GTA Online Valentine's Day Massacre Special Coming This Friday

What say's "You're the love of my life baby" more than going on a citywide drive-by with your significant other against an entire world of inappropriately-clothed physics-abusers and constantly exploding vehicles?

Following one of the roughest opening few weeks in the last decade this side of Battlefield 4, GTA V's online component is finally a much more stable beast, and Rockstar are trying to get as many people back to the many bloodstained roads of San Andreas as possible this Valentines Day. After all, what say's "You're the love of my life baby" more than going on a citywide drive-by with your significant other against an entire world of inappropriately-clothed physics-abusers and constantly exploding vehicles? Exactly. As well as a multitude of multiplayer additions that mainly comprise of 10 new job-types, there will also be content loaded into the single player too, taking the form of the 'Gusenberg Sweeper' machine gun, and the 'Albany Roosevelt'; a large 1920's-style limousine, ensuring your entire crew can pack themselves into one vehicle before barrelling down the high-street. As far as we can tell from the press-release, the newer dress-up options appear to be multiplayer-only, including "novelty t-shirts and hats", which is something of a shame, as if there's a character who wasn't sexy enough it's one Trevor Philips. The 'Valentines Day Massacre Special' is a FREE update for all players regardless of Social Club Memberships, which we must say is mighty kind of them. What follows are the details of the press release for Friday's content, courtesy of Rockstar Games, and take note of the final line about availability: NEW WEAPON: GUSENBERG SWEEPER Nothing says "I love you" quite like the warm wooden grip and cold steel barrel of a Gusenberg Sweeper machine gun. Get it from any Ammu-Nation location in GTA Online (in Story Mode, the Sweeper is automatically deposited into each character's weapon inventory with two full clips and additional ammo can be purchased at Ammu-Nation). NEW VEHICLE: ALBANY ROOSEVELT Paint the town red in the classically-inspired Albany Roosevelt. This armored 1920s limousine is perfect for gangsters and their molls. To properly run amok with the new Roosevelt, get in the driver's seat and let your friends or Crewmates hang off the side, firing and taking out your rivals as you pass them by. The Roosevelt can be accessed from any garage property in Story Mode and is available in GTA Online from the legendarymotorsport.net in-game website. NEW ATTIRE Dress to the nines in a host of new double breasted suits and 1920s flapper dresses, or bare it all in sexy undergarments while going incognito with a selection of new masquerade masks. There are also new novelty t-shirts, hats and more available in stores throughout Los Santos, plus a new Flapper Bob hairstyle exclusively for the ladies. 10 NEW JOBS The Valentine's Day Massacre also includes 10 new Jobs scattered like the remnants of a broken heart throughout the world of GTA Online, including Deathmatches, a new Parachute Jump and new land, sea and cycling Races. Everything in the Valentine's Day Massacre Special will be available for a limited time starting this Friday, but once acquired players will be able to keep them in their inventory for good. We will also have more information soon for other forthcoming GTA Online content updates including the Dangerous Business Pack, Online Heists, an expansion to the Creator tool and lots more.
