Rockstar Games continues to bring its A-game with the San Andreas Mercenaries update for Grand Theft Auto Online, fully living up to the anticipation that its announcement earlier this month had stirred.
Introduced on June 13, the update has created a lot of buzz among GTA Online players but not all of it has been good.
The San Andreas Mercenaries update offers a rich storyline focused around your squad, the Los Santos Angels, a talented crew led by the proficient pilot and mechanic, Charlie Reed. Battling against the formidable Merryweather Security private army, your squad is tasked to put an end to their corrupt practices and uphold the survival of criminals in San Andreas. The introduction of high-value contracts adds another layer of complexity, too.
Anchoring the update is the Mammoth Avenger, a giant aircraft that serves as your sky-borne command center. With Charlie's assistance, you can revamp this plane into a hub for carrying out operations and upgrading weapon systems. This approach encourages more ventures, including striking high-value moving targets for cash and supplies, further strengthening your criminal empire.
In keeping with the Rockstar Games tradition, the update introduces a fleet of new vehicles like the Grotti Itali GTO Stinger TT and Vapid Clique Wagon, plus two planes from Warstock Cache & Carry. The hint of future arrivals like the electric muscle car, Bravado Buffalo EVX, has stirred an exciting anticipation amongst players.
The new Tactical SMG, a potent fully automatic weapon, is introduced with the San Andreas Mercenaries update as well. It's the perfect weapon for drive-by attacks, expanding the arsenal of GTA Online players.
