GTA Online The Contract - Story Missions
The bulk of the new free dlc will focus on Franklin Clinton, one of Grand Theft Auto V’s three protagonists and well-known rap star, Dr. Dre. Here's the official overview from Rockstar Games.
In the years since he and his accomplices knocked over the Union Depository, renowned Los Santos hustler Franklin Clinton has been making moves of his own.
Welcome to F. Clinton and Partner, a new “celebrity solutions agency” catering to the Vinewood elite in need of solutions to high-society problems.
Franklin needs two things: a reliable partner and a big-ticket, high-profile client. With your longtime LS contact — and newly aspiring cannabis entrepreneur — Lamar Davis making the connection, you can be the partner that helps Franklin take the business to the next level.
Meanwhile on the other side of the city, DJ Pooh has been reaching out to Franklin about an exciting potential client: his close friend, Dr. Dre.
Lost in the shuffle on his way to Cayo Perico last year, it turns out Dr. Dre’s phone isn’t just missing — it’s in the wrong hands. Not only that, but the phone also contains the hottest property in the city: new, unreleased music from Dr. Dre himself. This could be the big break your agency needs.
GTA Online The Contract - New Cars
So far Rockstar Games has confirmed at least two new cars coming to the game. This includes the Dewbauchee Champion and the Enus Jubilee. We suspect these won't be the only two, but for now this is the full rundown of what Rockstar has confirmed will arrive on December 15.
GTA Online The Contract - New Weapons
The brief overview of the DLC from Rockstar Games has also confimed that players will be able to get their hands on a new Compact EMP Launcher and a Stun Gun.
GTA Online The Contract - New Businesses
Whilst Rockstar's initial blog post was fairly light on details it seems as though there will be two new buisness opportunities for players to buy into and make money from when this new update launches. This includes 'The Agency' which we imagine is some sort of record lable run by Clinton. The second business is known as 'The Armory' but there's less info on precisely what this could entail.
GTA Online The Contract - New Music
Although the update will most likely introduce a slew of new Dr Dre tracks, it seems like there are plenty more changes coming to the game's music. Supposedly we'll be getting "an eclectic new radio station from some very special guest hosts", as well as "huge first-of-their-kind updates to existing radio stations including a ton of new and unreleased exclusive tracks from Dr. Dre and a heavy-hitting line-up of artists".
The YouTube trailer also gives a big hint at some of the tracks and artists we can expect to see. Here's the full rundown:
- ETA (featuring Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, and Anderson .Paak)
