier 4 in 20 areas of Career Progress". Franklin's is "The Hustler", and requires the same but for ten areas, and Michael's is "The Mr. Slick", which asks you to do it for five areas. Ben didn't show off Trevor's, but it looks like it's called "The Unbathed".

These new clothing options are exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S - you can't get them on PS4, Xbox One, or PC.

Previously, if you wanted to bring any of the classic GTA protagonists to life in Online, you'd have to find close equivalents and make do with what was available. There were entire guides and YouTube videos breaking down the most similar items of clothing in GTA 5 to that of Niko, Claude, and Tommy. For the former, that usually meant buying Worn Chocolate Slack Boots and Navy Tracksuit Pants with a Charcoal T-Shirt and Brown Leather Jacket. It
