Starting GTA Online at this late stage might seem daunting. After all many of its players are now high-levelled and tricked out with the best guns and cars money can buy, yet Rockstar has since made efforts to correct this imbalance. Firstoff the Sawn-off Shotgun and small-but-deadly SNS Pistol both come totally free once you've installed all the updates and signed up to the social club. You also get a free garage for signing up too, so you don't have to spend the first few hours grinding just for a safe place to spawn in Los Santos. And of course there's the BF Bifta, a nippy little beach car that can dominate the track when it comes to off-road racing. It's not uncommon to enter a race and find half the players rocking a rainbow of these things all in a straight line. This too is completely free as of the Beach Bum Expansion Pack. While not free the brand new Gusenberg Sweeper is also available right from the start, a terrific automatic weapon that levels the playing field when it comes to online missions and deathmatches.
