Grand Theft Auto: Online has been the main focus for Rockstar Games, and GTA Online players are no doubt happy about it. While some focus has been put on the new cars added to GTA, the main content of the most recent update focuses a lot on the game’s super yachts.
The recent Los Santos Summer Update for GTA Online added plenty of new content to the game revolving around super yachts. Players can become the captain of a super yacht to start brand new missions, but they can also unlock a special captain’s outfit that allows them to fully look the part.
Grand Theft Auto’s Summer Update released for players to download early last week, and mainly focuses on various maritime activities players can partake in through GTA Online. As mentioned above that content centers around the game’s super yachts, and involves a handful of missions that can be started through an NPC named Captain Brendan Darcy. Darcy will be the key for players to unlock the captain’s outfit, though it will take a bit of time.
In reality, unlocking the captain’s outfit in GTA Online is fairly straightforward. All players need to do is complete the questline for Galaxy Superyachts while being the host for the co-op missions. Thankfully, players can complete all of the missions alone so they need not worry about having friends available online. However, if players are completing missions in a friend group, only the player who acted as host will unlock the captain’s outfit through the Los Santos Summer Special event.
Naturally, before players can start this yacht questline they need to have purchased a Galaxy Superyacht beforehand. Interestingly, before this update player’s yachts weren’t really all that good for much. Yachts can’t really be driven and were only really used for hosting parties and looking nice. Now, GTA players finally have a use for yachts through the Summer Special event and can even dress up as the captain of their yacht. While the captain’s outfit looks exactly how one would expect it to look, it is a nice little cosmetic item for players to earn.
The captain’s outfit consists of an iconic sea captain’s hat, white shirt, black pants, and black dress shoes. The captain’s hat has a gold and navy insignia above the brim and the white shirt has golden and navy epaulets on the shoulders. Unfortunately for players who need to earn cash fast in GTA Online, a helpful money exploit was recently patched out through an update. So players desperate to earn cash for a superyacht will have to earn money legitimately.
Grand Theft Auto Online is available on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, and will be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X in 2021.
