Terminator and Alien Among Easter Eggs in New Update for GTA Online

The latest GTA Online update introduced to the game not only new cars and activities, but also numerous easter eggs. Many of them have already been discovered by the players.

IN A NUTSHELL:
  • The latest update for GTA Online has introduced numerous easter eggs to the game;
  • Thanks to Los Santos Tuners we can encounter the Terminator and find a Xenomorph egg;
  • In the game there are also cars from movies such as 60 seconds and The Fast and the Furious.

It's been almost a week since the release of the latest update for GTA Online. In addition to numerous cars, new activities and a car club, Los Santos Tuners has introduced numerous easter eggs to the game. It didn't take long for players to find many of them. In accordance with the theme of the update, many nods refer to the automotive industry. However, among them we can also find references to iconic sci-fi movies.

The Terminator in Los Santos

A collection of easter eggs was presented by the hots of the GTA Series Videos channel. Probably the most interesting of them is a clear reference to The Terminator. During the Access Point mission we find a certain film set. While exploring it we can meet an NPC who resembles the director James Cameron as well as a few characters from the production. Among them are Sarah Connor and the Terminator T-800. It's enough that we look at his clothes and weapons and everything becomes clear.

Alien Egg

However, this is not the only movie reference. During another mission, in which our task is to rob a train, we can come across quite unusual container. In contrast to all others it does not have a serial number. When we decide to open it, we will see a quite familiar sight. Inside we see an Ovomorph, the famous "egg" of the Alien, which first appeared in Alien.

Initial D

But what would be the addition focused on the motorization without famous cars? And so the game gained a special paint job for the car Futo GTX, called Delivery boy. After we adorn our car with it, it becomes obvious that it is a direct reference to the famous racing anime Initial D. Not only does the paint scheme resemble that of the series, but the name of the car is also changed. From the moment of applying the paint job, the car will be called Tofu.

Other Hollywood hits

However, these are not the only automotive nods. During the Los Santos car rally we will come across cars inspired by the iconic machines known from the silver screen. We will see cars resembling Ford Mustang "Eleanor" (60 seconds), Ford 5-Window Coupe (American Graffiti) and the Toyota Supra (The Fast and the Furious). You can also find a machine inspired by Ken Block's Ford Focus RS at the meeting.

In addition, two harder to spot easter eggs have been included in the update. One of them is connected with The Agency Deal mission. When completing it we can come across a closed door, behind which we will find dead Juggernaut from Cliffford's mercenary group. During the game we can also encounter a new arcade machine, which directly refers to Rockstar's game called Manhunt.

At the moment, these are all the easter eggs found in Los Santos Tuners. It is possible, however, that the game hides secrets that players have not managed to discover. So the only thing left for us is to be very careful while exploring new locations.
