Grand Theft Auto Online Introduces Traveling Gun Van to Offer Powerful Weapons

Rockstar Games is introducing a new way for players of Grand Theft Auto Online to get their hands on powerful weapons. The developer announced the introduction of the Gun Van, a traveling merchant that will appear in the game with a weekly rotating roster of weapons on offer. Players will have to find the van in order to purchase these items, adding another layer of mystery and adventure into an already dynamic online environment. 

The traveling merchant concept is not entirely new, as Bungie has been employing it in its Destiny franchise since 2014. In Destiny 2, players can find Xur at random locations throughout the game world with exotic weapons and armor for sale every weekend. However, what Rockstar has introduced goes beyond just exotics as they've provided access to railguns which are some of the most powerful weapons available in GTA Online. 

While finding these gun vans may require some extra legwork from players due to their ever-changing location within Los Santos, Rockstar promises that tracking them down will be worth it thanks to “significant discounts” on offer alongside rare finds such as railguns which cannot be obtained any other way or purchased through AmmuNation stores found around San Andreas.  

Of course, this isn’t all that GTA Online has recently added; last month saw heists being added back into the game after having been absent since launch six years ago while also introducing various vehicles such as a military helicopter and off-road vehicles, among other additions like nightclubs and businesses along with player-owned apartments now being accessible once again too. 

With its ever-expanding content updates and live service approach keeping players logging back in day after day for more adventures across Los Santos and Blaine County, it's clear why Grand Theft Auto V continues to remain one of gaming's biggest success stories since 2013; something that doesn't look set to change anytime soon either!
