Loading directly into GTA Online eliminates the cumbersome process of going through story mode, but a player has managed to unearth a major flaw in the quality of this feature.

GTA Online developers do not plan on slowing down any time soon, despite heavy speculations surrounding GTA 6 rumors. During an interview with GamesRadar, Rockstar North design director Scott Butchard suggested that the devs team still has a lot of surprises in store for players.

One of those surprises came in the form of Los Santos Drug Wars: The Last Dose update that was pushed on March 16. Sadly, community members criticized the update for recycling a GTA V story mission. Disappointed players also raised concerns over a recent quality-of-life change that doesn’t serve its purpose right.

GTA Online players slam slow load times

Under Settings and Startup in the GTA Online menu, players will be able to load directly into GTA Online. This is a welcomed change over having to go through story mode first.

However, a player compared the load times and found out that it’s just under a minute faster to enter an online lobby through story mode. Loading directly into GTA Online takes more time because searching for a public lobby to join could take time. Players are now seeking answers for why they don’t have the option to load directly into a solo or invite-only session.

Whatever might be the case, loading into the story and then going into online could be the faster way to play whatever players are trying in GTA Online.

The Last Dose mission in GTA Online

Players who are eager to jump right into the new content for GTA Online’s Drug Wars will be required to complete certain missions beforehand, as well as have the game be up-to-date.

Once players make sure they have the latest GTA Online patch installed, they just need to follow these simple steps to start playing The Last Does missions:

  • Players should complete all of the First Dose missions in GTA Online.
  • Once done, they need to find a car and free roam around Los Santos.
  • After soem time, they should get a call from Dax.
  • Accept the call, go and meet up with him, and this will kick off The Last Dose missions.

The Last Dose missions rewards

There are a total of five The Last Dose missions, compared to the six of The First Dose, and completing them will reward players with cool bonuses. Like other missions in GTA Online, players can earn many rewards for completing The Last Dose missions, including clothes and cars — even the Ocelot Virtue supercar. Here are the rewards:

  • Floral Guffy Pool Sliders: Complete the opening The Last Dose mission.
  • Lime Leopard Slab cap & Canvas Shoes: Complete all The Last Dose missions.
  • Ocelot Virtue: Complete all The Last Dose missions.
  • Black Enema Flourish Ski mask: Restock Acid Lab supplies.
  • Teal Enema Flourish Ski mask: Steal from a Stash House.
