Yesterday, Rockstar released the final major update for GTA Online in 2016, with only the holiday celebrations remaining. Import/Export brought a massive amount of content to the game, and took Online back to the roots of the franchise in order to freshen up the gameplay experience. New vehicles, warehouses, missions and an Adversary Mode are all new to the game.
While we did our best to cover launch with as much information off the bat as possible, some things only become apparent once the update has been experienced firsthand. Any fan who played with GTA Online since Import/Export went live will have realized that there is a lot to the update that Rockstar's official release post didn't reveal.
We've decided to scour the internet for all the various secrets and details players have discovered, and add that which we've discovered ourselves. If you have any questions about Import/Export and the new content it brought to GTA Online, chances are you'll find an answer in here.
Vehicle Warehouses vs Executive Garages
Firstly, there still seems to be some measure of misunderstanding among players about how the new executive garages and vehicle warehouses relate to any of the existing properties in the game, even though the DLC has already launched. For starters, the new vehicle warehouses are entirely separate from the executive garages.
Vehicle warehouses act like regular warehouses, in the sense that this is where you store cargo before you sell it. The only difference is that instead of contraband items and crates, vehicle warehouses store cars that you stole and want to export for cash. These are not used to house your personal vehicles, nor do they add to your garage slots.
Executive garages, on the other hand, are new additions to the offices introduced in Further Adventures in Finance and Felony. These are multi-floor garages that can be expanded with additional floors and a special mechanic. The base garage has 20 vehicle slots, and each added floor adds 20 more to a maximum of three floors and 60 cars. The mechanic, on the other hand, functions as an in-house LSC and Benny's, so you don't even need to leave your garage to get your cars modified.
Now, everyone has one thing on their mind: prices. Sure, a massive 60 slot garage sitting right under your executive offices is nice, especially with the customs shop included. But how much does such decadence cost? Well, as it turns out, a lot, actually. The most expensive executive garage is the add-on for the Lombank West office. With all bonuses selected the garage will set you back $6,850,000.
Pocket change. Considering that the Megalodon Shark Card costs $100 in real cash and is worth $8,000,000 in-game, it means that the most expensive executive garage option is currently more valuable in real money than the entire game itself at full price (which it rarely is). Let that sink in. Props to Reddit user chuck_the_man for the image.
Executive Garages Explained
As for how these executive garages function, you don't have all three floors in a single physical space, so it isn't like the instance you're loaded into contains all three floors and regulates access on how many you bought. Each floor acts as a separate garage, meaning they can be customized individually (yay!) and that they are separated by loading screens (boo).
