The next GTA Online update, The Kortz Center Heist, has just been revealed by Rockstar Games along with a release date. The company formally announced on Thursday that they’d be releasing a summer DLC this month. The new update was first teased by Rockstar recently but details of what this DLC have been scarce until now.
What Is The Kortz Center Heist About?
Rockstar say players will working with Mr. Faber and Raf De Angelis to take on a blockbuster new Heist. You must meticulously stake out the museum and carefully plot your approach, then snatch the Kortz Center’s most valuable exhibits. It will contain new content for your mansion, vehicles and more.
Purchasable Art Studio
Taking down a culturally and commercially high-value target like the Kortz Center requires a proportionate level of preparation. Investing in an Art Studio space expansion inside your Mansion will get you started. Similar to other owned properties, Mansion owners can also extend an invite to their friends and host them inside their Art Studio.
Once renovated, a gifted counterfeiter will occupy the Studio crafting forgeries to replace the valuable target pieces inside the museum. Consider them your personal artist-in-residence. Gear and tech will accumulate inside your Art Studio as you prepare, and you and your associates will be able to select from this stockpile when building a custom loadout for the Finale.
Approach solo, or with a crew of up to three other players — having extra hands may help you escape with more. Raf will be your point man for the Heist, sharing reconnaissance and vital intel as you execute your well-prepared plans. You can also expect your Mansion’s trusty AI Assistant to come in handy.
For those making their initial foray into Mansion ownership there’s still time to take advantage of a special limited-time bonus GTA$ offer, and Prix Luxury Real Estate’s Richman Villa property in the Vinewood Hills is just a short drive to the Kortz Center.
Inside the Art Studio, you can display trophies and stolen pieces of art instead of selling it to Mr. Faber’s clients. Every week that initial sale will garner the most robust payout, but with the option to keep stolen Primary Target paintings and decorate your Mansion, along with three new paintings to steal each week and tons of variability in how you approach them, The Kortz Center Heist offers a unique new level of replayability.
You can see some of the paintings you can grab and display below. There are some really fun GTA, Red Dead and general Rockstar Games easter eggs in them.
The Heist
Scope out the Kortz Center in Pacific Bluffs to stroll among the works in the gallery’s latest collection, snap candid photos of the paintings on the walls without alerting security, and ascertain how to get in and out of the cultural foundation unscathed. It offers substantial variability to help keep your options open.
Once you’ve scoped out the exhibit, you can meticulously plan out and gear up for your final approach. As the most prestigious exhibition gallery in all of Los Santos, the Kortz Center also contains an abundance of fine art that can be stolen as Secondary Targets, and these stack up quickly — making this newest Heist a most fiscally enriching score. Scoping can be beneficial to identifying these treasures as well as discovering multiple viable escape routes.
Covering your tracks and being covert will be crucial for a maximum take, since art known to be stolen will be harder to fence, commanding lower prices on the secondary market. Ensuring no witnesses and wiping CCTV footage will keep the heat off you and your take higher.
And More…
The update will contain new vehicles such as the Grotti Veleno GT which is pictured above. There will be a number of new supercars plus Drift and Hao’s Special Works upgrade-compatible options to buy.
GTA+ members will get the Grotti Veleno GT for free as part of the new GTA+ month beginning July 14th. This will also be exclusive to GTA+ subscribers for one week before it is made available to purchase for everyone. Rockstar also tease there will be new updates as part of this DLC to the Rockstar Mission Creator and more.
What Is The Kortz Center Heist Release Date? Can You Pre-Load It?
The next GTA Online DLC will release on Tuesday 14th July at the usual time of 10am BST. It is currently unknown if Rockstar will offer pre-loading for the update as last time they did not. The patch containing new content is not the only things happening in GTA Online on June 17th. There will be a brand new Event Week and GTA+ month to enjoy.
