The Valentine's Day Massacre Special is a content update for Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, released on 13 February 2014, the day before Valentine's Day.
Description[]
It includes multiple 1920s mob-styled content: A new weapon (the Gusenberg Sweeper), a new vehicle (the Albany Roosevelt), multiple items of vintage clothing, a Flapper Bob hairstyle for female characters, a new action in the interaction menu (Blow Kiss), and 10 new jobs.
Content in the update was only available to purchase from 13 February to 3 March in GTA Online, however, players who owned the content can re-purchase it at any time. The content in this update, alongside the later released Be My Valentine update for the enhanced versions of GTA Online, returns every year around Valentine's Day through Events.[2]

Other[]

Oversights[]
- The action name "Blow Kiss" did not appear when in a vehicle; it would just show "< >". However, this glitch has been patched.
- After The Business Update (Patch 1.13), many of the T-shirts from this update disappeared. Rockstar had quickly fixed the issue.
- On February 19, 2016, all the re-released content in this update was unintentionally removed again due to a bug. The removed content was re-added on February 20, 2016.

Historical references[]
- The name and overall theme of the DLC are a reference to the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre on February 14, 1929, led by late gangster Al Capone.
- The Gusenberg Sweeper is named after the contract killer Frank Gusenberg, who was "sweeped" in the massacre with a M1928A1 Thompson sub-machine gun.
- The Albany Roosevelt is named after the president Franklin D. Roosevelt, who helped to minimize gang activity in the early 1930s and is speculated to have used Al Capone's custom Cadillac.
