Grand Theft Auto Online News: The Business Update Now Available, Adds New Weapons, Clothes, and Cars

GTA Online Gets a Bit of the Business, and a New Title Update Offers Some Adjustments

Back alley dealings, drivebys, stepped on drugs, the sagging past your ass jeans...the gangster lifestyle just isn't for everyone. Some just have higher aspirations, opting instead for three-piece designer suits, and luxury jets. To cut right to the chases, everything you need for your Grand Theft Auto Online avatar's to achieve all the champagne wishes and caviar dreams is now at the ready, thanks to the The Business Update, which is now available to download.

A post on the Rockstar Newswire had all the details for the update, which offers three new high end cars for your chaffeur to cruise the streets: the Caddilac styled Albany Alpha, Dinka Jester coupé, and Ferrari F40-esque Grotti Turismo R. If you wanna keep a bit of low-class in your rides, the LS Customs shop has also been given new horn and wheel-smoke options.

If asphalt isn't your style, hit the skies with the Vestra jet. The new aircraft's low weight and high powered engine make this thing streak through the sky. It's also highly is highly maneuvarable, making it a great choice for stunts and racing. But all the speed and loop-de-loop goodness come with a hefty $950,000 price tag.

Vehicles are all well and good, but when you have to let a few bullets fly, there's also two new high-powered weapons available at your friendly local neighborhood gun store:

- The Heavy Pistol deals just that kind of damage, and sports a decent rate of fire, but is lower than most pistols. A default magazine of 18 is good for anyone with bad aim, but can be customized to carry as many as 36 rounds. has high damage per shot, with semi-automatic firing rate. Its damage is comparable but less than the Pistol .50 but boasts a much larger 18 round magazine with a 36 round magazine with an extended clip like the AP Pistol.

- For full auto fans, give the Special Carbine a go. It's similar to the Advanced Rifle, but boasts an improved accuracy. The downfall is it's not as damaging as the former.

The new clothing is the sort of business casual wear you'd expect, with suits, jackets, hats, etc., and two new Vehicle Deathmatches, 14 new jobs, and additions to Last Team Standing, Capture, and Survival also help keep things interesting. Just remember that when you get greased, it's not personal, just business.

Even if you're not a fan of GTA Online, you can still enjoy the Business Update's additions, as, "The new vehicles and weapons in The Business Update are also available in GTAV Story Mode. You can access all three cars from Michael, Franklin or Trevor's garage properties and the weapons will be deposited into all three characters' inventory with two full ammo-clips."

As for the new title update, the new customization options the business update brings (tattoo, clothing, hairstyles, etc.), and fixes for exploits like bringing single player games into online mode and giving nitrous boosters to boats are among the most notable changes, but Rockstar support provided the complete list, which you can check out below:
