The news comes from Rockstar Games' Newswire on their official website showing some Online census information while also mentioning the Heists DLC is coming in the next update.

"We've got some really exciting stuff in the works to continue adding to, expanding and evolving the world of Grand Theft Auto Online - including the highly anticipated launch of Online Heists which will be available for all four consoles as the first GTA Online Update to happen after the game launches on PS4 and Xbox One," Rockstar said in the announcement.

Rockstar confirming Heists for the next update across all gaming platforms is huge news for GTA enthusiasts. Fans have been anticipating the DLC for over a year now and will finally have the opportunity to earn big cash rewards when completing Heists missions.

The Thermite bomb, which was found in texture files of source code by hacker enthusiast St3v3hacker, is speculated to be included with the Heists DLC. The thermite bomb is the most destructive hand grenade used by U.S. soldiers, as it produces a molten iron and intense heat of up to 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit through a chemical reaction.

This extreme heat will make thermite bombs good for destroying weapon caches, bunkers and vehicles. The weapon would also be perfect for blowing the doors off safes or holes in walls in certain Heists missions.

With "GTA 5" launching for PS4 and Xbox One consoles Nov. 18, the earliest possible release date speculated for the Heists DLC and 1.18 update could be Tuesday, Nov. 25.
