GTA Online Chop Shop update is the latest major DLC for the popular multiplayer game. Released on December 12, 2023, it has added a lot of new things for players, including events, vehicles, and missions. However, the title is now over 10 years old, and Grand Theft Auto 6 is on the horizon, which could make one wonder if the update is worth it.

With this in mind, let’s learn the good, bad, and worst in the GTA Online Chop Shop update so far.

Getting so much content with a DLC that was not even marketed enough is a huge win for fans. The Salvage Yard property alone offers new experiences that players have been waiting for a long time.

Rockstar Games finally allowing players to purchase cop cars is one of the best parts of The Chop Shop.

A lot of content has been locked in GTA Online's The Chop Shop update and will be available later as drip-feed content:

  • The Podium Robbery
  • The McTony Robbery
  • Drag Races
  • 9 drip-feed vehicles
  • Snowball Launcher weapon

This was seen in the previous DLCs, where Rockstar Games released some content much later. While this keeps the game fresh for quite some time, many players aren't fond of it as they believe major content should be available from day one of the update release.

The Chop Shop is fairly decent overall. The only bad thing about it so far is the Vehicle Robbery missions, which are very limited. Gamers can only play three of them every week. Once all three are finished, they will have to wait for the following week to replay them.

Considering how good these contract-style missions are, it’s disappointing to wait to experience them again.


The Chop Shop is meant to keep the current game interesting until Grand Theft Auto 6 is finally released in 2025.
