In GTA Online the summer update has finally been released. With it, not only new vehicles and weapons come into play, but also cool quality-of-life changes that simplify your life in Los Santos. This includes a long-overdue adjustment for the weapon wheel.
What happened today in GTA Online? The summer update 2022 is live in GTA Online. Rockstar surprised its fans this time with cool new vehicles and new missions for your businesses.
Additionally, Rockstar used the time to implement a few improvements in Los Santos. These affect your gangster life and simplify it with shorter loading times or more options in menus.
Therefore, on July 26, the weapon wheel received a minor adjustment that allows you to use snacks and armor faster. We will show you how it works.
If you want to see the trailer for the summer update 2022, we have it here for you:
Quickly equip armor and eat snacks – Here’s how
The weapon wheel received a new coat of paint with the summer update, as you can now eat snacks or quickly equip armor in it without wasting unnecessary time in the interaction menu.
For this, you simply need to open your weapon wheel. You will then see two new options on the top left side of your screen that you can select with your buttons. This way, you waste less time in a hail of bullets and can quickly re-equip yourself in combat.
