Dataminers are digging up "Grand Theft Auto 5 Online" ("GTA 5 Online") round the clock to learn more about what Rockstar Games has in store for the folks of Los Santos and Blaine County.

According to prolific "GTA" tipster Tezfunz2, snow is planned for Christmas Eve along with "a bunch of gifts." He added that there will be free shirts as rewards.

These shirts will be given at random though. "You log-in and receive one special shirt out of 44," the "GTA" tipster explained.

"GTA 5 Online" will also get a new Adversary mode "Juggernaut," which is the same as Trading Places, but the losers are called attackers while the winners are dubbed juggernauts.

Another one is set to be added as well. It is called "Pointless," and Tezfunz2 said that its name fits this Adversary mode in terms of how it works. He said that it is about collecting points to win. It is not out yet though.

Tezfunz2 also discovered some changes made by Rockstar on "GTA 5 Online." He revealed that an "appsecurohack" script was added in the "Import/Export" downloadable content (DLC).

"Only used for Rocket Voltic mission but I wonder if it will expand with future DLCs," the tipster said of the tweak.

Rockstar recently released the long-awaited Truffade Nero and Nero Custom in the "Import/Export" DLC, which fans did not waste time trying out and playing with.

The developer also released the Festive Surprise DLC, which fans can use to get into the holiday spirit. There will be new holiday-themed sweaters and hats and classic masks, Santa outfits and other festive clothing for free up to Jan. 9.

"Light up the streets with colorful new Bodysuits available for purchase from clothing stores; each with illumination settings to glow, pulse or flash. Or get lit like your drunk uncle with the Firework Launcher, returning to the shelves at Ammu-Nation (and under the trees of all the good little boys and girls in Southern San Andreas on Christmas Eve) to help you celebrate the holidays in explosive style while you wait for that rare Los Santos snowfall phenomenon," Rockstar wrote on its blog.
