Dogfight

Overview

Dogfight is a Team PVP Adversary Mode for 2 to 10 players on two teams, released on November 7, 2017, during P-45 Nokota Week as part of the continued rollout of the Smuggler's Run update. It has seven versions, set around Los Santos International Airport, Fort Zancudo, the Sandy Shores Airfield, Los Santos, the Pacific near the USS Luxington, Grapeseed and the RON Alternates Wind Farm.

How it works

Instead of a free-for-all in the sky, the match is a sequence of duels. One player from each team takes off and has two minutes to shoot down the other. A kill earns a point for the team, and if neither pilot scores, the duel is a draw. The next pair then takes over until everyone has flown. A team with only one player sends that player into every duel.

A round has five duels, and the team that wins more of them takes the round. The round ends as soon as the result is settled, so three straight wins skip the last two duels. Pilots choose from the V-65 Molotok, Buckingham Pyro and P-45 Nokota.

Tips

• Pick the aircraft you can control best rather than the one with the biggest guns.
• Use the two-minute timer. Playing for a draw denies the opponent a point if you are outmatched.
• Watch your rear. An opponent who gets behind you usually wins the duel.

Rewards and unlocks

• Cash and RP based on performance. No fixed payout is listed.
