Despite being released about four years ago, the developers over at Rockstar Games have still been consistently providing new content for "Grand Theft Auto Online," which is the online multiplayer outlet for "Grand Theft Auto V." On Oct. 10, players were given access to new goodies causing more mayhem and further enhancing the in-game experience.

In a run down by PlayStation Life, the possible biggest headliner for the recent update is the Buckingham Pyro, a fighter jet equipped with a more powerful engine and machine guns to boot. The special war plane will make any player feel like a baddie in the skies with its destructive capabilities and superior flight speed. Players will also be able to earn twice the in-game cash within this period.

Players will be able to fully customize the Buckingham Pyro at their personal hangars. Additionally, they can be further equipped with homing missiles and other miscellaneous upgrades such as armor and engine upgrades. Other vehicles that will be receiving a 25 percent discount are the Ultralight, the Rocket Voltic, Lampadati Tropos Rallye, the Armored Kuruma, and Benny's Upgrades.

According to Gamespot, there is currently a discount for the Fort Zancudo Hangar 3499 property, as the developers slashed 25 percent off its original price. The hangar is a fitting place for players who have acquired the Buckingham Pyro to park their fighter jet. The Thomson Scrapyard Bunker will also have a 25 percent discount, and these deals will be available until Oct. 16. This means that players only have less than a week to avail these things upon launch date.

As always, players will have new race tracks that they will be able to join, and it has been revealed to be at Raton Canyon. The top three finishers of the premium race will be rewarded with in-game currency that will give players a significant advantage in the chaotic world of "Grand Theft Auto Online."
