If you didn’t already have enough awesome stuff to do in the world of GTA Online , you can add the latest gameplay mode updates to the ever growing list.
Rockstar touted the addition of the new modes in a press release earlier today: “We are happy to announce that Capture – the newest addition to the collection of team-based modes in , Grand Theft Auto Online , will be available today as part of the latest free automatic update on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. With 20 new Jobs across four unique modes, this GTA twist on classic capture the flag style confrontations brings a whole new level of adversarial action to the world of Los Santos and Blaine County. Strategy plays a huge role as you run decoys, set traps and place obstacles to ensure your enemies don’t get close to your goods.”
As for the modes themselves, they come in four flavors, including:
- RAID – In Raid, you’ll have to fight your way into your opponents’ base and steal a package, then deliver it back to your base to score points. Reach the target score, or deliver more packages than your opponents do in the allotted time to win the match.
- HOLD – When playing Hold, teams must collect and store as many packages as possible in their base. Packages can either be found on the map, or stolen from the opposing team’s bases. Reach the target score, or hold the most packages when the time runs out, to win.
- GTA – As the ubiquitous acronym might suggest, GTA mode tasks players with stealing target vehicles located all around the map, before bringing them back to their respective bases. Each team must fight to steal more vehicles in the allotted time than their opponents.
- CONTEND – In Contend, there’s only one package, situated in the middle of the map. Teams must fight to bring this package back to their respective bases, and once the package is captured it respawns in the middle of the map and is up for grabs again.
The new modes will be available as part of an automatic update that also includes tweaks and a wide array of fixes for the game.
