Rockstar has revealed the DLC and additional content that players are entitled to when they purchase either the Special or Collector's Edition of Grand Theft Auto 5, and we've got all the details right here.
Regardless of which edition of the game players choose, they'll net a pair of special firearms absolutely free, the .50 Caliber Pistol and the Bullpup Shotgun, and each has their own unique customization options, skins, and attachments. Players are also said to have access to the Hammer, which isn't some cleverly named gun, but a regular old hammer, the kind you'd pick up at Home Depot. Definitely a ruthless melee weapon.
There is also the Special Ability Boost with Michael, Franklin and Trevor each having their own unique special ability. These special abilities can be activated once each of them fills up the Special Ability bar based on various actions. The official page states: "Michael is an expert marksman - his Special Ability slows down time in a gunfight allowing him to pick off his targets with greater ease. Franklin is a skilled driver with sharp reflexes - his Special Ability lets him slow down time while driving any road-based vehicle, allowing him to quickly navigate through traffic with ease and take corners at high speeds. Trevor is a drug-addled sociopath with a short fuse - his Special Ability sends him into a rage, causing double damage to enemies while only taking half as much damage himself when hit. With the boost that's included in both the Special and Collector's Editions, the Special Ability bar will generate 25% faster." So don't get Trevor angry, Los Santos citizens pee themselves when he gets angry.
Fans who take a step further and opt for the Collector's Edition are entitled to receive custom made characters for Grand Theft Auto Online with the hereditary-based character creation system. This allows players to select their characters' appearance by choosing his parent's heritage. Next, players will need to use the gene dominance meter to dial-in, which parent the appearance favors more.
"Additionally, you'll customize your character's daily activities - everything from family time to illegal work and sports to couch potato hours all have an impact on your character's appearance and skill set (and you can always rank up your skill stats more via gameplay). As part of the Collector's Edition package, you'll get Niko Bellic, along with both Claude and Misty from Grand Theft Auto III to use as parent options within the character creation system," the official page states.
Apart from this, there are bonus outfits and specialized tattoos to choose from. All the characters will be getting a special 20 percent discount alongside access to special items in their personal wardrobes or from stores. Each character is set to get one outfit each, one additional article of clothing (shirt, hoodie and jacket) each, and a tattoo.
Grand Theft Auto 5 is scheduled to release on PS3 and Xbox 360 on Sept. 17.
