Alongside additional game tuning, the Beach Bum update includes:

New vehicles, weapons and jobs

Take on new Beach Bum Races with the BF Bifta dune buggy, the rugged Canis Kalahari off-road truck or the Bravado Paradise beach camper van. For aquatic-based endeavours, the classic Speeder speedboat is also now available. All four vehicles can also be accessed in Story Mode and are available at no in-game cost. Also available in both Story Mode and Online are the new SNS Pistol and Broken Bottle, a pair of close range weapons. This update also features a wide array of new apparel; everything from casual canvas hats to tank tops, t-shirts, board shorts and bikinis in a wide range of styles and colours plus new hairstyle and tattoo customization options. In conjunction with today’s Beach Bum update, we’re also adding 30 new Jobs to GTA Online today. This includes new beach-themed races, deathmatches, Parachutes, Last Team Standings and Gang Attacks, plus the beachfront “Survival on Del Perro Pier” and more.
