Rockstar today launched a new bike and mode, and rolled out the latest weekly sales. Additionally, now is your last chance to frolic in the snow and claim your GTA Online holiday gift. Today, January 2, is the last day to get your free firework launcher just for logging in. Additionally, snow will stop falling after today, so now is your last chance to pick up snowballs and chuck them at other players.
In terms of new content, the new Pegassi FCR 1000 notorcycle is now available in the game. "An instant classic, this bike will be the envy of your grandpa, even if he did disown you," Rockstar said.
The new Adversay mode is called Vehicle Vendetta. As its name suggests, this is a vehicle-focused mode in which teams compete for powerups spread across the maps; here's a rundown of them, as written by Rockstar:
- Beast: Automatically transforms you into a Rhino Tank.

- Bomb: Place up to three bombs around the map to destroy trailing enemies.
- Rockets: Fire rockets at oncoming drivers to incapacitate them.
- Repair: Returns vehicle back to max health.

- Flipped: Reverses the enemy team’s steering, acceleration and braking controls.
- Zoned: Slows down time for all players.
