Grand Theft Auto Online Update Let's You Start an Illegal Arms Trading Empire

There's a massive new update coming to Grand Theft Auto Online next month, and Rockstar has been very hush-hush about the whole thing. You didn't hear this from us, but word on the street is that a massive underground firearms trade economy is about to start booming in Los Santos, and you have a chance to get in on the ground floor. You could be a king, but you have to play your cards right. Are you ready to be a Gunrunner?

"While sharply dressed CEOs trade Special Cargo from lavish air conditioned suites, and leather-clad Bikers own the roadways moving illicit consumer goods; new opportunities are opening in a highly lucrative and equally malicious network hidden underground ripe for takeover by the VIPs, CEOs, and Biker bosses of Los Santos and Blaine County."

The "Gunrunning" update will be coming to GTA Online next month, though Rockstar hasn't revealed the official release date yet. What they have let slip is that you'll be able to discover some brand new locations hidden from the public eye; potential headquarters where you'll start, grow, and operate your illegal military arms trade and become a dangerous world-renowned executive in your own right.

"Dotted throughout Blaine County are hatches. Look into these mysterious properties on the Maze Bank Foreclosure site and you'll find sprawling underground headquarters for sale, ready to be stocked with new military grade vehicles and weapons manufacturing equipment capable of developing highly sought after offensive and defensive technologies.

"As the residents of Los Santos know, the only thing more fun than crime is profit and should you choose to invest in this new business, some extremely shady customers are ready to pay top dollar for what you can deliver."

We're going to walk away now, and you're going to forget we ever had this conversation. Prepare yourself for an invisible war. Gunrunner will launch next month, and we'll let you know as soon as we get word of an official release date. The new update will, of course, be completely free.
