GTA 5 Festive Surprise 2015 DLC: Declasse Tampa customisation and Beast vs Slasher gameplay revealed

Renowned YouTuber MrBossFTW aka Ross in his latest gameplay video for GTA Online walks us through various ways of customising the new Declasse Tampa muscle car, while also revealing the gameplay elements pertaining to the new Beast vs Slasher Adversary mode. Rockstar Games has released a bunch of surprise gifts as part of the Festive Surprise 2015 DLC, including the snowfall around Los Santos and a Christmas tree inside each of your apartments.

In line with the earlier rumours, Rockstar has finally added the Declasse Tampa muscle car to GTA Online, which is expectedly priced at GTA$375,000 on SouthernSanAndresSuperAutos.com. The stock version of Tampa is available for purchase in eight different colours — Red, pink, yellow, orange, green, blue, black and white.

As its description on the website says, the Tampa is an extremely powerful car in its class, albeit it has the worst handling ever seen in this segment.

As Ross admits in his gameplay video, this is a retro car from GTA 4 with full body customisation capabilities, including the paint, front and rear bumpers, spoilers, body armour, hood, grille, engine, suspension, exhaust, horn and light upgrades. Apart from the extreme customisation options, the car comes with cool looks that is reminiscent of the legacy muscle cars from the 1960s.

The best part about this car is that it will be permanently available for purchase in GTA Online. So, if you miss the opportunity during the Christmas season, you can always come back and get it later.

The car looks simply stunning with red stripes on primary black paint and the smudged decals on its sides suits the new snowfall theme for the festive season. The snowfall phenomenon kicked off in Los Santos on the eve of Christmas and you can now carry up to nine snowballs in your arsenal or even kill someone with a few snowball hits.

There is no word yet on how long the snowfall would last in GTA Online. So, it is imperative to make the most of the snowfall feature over the next few days.

Finally, don't forget to check out some free Christmas gifts hidden underneath one of the Christmas trees inside your apartments. One of the probable gift options could include some kind of a wig or snowman mask as shown in one of Rockstar's recently released screenshots (see the passenger on the motorcycle above) on Newswire.
