This page will detail how to begin the new 'The Contract' DLC content for GTA Online. Below you'll find a breakdown of what you need to do to get started, where to go, and what you will receive for doing so. 'The Contract' is a free DLC update for GTA Online so all players can experience the new content with no restrictions.

How to Start The Contract DLC

With this DLC being a free update for all GTA Online players, all that you need to do is accept the phone call you will receive from Lamar the next time you log in. He will tell you about a business proposition, and upon finishing the call you will need to head to the 'Dynasty8 Executive' website and purchase one of the 4 available agencies. This is where players strapped for cash will have to work up some money before continuing. The agencies don't come cheap, with their prices ranging from $2,010,000 to $2,830,000 - and that's without the additional extras you can purchase for those properties.

The cheapest option is "Little Seoul" for the aforementioned $2,010,000, and once you've proceeded to the extras page you'll be presented with the screen below - various bonuses to deck out your new pad. The top three are aesthetic only, however, if you can afford it, it is heavily recommended that you purchase the "Armory", "Accommodation" and "Vehicle Workshop" options. Whilst not essential to the content that follows, it will be extremely useful to have a respawn point that you can store vehicles at and resupply on weapons and ammo. Regretfully, that will charge you an additional $1,795,000. With the cheapest agency in mind, that would mean you'd be fully ready to go having spent $3,805,000.

Head to your newly purchased Agency, now with its own unique icon on the map, and the narrative will commence. If you want a full breakdown of the story content and missions following this, please refer to our Walkthrough by clicking the link below:
