GTA Online - Gunrunning DLC Available Now, New Contest to Win Prizes!
Gunrunning makes it's way to Los Santos with the latest update for Grand Theft Auto Online, allowing players to take on the illegal arms trade from their underground base of operations or take things mobile in powerful vehicles. Available now!
The illegal Gunrunning ring has found it's way to Los Santos with the new update for Grand Theft Auto: Online available now! Become a top arms dealer by getting your very own Bunker (your own underground base of operations) that can be used to plan out all your operations. Each of these high tech bases will offer players a chance to command your enterprise from the luxury of an underground location complete with a shooting range, personal quarters, a gun locker and more! The entry fee to get one of these sweet new bases is quite low and start from $1,165,000 GTA Dollars (a mild sum for sure compared to the luxury boats).
Plan missions, assign employees to manufacture weapons, research upgrades, and much more as you watch the stock prices grow due to your operation becoming larger. As soon as you're ready to get going you can venture out and begin to move your merchandise, be warned though as you're going to have people on your back trying to stop you - but that's when you take the fight to the competition with powerful new vehicles!
When you need to go mobile, you can take things on the road with the new Mobile Operations Center. These mobile bases will allow players to take the fight accross the country as they feature the ability to stock weapons, vehicles and command your entire operation on the go. They also come equipped with Living Quarters so you can get some downtime and maybe watch a movie in your spare time! Each one can be upgraded to allow even more options, with weapon and vehicle customisation available to those who have unlocked them.
