Right on schedule, GTA Online got its most recent DLC yesterday, possibly topping off the Bikers series of updates. If a recent pattern is to be believed, next week will be a short pause in terms of content, with the week after seeing a new major update. To keep things interesting in the meantime, Rockstar added a new vehicle and Adversary Mode to the game.
Though not a bike, the all new Bravado Youga Classic utility van definitely fits the overall theme of this DLC season. Like the description alludes, you never quite know what goes on in the rear of this van unless you take a look inside — and there's always a chance that's the last peek you'll ever make. Since some of the businesses in Bikers have players cook up drugs, this is more than fitting.
Visually similar to the modern Youga — obviously — the Classic offers a much more retro look in terms of exterior design, but not much has been done with the interior. The vehicles also packs more customization options than it's counterpart, including 14 livery options. A large section of the community has a thing for a rusty aesthetic on some of their vehicles, and the Youga Classic caters to them with three of those livery options being rusty variety.
Ah, the late 60s, when utility was cool and this thing was affordable. You could never tell if the back contained a hemp-covered den of equality and recreational drug use or a mobile torture chamber for the village psycho. Or both. And that's a tradition we're proud to maintain.
In order to ride the reference-wave, so to say, two of the Classic's liveries invoke popular old-time IPs. One makes the van look like the iconic vehicle seen in the A-Team show, while another makes it look like the Mystery Machine from Scooby-Doo. Incidentally, both franchises have seen modern remakes, just like the vehicle itself.
The Youga Classic can be bought from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for the relatively low price of $200,000, making it one of GTA Online's more modestly priced models. A bug causes the manufacturer of the vehicle to show up as Vapid on the store page, however, the logo on the vehicle itself proves that no change in manufacturer occurred.
A new Adversary Mode has also been added to the game, though it will have a hard time making a splash after the magnificent Deadline update hit recently. After all, it's tough to compete with literal freaking light cycle battles from Tron, especially considering that they pay well and unlock the slickest bike in GTA Online.
