GTA Online: Snowball fights coming to Los Santos

Rockstar has detailed more info on the Festive Surprise that hit GTA 5 this morning, currently rolling  out across all formats.

 

As well as the new weapons, vehicles, clothes and tattoos already revealed, it confirmed that snow and snowball fights are also on the agenda over the coming weeks, fireworks will return for New Year and there will be special gifts for those logging in on Xmas day.

Here’s the skinny, and a bunch of new screenshots

Those dreaming of a white Christmas are in luck as the forecast calls for the extremely rare phenomenon of San Andreas snowfall to hit on a few special days this holiday season. Be on the lookout and ready to round up your Crew for a friendly snowball fight, but be forewarned, those icy little suckers can pack a wallop.
