The long wait for the Heists DLC for "GTA V Online" may soon be over if the recent reports are true. It's believed the much-anticipated content will be released in December and some of its features have even been leaked.

NillxModz from se7ensins claims Heists will be available two days ahead of Christmas on Dec. 23. While Rockstar Games has yet to confirm the release, NillxModz asserts the content will be available on the PS3, Xbox One, PS4 and Xbox 360 version of "GTA V." Furthermore, fans have even compiled a new list of features said to be included in the DLC. These features, items and functions are believed to have been acquired and confirmed from a code analysed through developer versions of the game.

There will reportedly be six online Heists missions in four unique locations. These said locations will boast 34 texture modifications as per NillxModz to give the missions "added effect." However, even as the DLC is available to all consoles, the texture details will supposedly be especially sharp on current-generation consoles. Likewise, a brand new apartment feature, one that's complete with CCTV function and inhabited by two AI-characters, is said to also be available for the current-generation version of "GTA V."

What's a Heists mission without proper costumes? Thus, NillxModz says there will be three Heists-themed outfits included in the DLC.

"These items are still identified by their Dev tag but are the following types; Special Outfit (available from the counter)," NillxModz says.

Other features leaked are supposedly still identified by their Dev tags. These include 1) 2 new contact lenses 2) 5 new hairstyles and 3) brand new Sports Classic and Sports class vehicles.

Heists for "GTA V Online" will reportedly also have Jeff as a new phone contact. Per NillxModz he will be available to offer players a chance to "resurrect a killed-off Crew member" during the missions. However, no further details have been revealed yet regarding the feature. Additionally, each Heists mission is said to be linked to four new audio files, including the sound of an alarm bell, a vault opening, sirens and even a background track.

However, the credibility of the leaks remains uncertain. Rockstar Games has yet to confirm any updates regarding the online Heists DLC. But Gamepur asserts NillxModz is a "credible leakier" for "GTA V" since he also revealed the high life update weeks in advance.
