The Los Santos Tuners update is finally here in GTA Online, and you can start the new content by visiting a brand new location on the map. Los Santos has seen its fair share of expansions over the years, but the Los Santos Tuners update focuses on an underutilized part of the map that most players overlook. It's not in uptown nightclubs or up north with the dodgy businesses of Blaine County, but rather in the industrial part of town. Here's how to start the Los Santos Tuners update in GTA Online.
How to Start Los Santos Tuners in GTA Online
To kick off the Los Santos Tuners update in GTA Online, simply visit the new LS Car Meet social space. You can find this new location at Cypress Flats, located in the southeast part of Los Santos, just above the airport. It is marked with a fancy "LS" icon on the map. You should also receive a text message on your in-game phone from the Los Santos Car Meet inviting you to check out the new building.
Once you arrive at the building, simply head to the blue marker on the ground to enter the LS Car Meet. A short cutscene will introduce you to the people who run the underground Los Santos car scene, then you'll get lost in the new social space. Here you can show your cars to other players without being distressed by other players. There are also new activities to take on, ranging from races to flights, and even more perks can be unlocked by purchasing an LS Car Meet membership for GTA$50.
Without a subscription, all you can really do is hang out with other players and show off your cars. Car Encounters are incredibly popular in GTA Online, and now Rockstar has provided a safe space to hold them. If you want to enjoy new content like Challenges and Trial Races, you will need to purchase the subscription. If you want to check out the new Contract Missions, you'll need to purchase an Auto Shop from Maze Bank Foreclosures. The properties aren't cheap, but the new missions feel like mini heists and are a lot of fun. Plus, they pay pretty well.
Grand Theft Auto V is available now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
