After last week's time trial event gave skilled racers a time to shine, Rockstar has taken the newest week-long event in a direction which isn't referential to any of the words in the game's name. That is, unless Merryweather has conquered the entirety of the English dictionary while we weren't looking.
While many players had hoped that after last week's rather lofty promise of a massive amount of new content-rich updates that this week would see the release of major GTA Online DLC, it was to be expected that Rockstar would get the small things out of the way.
Among others, Rockstar had announced that they will release a large-scale follow up DLC to Executives and Other Criminals. Executives Vol.2 promises to introduce a whole new player-run black market mechanic — but you can read more about that, as well as the overhaul to the Content Creator in the relevant article.
While massive, groundbreaking DLC is cool and all, it's not all GTA Online is about. Some time ago, Rockstar added the In and Out Adversary Mode to Online. Many players assumed it would be followed by a map-update, since it only launched with three playable locations. While the big announcements stole the spotlight, this was also confirmed last week.
Now that Rockstar has unveiled the new event week coming to GTA Online, we also know when the new maps will be added. Unlike previously, when DLC content was staggered compared to the launch day of its respective event, the three new maps are already available, but more on that later.
GTA Online's Combat Week, lasting from the 13th to the 19th of May, takes the focus off cars and puts it on guns. Lots of guns. Big guns. If you've been looking to expand your arsenal, or want to rank up quicker by ending lives, this event is perfect for you.
If you feel your garage needs more punch to it, Warstock Cache and Carry has you covered. A wide range of armed vehicles, such as the Insurgent, the turreted Limo, the Rhino Tank or the feared Hydra are all on sale. Any vehicle you by from Warstock will be cheaper by 25% of the total price.
