GTA Online High Life Update Out Now
Grand Theft Auto Online users can now start living the “High Life” update, which Rockstar has made available today.
The automatic update features “features new high-end apartments, multi-property ownership, four new vehicles, the powerful Bullpup Rifle and more,” according to Rockstar. You can now own two properties at one time, and new high end properties are available.
The three new cars and one new motorcycle include the Enus Huntley S (SUV), Dewbauchee Massacro (Sports), Pegassi Zentorno (Super) and Dinka Thrust (Motorcycle). There’s also a new “non-contact” option for races, in which the other cars are ghostlike and you can’t crash into them. Also being added: New clothing focusing on expensive suits; more cars from the story mode; new toasts and celebrations; and the ability to “friend spectate,” or watch your friends even if they are in separate sessions.
Rockstar also shared some more details on one of the new update’s potentially most intriguing feature, the mental state stat, which lets you know if a player is friendly or if you should run far, far away.
With the new Mental State stat, we are keeping track of your behavior. If you seem to enjoy attacking pedestrians and terrorizing other players, then your blip will start to turn red on other players’ maps. The redder the blip, the more psychotic the player; the whiter the blip, the friendlier they are.
The actions you take will have varying effects on your Mental State. For example, killing another player will turn your blip red faster than blowing up a car or taking out a random pedestrian. Killing a player with a white blip will push your Mental State into the red faster than killing more psycho players, while taking out full-on psycho players won’t cause your own Mental State stat to increase at all.
Mental state also factors into matchmaking – you’ll automatically join Freemode sessions containing people more ‘compatible’ with your play style, and if a red-blipped lunatic does enter your session, you at least have fair warning!
