Many rumors and speculation about other additions that could potentially be included with Heists DLC began circulating after information found in Xbox Live source code was leaked, which suggests multiple new weapons being implemented to online gameplay.
The source code is essentially a method GTA enthusiasts use to leak a lot of DLCs. All items that get put up on the Xbox Live Marketplace must first be logged in the source code. So anyone who is able to look through the texture files of source code essentially knows of the updates before the DLC is released.
Multiple media outlets and YouTube tipsters have been passing around an image claiming that two new weapons were found in source code. As seen below, the two weapons are an assault M4 Sniper Rifle and an assault XM25 Grenade Launcher that's speculated to be included with the Heists DLC.
Additionally, a hacker enthusiast going by the name of St3vehacker also came across information found in source code that suggested a new thermite bomb coming to online gameplay.
Rockstar actually confirmed that leaked info by making the mistake of releasing a photo of the thermite bomb. At the time, an image of the thermite bomb could be seen with the Firework Launcher on the weapons menu in the game, but was later taken down.
Thermite bombs are the most powerful hand grenades used by U.S. soldiers. They can burn at up to 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit and are perfect for blowing the doors off safes or blowing holes in walls in certain Heists missions.
If speculation is indeed correct, then gamers can expect to receive a new sniper rifle, grenade launcher and thermite bomb to be included with Heists missions in the next 1.19 update. While an official release date for the Heists DLC hasn't been announced, gamers are setting their sights for a potential December release.
