5. Blaine County Is Finally Getting Some Love

Despite adding a massive area outside of Los Santos, Sandy Shores, Blaine County and the rest of the territories stretching along the Pacific Highway have seen little action in recent months. Since the Heists update graced us last year, most content situated in GTA's fictionalised California counterpart has mostly been situated in L.S., but that doesn't seem to be the case this time around, as players look to be heading towards the desert to expand their criminal hijinks.

As the trailer showed, C.E.Os and their fellow executives are seen making a quick getaway down the coastline, and later on a uniquely painted Cargo-Bob is seen stealing a large crate of contraband from what looks to be Sandy Shores airfield. The presence of enemy AI would seem to suggest that these are actual missions that players will embark on, rather than simple gang-attack style events in the open world, which would imply that F&F is aiming to strike a balance between the linear, high-octane action of Heists, and the more, inconsequential distractions of Executives and Other Criminals.

Regardless, seeing more of Trevor's adoptive stomping-grounds will be a welcome treat for players who are growing a tad restless of the sprawling urban landscape of L.S. How much of the DLC will take place outside of San Andreas' foremost city is unknown, but it's still good that we're seeing Rockstar adopt a diverse approach to this latest batch of content.
