Gameplay[]
Eight new missions are available for Lamar Davis. Unlike regular contact missions, these form a vague storyline and will first be offered to the player in a set order (although they can still be played out of sequence by accepting invites from other players).
- Community Outreach - Each team takes a lowrider and tries to start a war between the Vagos and the Ballas.
- Slow and Low - Get some lowriders across the city to their buyers without getting spotted by the cops.
- It's a G Thing - Rescue Gerald from police custody before he's airlifted out of state.
- Funeral Party - Shoot up a Vagos funeral and steal their cocaine hidden in Hearses.
- Lowrider Envy - Sneak into a lowrider meet and destroy a specific vehicle, before stealing a second.
- Point and Shoot - Covertly observe a lowrider meet and photograph the lowriders as they arrive, before being told by Lamar which two to steal.
- Desperate Times Call For... - The team must load up into a Moonbeam Custom and eliminate various targets around Los Santos and Chumash.
- Peace Offerings - The players must steal two Buccaneers, and take them back to Benny's. Then, they must defend the area from an attack by the Vagos.
Adversary Modes[]
Three new Adversary Modes available:
- Keep the Pace - Race around courses littered with jumps and obstacles while staying above a minimum speed.
- Offense Defense - Teams are split into Runners and Protectors. Runners must be the first to get to the end of a route while Protectors must block and run opposing Runners off the road, while protecting their Runner from the other teams.
- Relay - A team Race in which players take turns, each completing a lap before tagging a teammate. Non-active drivers wait in the pen to be tagged, while active drivers complete a lap for their team.

Trivia[]
- The official promotional artwork for this update is a reference to the artwork of Cesar Vialpando from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
- The Machete's appearance in this update may be a reference to the movie Machete, since Machete's gang owns several custom lowriders.
