GTA Online Update Adds New Career Progress Feature

Rockstar has just revealed all changes happening to GTA Online next week. As a part of the San Andreas Mercenaries update, changes will be made to vehicles, gameplay, balancing, and more.

Players will now have the option to claim all their destroyed vehicles at once whenever they file a Mors Mutual Insurance claim, and Mors Mutual will no longer charge whenever someone claims their vehicle during contact missions. There'll now be a custom description tag for garages to help players find their cars more quickly whenever they call a mechanic. Now players can select specific floors via Eclipse Blvd Garage. When the d-Pad is pressed whenever someone is flying the F-160 Raiju, it'll enter Stealth Mode, and it will do this if a holds L3/LS while flying any VTOL aircraft in and out of VTOL mode.

Going forward, players can now use The Willard Eudora and Albany Classique Broadway when participating in Taxi Work, and there'll also be more filters for race jobs via Jobs Menu. Less popular vehicles will be removed from the in-game websites to help "streamline the browsing experience." But don't worry, because they'll still be available in other event places such as The Lucky Wheel and more.

As for the gameplay changes, players can now register as a boss from the Interaction Menu. There'll also be a "Buy All" option whenever someone buys body armor, and players will no longer have to be a specific rank to buy certain armor. In addition to that, body armor will now be restocked whenever someone uses the Quick Restarting option for a mission, and whenever armor is equipped from the Weapon Wheel, it'll equip certain armor based on how much damage players have taken.

Players will no longer have to worry about receiving phone calls from Tom Connors or English Dave when they're parachuting or in freefall, and Madrazo Dispatch Services will no longer require more than one player to use. After years of asking, players can finally hold the sprint button instead of mashing it. Whenever they give their Acid product a name, they'll receive a 5% bonus, and rank requirements for Daily Objectives will be removed.

For the balance changes, players can expect a pay increase in collectibles and events with activities such as Stashes and Treasure Chests, and there'll also be a 25% payout increase for Gerald's Last Play and A Superyacht Life. The P-996 Lazer and Mammoth Hydra will be balanced out whenever they're used in freemode, and the Orbital Cannon can no longer be instantly reset or refunded. This is to help prevent payers from being repeatedly targeted.

Lastly, players will now have the option to track their stats via Career Progress. As the name suggests, it'll track players' progress and be on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Career Progress menu can be found in the GTA Online Main Menu, and it can also be found in the Pause Menu. To read all the rest of the changes happening to GTA Online, click here.
