Developer Rockstar has rolled out information regarding the latest week-long event headed to GTA Online, and this time it all revolves around Lowrider bonuses, new SUMO maps and much more.
Beginning today, April 1, the Tornado Custom Week brings with it a sleek new ride in the form of the Declasse Tornado Custom — available from Tuesday, April 5 — while those who took a liking to the SUMO mode introduced with the Lowriders Custom Classics event will be pleased to note that additional maps will be added over the coming days.
There’s also word of two “blockbuster livestreams” designed to dovetail GTA Online‘s Tornado week. The first of which was streamed earlier today, before Rockstar take to YouTube and Twitch on Thursday, April 7 at 5pm ET to close out the event. Details of which can be found below.
