With the release of the San Andreas Mercenaries update on June 13, 2023, Grand Theft Auto Online players are treated to lots of new content, including new vehicles.

But like previous updates, such as Diamond Casino that introduced the Navy Revolver or the Cayo Perico Heist update that added the Military Rifle to the arsenal, there’s a new weapon here too.

This time it is the Tactical SMG, a versatile submachine gun that stands out from the crowd. Priced at $292,500, the new SMG will be a must-try.
