Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

GTA V Online is to get an Independence Day Special, with all things American being celebrated starting today with an update that would make "even the most battle-hardened Republican Space Ranger shed a tear", bringing new cars, bikes guns, properties, clothes and a firework rocket launcher.

The special comes 'in association with Ammu-Nation' (a tongue-in-cheek nod to the USA's pride in the Second Amendment) and makes the following available to redeem until mid-July:

Vehicles:

- Sovereign motorcycle

- Super-sized Liberator monster truck

Guns:

- Antique high-powered Musket

- Firework rocket launcher

Properties:

- New locations in Paleto Bay and Vinewood Hills

- Option to hold a fireworks display in your back yard

Pleasure Pier:

- You can now ride the Ferris Whale and the Leviathan Roller Coaster

Clothes and hairstyles:

- "Made in the U.S.A." t-shirt

- Mullet

- Eagle mask

Tuning updates and adjustments:

- On Call Matchmaking function - This allows players to accept a Job invite and continue playing in Freemode until that Job fills up, reducing time spent idle while waiting for Job to start.

You'll need to download the automatic update (1.15) to get the pack on PS3 and Xbox 360, and expect details on Rockstar's upcoming 'celebratory 4-day Independence Day Weekend Event' tomorrow.
