It’s been a while since Grand Theft Auto Online has got a major infusion of content – last holiday season’s Los Santos Drug War being the last big update. Well, Rockstar will soon be rolling out GTA Online: San Andreas Mercenaries, a fresh update that offers new high-octane jobs focused on aerial combat. As part of this, the Mammoth Avenger is being outfitted into a full-on aerial command center from which you can plan and launch heists. You can check out a quick trailer for San Andreas Mercenaries, below.
That trailer certainly had a lot of explosions, but what’s actually going on? Here’s a bit more background detail on San Andreas Mercenaries…
“Expert aircraft mechanic and ace pilot Charlie Reed is putting together a squadron of proficient aviators and guns-for-hire known only as the Los Santos Angels to take on new lucrative private work, stealing sensitive data from server farms, conducting raids, and dropping explosive payloads on high-value targets across the state.
With Charlie's help, the Mammoth Avenger will become an enhanced aerial command center equipped with a new Operations Terminal and weapons system upgrades. Plus, you’ll embark upon new ventures running valuable contraband on the ground as well as come across spontaneous opportunities to liberate cash and commodities from lucrative roving targets.”
As mentioned, GTA Online: San Andreas Mercenaries will also be ushering in a few fan-requested quality-of-life improvements. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect:
GTA Online can be played on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5. The San Andrea Mercenaries update launches on June 13. What do you think? Ready to jump back into San Andreas with the new update or does it look a bit uninspired?
