The Chop Shop update has arrived GTA Online, and it introduces a new illegal trade for enterprising criminals. Yusuf Amir, who you may remember from the Grand Theft Auto 4 expansion The ballad of gay Tony, is now located in San Andreas. He helps the players set up a new salvage yard that also serves as an illegal store. Yusuf and his cousin task the player with stealing several luxury cars, which can be sold whole or dismantled for valuable scrap metal.
There are five locations for the salvage yard, depending on which part of the map the player chooses to call home, and the yard can be upgraded over time with trade rates and a new tow truck profession. According to Rockstar, these new car robberies require a certain flair for the dramatic. Some of them require disguises and undercover work, while others need good hacking or driving skills.
The Chop Shop also introduces many new vehicles to steal, from sleek supercars to multi-purpose SUVs. With a little courage, players can even purchase police cars to cause some exciting chaos. There are also more animals around San Andreas and a new battle rifle available from the armory.
We'll wait a while to see it Grand Theft Auto6which is currently set to release sometime in 2025. Until that time, GTA Online is the best we have for brand new campaign content. It's interesting to see Rockstar bringing back old characters from the franchise's past.
The Chop Shop update was released on December 12 and is available on all platforms.
