High above the sprawling metropolis of Los Santos, warplanes are tuning up their engines and preparing for combat for a war that's about to break out as part of the upcoming Grand Theft Auto Online update, San Andreas Mercenaries.
Teeming with aerial warfare and lucrative smuggling opportunities, the upcoming GTA Online update brings along with it fresh gameplay, enhanced quality-of-life features, and a surge of thrilling action for players across the globe on June 13.
In GTA Online's latest expansion, the criminal underground of Southern San Andreas braces for upheaval as Merryweather Security, notorious for their shady dealings, announces a major expansion for their operations.
In line with this, the Los Santos Angels, a squadron of proficient aviators and hardened mercenaries, are assembling to face off against this formidable private military threat. The sakes are high as players prepare to confront San Andreas' largest private military company.
Spearheading this ambitious counteroffensive is none other than the expert aircraft mechanic and ace pilot, Charlie Reed. Reed's guidance will prove monumental for the Mammoth Avengers as he transforms it into an imposing air fortress that's armed with a new Operations Terminal and advanced weapons system upgrades. But the battlefield isn't just in the skies; players will also seize ground-based opportunities, running valuable contraband and snatching cash and commodities from wealthy, moving targets.
