What new missions are coming in the summer update?
We can get a good idea of the sort of missions we can expect from the GTA Online Summer Update from the trailer, the most exciting of which has to be a new adversary mission on Cayo Perico! It’s about time we had something to do other than rob the place blind!
Also, throughout the trailer, we get a tease at the new heist: Operation Paper trail. In this, we need to help CIA Operatives learn about what is going on with rising oil prices, probably by shooting and stealing a bunch. I wonder what's going on...

What new activities are coming in the summer update?
We know for sure that in the Summer Update, players will be able to do far more if they’re an owner of a business, bike club, nightclub owner and more. There will be more ways to interact with your chosen enterprise in ways that’ll make them more than passive money generators. This includes throwing out rowdy party heads, delivering ammunition, or picking up supply bags at the bike club.
We also know a metal detector is being added to the game, which seems to be linked to a new type of collectable. For those who like a bit of treasure hunting, this will offer up a chance to dig up some special prizes.
In addition, the MK II missiles are being nerfed, so while not an actual new activity, why don’t you hop in a jet and shoot down some griefers now that their favourite weapon has had its claws taken out. You won't make much money, but it’ll be mighty gratifying.
What new clothes are coming in the summer update?
From the new trailer, we catch a look at several distinct looks. First off, we see a player wrecking havoc while heavily decked out in futuristic attire with a minigun in hand. If you want to look like a criminal of the future, this may be the update for you.
We also see someone stare at the camera with a totally robotic face. It’s unclear whether this is something us players will be able to earn, or whether it fits snuggly on a character’s face we’ve yet to meet, but we’re certainly hoping for the former.
What new weapons are coming in the summer update?
There are two new weapons being added to the GTA Online Summer Update. These are the Tactical Rifle, and another weapon codenamed PRCSRIFLE. No word yet on how to get these new weapons, but here's hoping they won't break the bank!
We've written guides on how to acquire new weapons added with this update, and you can find them below!
