Rockstar Games has announced its next big update for Grand Theft Auto Online, titled Agents of Sabotage, set to launch on December 10. This update is poised to be the largest since the Bottom Dollar Bounties update earlier this year in June. It introduces new story missions, robberies, vehicles, and more for players to explore and enjoy.
The Heist Challenge: A $20 Trillion Goal
As of now, GTA Online players are immersed in The Heist Challenge, a community event running until December 4, where the collective goal is to earn $20 trillion from heist finales. According to Rockstar’s latest updates, the community had reached $15 trillion by December 3. Whether the remaining $5 trillion target will be met before the event concludes remains to be seen.
If the goal is achieved, players will unlock a free Police Predator vehicle as a reward—a fitting incentive for the staggering target.
Return to Familiar Faces and New Robberies
The Agents of Sabotage update will reintroduce players to Lester’s old hideout, the Darnell Bros Garment Factory, as the backdrop for a fresh set of heist missions. Players will work alongside Jodi Marshall, an ex-FIB agent, to execute a series of thrilling, strategic robberies. Adding to the excitement, Pavel, the fan-favorite character from the Cayo Perico Heist, will make his return to the story after a four-year absence.
New Vehicle Additions
Vehicle enthusiasts have much to look forward to with the update, which brings:
- Bravado Banshee GTS
- A police variant of the Coquette D10
- An FIB-themed Terrorbyte
- The Police Predator (free if The Heist Challenge succeeds).
Additionally, new liveries and customization options will expand players’ garages, offering more ways to personalize their rides.
Fan Reactions: A Mixed Bag
While the new content promises excitement for GTA Online players, fan reception has been divided. Many players are voicing their frustration at the lack of news about Grand Theft Auto 6, with no second trailer released despite years of anticipation. The wait has left fans increasingly impatient, overshadowing some of the enthusiasm for GTA Online’s updates.
However, others appreciate Rockstar’s commitment to keeping GTA Online alive with consistent updates, highlighting its ability to maintain its status as a lucrative title even without major changes. For those eagerly awaiting GTA6, Agents of Sabotage offers a temporary distraction and fresh objectives to tackle in the meantime.
Final Thoughts
The Agents of Sabotage update could be a thrilling addition to GTA Online, particularly for fans who enjoy its heist mechanics and story expansions. With its December 10 release date, players won’t have long to wait before diving into the latest chapter of this enduring online experience.
Stay tuned for further updates from Rockstar as the release draws nearer!
