The new San Andreas Mercenaries DLC update will seemingly be centered around Merryweather and other dangerous adversaries. In this quest of taking down enemies, a brand new character named Charlie Reed will be helping gamers with the Los Santos Angeles initiative. He will also act as an aircraft mechanic in the game.

Moreover, in the update, players will also be able to enhance their Mammoth Avenger with a brand new Operations Terminal and some weapon upgrades. They can also expect new random events and sets of missions revolving around this plane.
