GTA 5 News Updates - GTA Online: release date announced for Beach Bum update

GTA Online – these beach bums are showing off the new clothing, and a fresh weapon: the broken bottle. Delightful

Last week, we had the stimulus package – next week it'll be sun, sea and shooting: the Beach Bum update is coming to GTA Online on 19 November. The first new content pack for Grand Theft Auto V's multiplayer mode will download automatically adding new clothes, weapons, vehicles and jobs to the already vast array. Deathmatch, Parachute, Last Team Standing, Survival and Gang Attack mission types are all represented.

Today, Rockstar updated its website with details of some of the jobs set to be on offer:

Grass Route II (Race): In this sequel to the original popular Grass Route Race, go off-road in an epic heat starting on the North bank of the Zancudo river through the treacherous wetlands with a triumphant finish on the beach in North Chumash.

Survival on Del Perro Pier (Survival): Skip the ferris wheel for a deadlier kind of thrill ride as you take on waves of relentless enemies at this beachfront attraction.

View of Vespucci (Parachuting): This leap sends you from 2,980 feet, down towards Vespucci Beach, weaving through palm trees to land on the basketball courts of the rec center. If you've got skills, it's possible to freefall through the first few checkpoints before even opening your chute.

Paleto Beach (Team Deathmatch): The locals complain that not a lot happens in this sleepy town, so do them a favor and wake them up with a barrage of gunfire exchanged between you and a rival team. This Team Deathmatch takes place right on the romantic shoreline for 4-8 players.

Sundae Driving (Bike Race): Sure to be a new fan-favorite motorbike race, menace Vespucci Beach on your two-wheel rocket, taking breakneck corners as you try and best the competition.

Meanwhile, the new beach-themed vehicles will be the BF Bifta dune buggy, the Canis Kalahari off-road truck, the Bravado Paradise beach camper van and the Speeder speedboat, which has been cropping up in the games since GTA III. Meanwhile bushy blonde surfer dude hair, tribal tattoos and baggy shorts will also be available for that authentic beach bum look.

The publisher is also promising more content over the next few weeks including co-op heists, Capture the Flag, and new story mode elements. And surely it's only a matter of time before we get zombies.

Update: Rockstar Games has informed US that the “Grand Theft Auto V” Social Club Twitter Page mentioned in this article is not official and, thus, the release date message is fake. We apologize for the error.

Original Story: Rockstar Games narrowed down the release date for the Beach Bum DLC Pack from the “GTA Online” mode of “GTA 5.” According to a report from Explosion on Nov. 11, fans may not have to wait too much longer to get their hands on the downloadable content expansion.

The official Twitter page of the official “Grand Theft Auto V” Social Club reported that the Beach Bum DLC Pack is going to come out sometime next week. Rockstar Games previously disclosed that the expansion would include new customization options for multiplayer characters along with the additions of vehicles and weapons. All of the items are based on the beach.

The Beach Bum DLC Pack, which will be free on both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, was set to come out several weeks after the launch of “GTA Online” before it was pushed back as the development team at Rockstar North needed extra time to patch the multiplayer mode of “GTA 5.” In addition to the aforementioned downloadable content, the company is also planning to add a content creator, heists and single-player DLC in the near future.

“GTA 5” came out with a standard price tag of $59.99 for the two current-generation consoles from Sony and Microsoft on Sept. 17. The “GTA Online” mode is included in the video game at no additional costs. You can check out a selection of screens from the recently-released title in  near the top of this article.
