Grand Theft Auto Online continues to have one of the most vibrant online experiences and Rockstar has another exciting update for players. Starting today, the new Dewbauchee Vagner Supercar will be available alongside Dawn Raid, the latest Adversary Mode for GTA Online. Players of Dawn Raid will also receive Double GTA$ & RP through July 10th, and Rockstar has additional discounts at Docktease on three Yacht models and modifications. To add patriotic flair to this week’s updates, Rocksar also has Independence Day-themed liveries for MOCS and Mk II weaponry, with discounts on firework launchers and more. 

NEW SUPERCAR: THE DEWBAUCHEE VAGNER

NEW ADVERSARY MODE: DAWN RAID

Gun down your enemies under the cover of darkness as you race to track down highly coveted contraband in Dawn Raid, the newest mode added to GTA Online. Two teams of up to six parachute into a combat zone in search of a transmitter hidden inside of a package. Your objective is to find it and transport it to the evacuation zone. Armed to the teeth and aided with Night and Thermal Vision Goggles, you must utilize the Trackify app to locate the correct package. But be careful, using Trackify makes you vulnerable to enemy fire. Put those multitasking skills to the test in Dawn Raid and earn Double GTA$ & RP in this new Adversary Mode through July 10th.

SPECIAL BONUSES: INDEPENDENCE DAY CONTENT IS BACK, UNLOCKABLE IN-GAME TEES, NEW PATRIOTIC LIVERIES AND MORE

Firework launchers, classic outfits, the Western Sovereign and the Liberator Monster Truck are all back through July 10, and 25% off their original price. This year also brings patriotic new liveries for your Mobile Operation Center and Mk II weaponry to help you celebrate our nation's independence.
