GTA 5 DLC Beach Bum pack revealed - release date, new screenshots and mission details
Rockstar has whisked the wrappers off Grand Theft Auto 5's first proper DLC pack, the free Beach Bum pack, which launches Tuesday 19th November as part of the game's 1.06 title update. You can expect a brace of new mission types for GTA Online, a shipment of new outfits, and new weapons and vehicles that are accessible in both single player and multiplayer.
The missions include new variations on Races, Deathmatches, Parachutes, Last Team Standings, Survivals and Gang Attacks. Read about a few of Rockstar's favourites below:
"Grass Route II" (Race): In this sequel to the original popular Grass Route Race, go off-road in an epic heat starting on the North bank of the Zancudo River through the treacherous wetlands with a triumphant finish on the beach in North Chumash.
"Survival on Del Perro Pier" (Survival): Skip the ferris wheel for a deadlier kind of thrill ride as you take on waves of relentless enemies at this beachfront attraction.
"View of Vespucci" (Parachuting): This leap sends you from 2,980 feet, down towards Vespucci Beach, weaving through palm trees to land on the basketball courts of the rec center. If you've got skills, it's possible to freefall through the first few checkpoints before even opening your chute.
"Paleto Beach" (Team Deathmatch): The locals complain that not a lot happens in this sleepy town, so do them a favor and wake 'em up with a barrage of gunfire exchanged between you and a rival team. This Team Deathmatch takes place right on the romantic shoreline for 4-8 players.
"Sundae Driving" (Bike Race): Sure to be a new fan-favorite motorbike race, menace Vespucci Beach on your two-wheel rocket, taking breakneck corners as you try and best the competition.
The vehicles, meanwhile are the BF Bifta dune buggy, the Canis Kalahari off-road truck, the Bravado Paradise beach camper van and the fast and stylish Speeder speedboat, which you may recall from previous GTA titles.
"All four vehicles will be available at no in-game cost, with the land-based vehicles accessible from the southernsanandreassuperautos.com website and the Speeder available via docktease.com on your in-game phone (call Pegasus for delivery)," notes the Rockstar NewsWire.
"These vehicles are also available in Story Mode for Michael, Trevor and Franklin to enjoy - to access them, visit your garage property and the Marina property for the vehicles and the boat respectively."
There are two new weapons, the "compact yet deadly" SNS Pistol and the "brutal" Broken Bottle, which looks like it'll come in handy when somebody jumps the queue for the bar. As for the new GTA Online outfits, expect "stylish board shorts, neon surfer attire, wild tribal tattoos and shaggy hair".
