Gameplay updates include a new Register as a Boss option in the Interaction Menu. This will make it quicker to start an Organization or Motorcycle Club.

A Buy All option when purchasing Body Armor at Ammu-Nation will be added, and rank requirements for Body Armor are being removed. Body Armor will be restocked after Quick Restarting a mission, matching the same Body Armor levels as when first entering the lobby. When equipping Body Armor via the Weapon Wheel, the type of armor used will be relative to how much damage the player has taken.

You will be able to track your criminal activities with Career Progress, which will display your progression as you rise through the criminal ranks and establish your empire.
