GTA Online's Doomsday Heist DLC is live

GTA Online’s new Heist has gone online today.

The Doomsday Heist sets players up to stop the apocalypse, partnering “a billionaire tech mogul, an idealistic intelligence agent, a socially awkward conspiracy theorist and a neurotic supercomputer” to save San Andreas from enemies unknown.

The update takes GTA Online down a very Saints Row 4 path, introducing the Impote Deluxo flying car, a tank with a railgun, a jetpack, and even a $500,000 – $750,000 Orbital Strike to take out other players.

Doomsday is the first Heist to be added since the first batch was released in 2015, making it a big surprise when Rockstar announced it last week.

The whole range of additions is more than a bit bonkers, but it includes the more traditional new weapons, clothing and tattoos too.  

The Doomsday DLC Heist is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC for free.
