GTA Online patch notes: 5 biggest changes in update 1.43

IN a world as big as GTA Online’s, new stuff to play with is always welcome.

The Criminal Enterprises update is finally here for GTA Online. This is the first major expansion since the game made its way to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

While much of the content from this expansion is being drip-fed over time, there is plenty available right now.

New weapons, vehicles, dealerships, missions and more are all on their way.

But they all fall short of the biggest addition, as your character can now wear Airpods.

We’ve gathered all the biggest features of this new update so you can get right into the fun stuff.

New Weapons

What would a shooter game be without things to shoot. Two new rifles can be bought in GTA Online.

The M16 rifle is going to be available very soon, although we don’t know how much it’ll cost yet.

However, you can buy the Precision Rifle right now for $391,500. As the name suggests, it has high accuracy, just keep control of the recoil.

New Vehicles

One of the game’s most important status symbols are the cars, and you can buy six new ones in this update, with many more on their way.

The most expensive of these is the LM87 Hypercar, which costs a whopping $2,915,000.

If you’re looking for a ‘budget’ supercar, then try the Greenwood which is just $1,098,750.

Payout Increases

If you’re going to buy all these new toys, you’ll need to earn some money, and now crime pays more than ever.

Races of all types, including player-created ones have seen a 50% increase in their payout, making being a great driver more profitable than ever.

That’s not all, as Adversary mode will be seeing the same 50% increase in payout.

Heists have become a lot more lucrative too. Heist Setups pay 50% more, and the minimum cut for Finales has been increased to 15%.

On top of this, many heist finales have had their payout increased. The following have seen a 75% increase:

• The Fleeca Job
• The Humane Labs Raid
• The Prison Break Finale
• Series A Funding Finale.

The following heist finales have had a 50% payout increase:

• The Pacific Standard Job Finale
• The Doomsday Heist: Act I
• The Doomsday Heist: Act II
• The Doomsday Heist: Act III

More vehicle customisation

Your cars can now be fine-tuned better than ever in this update.

Vehicles with LS Car Meet access can be equipped with Low Grip Tires, and vehicles will be delivered faster when you request them from the mechanic.

A great change is that you’ll no longer be charged for destroying another player’s weaponised vehicle.

This means you can properly defend yourself from attackers without fear of being charged for destroying a personal vehicle.

Plus, you can now own 10 properties, increasing your total potential garage space by 20 vehicles, assuming you own the biggest garages.

Indoor walking speed increased

This is a small but appreciated change, as a few locations now allow players to jog while inside them, rather than slowly walk.

These locations include The Diamond Casino & Resort, The Music Locker, and Nightclubs.
