Original Story:

Rockstar announced today that the GTA Online Beach Bum Update for Grand Theft Auto V is now available. The update will introduce new vehicles, new weapons, and a lot of new customization items such as clothing, hairdos, and tattoos. All of the new items will be available in both story mode and in GTA Online at no cost. Also free with the update are 30 new jobs added to GTA online, including new races, death matches, parachutes, and more.

Several fixes and tuning will also go into effect with this patch:

DYNAMIC TUNING TO GTA ONLINE

-The GTA$ and RP rewards for Races, Deathmatches and Parachuting are now based on the average time they take to complete.
-Players now receive GTA$ and RP rewards when failing a cooperative Job or being a member of the losing team during a Versus Mission, depending on how long the Job / Mission lasts.
-Players now receive a bonus GTA$ multiplier for Missions when played at the higher difficulty levels (Normal = 1.25, Hard = 1.5).
-In Team Deathmatch, all players on a team now receive the same GTA$ and RP rewards, with the winning team getting roughly 4-5x what the losing team receives.
-Removed some instances of debris in specific Races, including the cardboard from the 'Down the Drain' Race.
-Deliveries from Pegasus have been reduced from $1,000 to $200.
