Hmm, a Nightshark would be nice to have.

 

[Dan]

Does anyone know how the Nightshark compares to the Insurgent? I’ve never had an opportunity to drive an upgraded one. The Insurgent is one of my favorite vehicles because it’s perfect in almost every aspect. The speed, durability, all-terrain capability, and effectiveness as a battering ram has made it a near-perfect vehicle for the hellscape that is GTA Online.

There's apparently also a new Enus in it somewhere, for anyone interested.

I’m calling it now: the new Enus will be a Rolls Royce Cullinan clone.

I think the Nightshark can take more explosions, but doesn't have the weight to power through things like the Insurgent.

That’s too bad. Blasting through traffic, roadblocks, or golden private jets is the best part of the Insurgent.

 

[SomePlayaDude]

Our good friend Nightshark has better performance than the Insurgent, can tow an AA Turret, weighs less, has in built machine guns (can still do drive bys when windows aren't covered), access to proxy mines, and more customization. Their armor are similar.

I'm down for a free Revolter, and I have a fully researched Insurgent Pickup Custom for my armored truck needs.

 

[Nuschel01]

Has anyone received his $300.000 bonus yet? I haven‘t
I however did get the orange wire bodysuit

And it doesn’t have its own icon when you look on the map. Your enemies can only see a normal, circular blip on the map. Unlike the Insurgent.

Yup. I logged on about an hour ago and got the notification that I’d received 300K. An “ok” profit for doing nothing:tup:

 

[leeislee]

Yep, just checked and I got the 300k too.

 

[McLaren]

Im ready for this Update to drop, hopefully within the next 2 weeks. I’ve taken some time away from GTA to play other stuff and ready to come back to the grind.

 

[Dan]

I received my bodysuit about two days ago and the $300k today.

Fun Fact:


This.

 

[Cowboy]

So since Rockstar hasn't told us of the event week this week, I decided to dig around in-game to find anything.

• Nokota, Pyro, Mogul, Bombushka, Starling, and Tula: 40% off
• Coil Cyclone: 25% off
• Grotti Visione: 30% off
• Vapid Retinue: 30% off
• Hangars: 40% off

Not sure if anything is double cash.

 

[BlazeTheCat05]

Not sure if anything is double cash.

I got you fam.


Also for the Jester Classic fans...

 

[rallymorten]

To be honest, I'd have been more surprised if they *did* release the Jester in its current Standard Car quality and general brokenness.

Then again, at least it wouldn't detract from the entertainment that is the Jester Classic Fan Club

Also I feel like it's somewhat appropriate that I'll have 80 million + change to spend on nightclub stuff.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Looks like I need to put the whip to my coke & cash staff....

 

[SomePlayaDude]

A myriad of aircraft on delightful discount, even though a certain Seabreeze is not on sale...

Although 40% off the Ultralight is sweet, even though I own an Akula for sneaking around up high now. And top battle jets the Pyro and Starling as well.. hmm... I'm sorry, but I've vowed to save my remaining change for the next update.

 

[CSMDuty11]

Something a guy on GTAForums pointed out

 

[rallymorten]

I'm guessing they ran out of ideas for discounts and just recycled a whatever.

I mean, I'm not having a hard time thinking up a pretty good not-out-of-the-realms-of-possibility get-yourselves-ready-for-Nightclubs event week right now, but that's a moot point, isn't it?

 

[Cowboy]

I decided to controversially sell my Akula and nab the Pyro on discount.

 

[Niyologist]

Anyone know why I get a weird blank screen for a second on PC?

No clue, but it hasn't bothered anyone. Probably loading multiplayer assets.

 

[rallymorten]

..just to be absolutely sure I'm missing something blatantly obvious, but is there really no way of making a Capture: GTA where the Capture Vehicles don't respawn? In a fit of boredom yesterday, I may have made what I think could be an.. "interesting" Capture if played with at least 6 people total and preferably at least double that, but it all sort of falls apart if one goes for a respawned vehicle.

And yes, this is what I do when I'd want to get people together for a freemode "heist" but remember how things usually turn out.

 

[STI9]

..just to be absolutely sure I'm missing something blatantly obvious, but is there really no way of making a Capture: GTA where the Capture Vehicles don't respawn?

Don't think so, couldn't that result in an un-winnable game if all the cars were destroyed and the timer was disabled?

 

[rallymorten]

Don't think so, couldn't that result in an un-winnable game if all the cars were destroyed and the timer was disabled?

..that is an issue, yes. But if I at least could make the vehicles that have already been "scored" not respawn, that'd be something. At least then you definitely can't run off of one car for the entire game.

Besides, being able to create missions where one team can only "win" if the other team "loses" would only open up even more interesting missions. Again, consider them mini-Heists.

 

[STI9]

Apparently the nightclub update will be released next week on the 24th




Blue wireframe suit and some discounts on stuff you probably already have.

 

[rallymorten]

I do find it some weird kind of amusing, however, that people will gladly take a leakers word when they say an update releases on a certain date, but when the exact same person then says it's been delayed for some reason, suddenly they need an official statement from R*, the leakers were lying etc.

I mean, for all intents and purposes, it looked *a lot* like it was going to be today, what with the leaked you-yourself-can-confirm-this-info-is-correct Guest List stuff and so on. Unfortunately, as people have had to be reminded of several times, sometimes 🤬 happens, schedules crumble. Heaven forbid any of those people ever have to deal with the danish public transport system

 

[Silver_Wolf]

Well I am very happy the release is delayed, it fits my plans and next week is good for getting back into GTA Online.

It's been quite a nice break since the end of March but I'm looking forward to seeing what's new with the DLC and also what cars are coming, hopefully today's newswire post may give us a tease!

 

[rallymorten]

There be a Newswire update.

Career criminals gearing up for Nightclubs and laundering opportunities through illegal businesses can make your moves now through July 23rd to profit from this week's kingmaker bonuses and advantageous property discounts. Plus, stay tuned for more nightlife scene details coming soon.
[...]
And keep a lookout here on the Newswire for future Guest List rewards including exclusive liveries on new vehicles like the Ocelot Swinger classic sports car and new nightclub themed t-shirts.

We all know the dealio: when R* starts talking like this, it's basically the official "yes, the update launches next week" statement so many players are asking for.

Not that any of this should come as a surprise to anybody who knows who's reliable and who's a piece of 🤬 that should be shot dead, revived and then ran over by an industrial dump truck, but there we are.

 

[McLaren]

Wonder if this means a trailer Thursday or Friday?
