GTA Online: The winter update will be a highlight for story fans

The big winter update “The Contract” is just around the corner with its December release for GTA Online. This time it will be a highlight for those who want a single player DLC, because Franklin – one of the main characters of the single player – plays an important role.

What kind of update is that? Rockstar Games recently announced the major winter update for GTA Online. For the online mode of GTA 5, this brings new weapons, new cars, real estate and content. The trailer surprised a large part of the community because it showed a familiar face. Franklin Clinton. Along with Michael and Trevor, he is one of the three protagonists in the single player of GTA 5.

Now, more than eight years after the release of GTA 5, it is celebrating its big comeback. For fans who want the story to be continued with DLCs, this is a big highlight in the history of Grand Theft Auto V.

Who is Franklin Clinton?

This is his story: You get to know Franklin very early in the GTA 5 story. Together with his best friend Lamar you are supposed to steal cars and get to know Frank’s special ability – slowing down time. Retrieving cars in repo jobs has long been the job that kept Franklin and Lamar afloat. The two perform their first jobs for the dealership owner Simeon Yetarian, who is already represented in GTA Online with contact missions and a return job.

Franklin meets Michael De Santa, another protagonist of the story, in the course of the story. He also met Trevor Philips through him. Together, the three banks rob, do gangs and get involved in questionable deals. At Franklin’s side you often see the loyal Rottweiler Chop, who lives with Franklin, although he actually belongs to Lamar.

• Franklin shows up in the story as a smart character who makes rational decisions
• He is the “youngster” among the three protagonists
• Although he is young and learning a lot from his mentor Michael, he often helps Michael make important decisions
• Friends and acquaintances describe Franklin in the story as a disloyal guy who lets his friends down. Which is not true for most of the story

This is the role he plays in GTA Online: Surprisingly, Rockstar Games announced in December that Franklin Clinton will be part of GTA Online on December 15th when the “The Contract” update is released. He and the Rottweiler Chop are among the new content in the free DLC.

It is said that Franklin Clinton did quite a bit after the great heist of the Union Depository. He is now part of an agency that is the focus of the update. The agency’s slogan in full GTA fashion:

“Welcome to F. Clinton and Partner, a new Celebrity Solutions agency providing Vinewood’s elite solutions to elite problems.”

Of course, buddy Lamar Davis should not be missing. He introduces you to a celebrity who is so important to the agency’s success. Once again it is proven that good friends support each other.

In the contract update, join Franklin, Chop, and the rest of the gang on the lost music from rapper and producer Dr. To find Dre again. The songs were on the cell phone, which the rap legend lost on the way to the party island of Cayo Perico.

The desire for story DLCs for GTA 5 is huge

Anyone who played the story of Grand Theft Auto V and cheered Franklin, Trevor and Michael along with them will understand why the desire for story DLCs quickly arose. Rockstar himself once stated that new content for the single player from GTA 5 was neither possible nor necessary (via gameinformer).

But the community’s wish remained. And the players mean it so seriously that mods for the single player finally deliver the desired content – however, the content comes from the minds of the community.

The joy is now great that the story of the protagonists is now being continued at least in online mode.
