Key Takeaways:
- The new business in the DLC needs to offer more engaging missions with a hybrid system inspired by Red Dead Online and Security Contracts in GTA Online.
- Vigilante Missions should make a comeback, allowing players to eliminate targets while driving cop cars, with increasing difficulty and rewarding abilities.
- Rockstar should finally introduce cop outfits and bodyguard vests that players can buy or unlock legitimately.
- The DLC should have substantial day one content with replayability, potentially tied to a new progression system for unlocking items.
- Vehicle changes, particularly the Babushka, need to be significant to improve functionality and address any broken features from previous updates.
New Business: Engaging Missions and Varied Challenges
GhillieMaster expresses his concerns about the new business in the DLC being repetitive, like The Chop Shop business. He suggests a hybrid system that combines the legendary bounty system from Red Dead Online with Security Contracts in GTA Online. This approach would offer both unique, high-paying missions with longer cooldowns and more general missions that can be repeated more frequently. To add variety, sub-objectives could be introduced, encouraging different play styles for each mission.
Vigilante Missions: Bringing Back the Classic
GhillieMaster highlights the importance of bringing back Vigilante Missions, where players can eliminate targets while driving cop cars. He suggests a classic approach similar to previous GTA games, where the game provides a continuous stream of targets that increase in difficulty. He also mentions the need for rewarding abilities and a new way to call off a wanted level, catering to players who want to engage in activities without attracting police attention.
Proper Cop Outfits: Finally Making Them Accessible
Since the original Heist update, players have been eager to save and wear cop outfits in GTA Online. However, Rockstar has consistently patched glitches and blacklisted such outfits. GhillieMaster urges Rockstar to introduce cop outfits and bodyguard vests as legitimate options for players to buy or unlock. With the upcoming DLC heavily focused on police content, it is the perfect opportunity to finally fulfill players’ desires.
Day One Content: Replayability and Progression
GhillieMaster emphasizes the importance of having a healthy amount of content available on the first day of the DLC. He references the previous Chop Shop update, which initially felt lackluster due to limited content. To avoid a similar situation, the day one content should have replayability. GhillieMaster suggests implementing a new progression system tied to unlocking new cop cars, weapons, skins, and outfits. This system would keep players engaged and provide a sense of progression as they explore the new content.
Vehicle Changes: Addressing Issues and Enhancing Functionality
GhillieMaster advocates for substantial changes to vehicles, particularly mentioning the Babushka. He emphasizes the need for significant buffs to the Babushka’s functionality, including its turrets. He also raises concerns about broken features in vehicles from previous updates, such as the default broken headlights on the Illusion. GhillieMaster urges Rockstar to address these issues and ensure that vehicles in the DLC are complete and fully functional.
