The briefing
The November 19, 2013 Beach Bum patch combined its themed content with changes to Online rewards and service charges. Vehicle additions included the Bifta, Kalahari, Paradise and Speeder; weapons included the SNS Pistol and Broken Bottle.
Pegasus delivery charges were reduced from GTA$1,000 to GTA$200. Lester’s wanted-level removal was scaled at GTA$200 per star, while race, deathmatch and parachuting rewards were linked to average completion time.
The notes also revised Bad Sport handling and participation rewards, including payments for some unsuccessful cooperative or versus attempts. Those adjustments describe the game’s early economy, not a current promise that every present-day activity uses the same payout formula or service price.
New Vehicles BF Bifta Off-Road - $75,000 Canis Kalahari Off-Road - $40,000 Bravado Paradise Off-Road, Vans - $25,000 Pegassi Speeder Boats - $325,000 These vehicles are also available in Story Mode for Michael, Trevor and Franklin to enjoy - to access them, visit your garage property and the Marina property for the vehicles and the boat respectively. New Weapons Broken Bottle Melee SNS Pistol Handguns Both weapons will be available gratis from any Ammu-Nation location in GTA Online and will be added straight into each of the three characters' inventory in Story Mode.
