2) Mammoth Avenger upgrades

Rockstar Games has announced major upgrades for the Mammoth Avenger in GTA Online's San Andreas Mercenaries update. Although it is already a formidable aircraft with features like VTOL, countermeasures, and bombs, the update will further reinforce it.

The Mammoth Avenger will be turned into an aerial command center, get a new operations terminal, and an enhanced weapons system. Furthermore, players will be able to store it without having a Hangar or Facility. This will save a significant amount of money as the cost of these properties is well over a million dollars.
