Hardest Target

Overview

Hardest Target is a two-team Adversary Mode in GTA Online, released on January 30, 2018, during Neon Week as part of The Doomsday Heist update. It supports 4 to 16 players and unlocks at Rank 1. The seven original maps are:

• Hardest Target I: Rancho
• Hardest Target II: the O'Neil Ranch in Grapeseed
• Hardest Target III: Paleto Bay
• Hardest Target IV: Sandy Shores
• Hardest Target V: Humane Labs and Research
• Hardest Target VI: the Pacific Bluffs Country Club
• Hardest Target VII: Pier 400 on Elysian Island

Missile Base - Hardest Target, at the Mount Chiliad Launch Facility, arrived during Arena War. Diamond - Hardest Target, inside The Diamond Casino & Resort, came with the Los Santos Summer Special.

How it works

At the start of the round, one player on each team becomes that team's Target and gets extra armor. Every minute the role passes to a different player. Only kills on Targets count: killing the enemy Target earns one point, and if a Target kills the other team's Target, the team gets three. Assault rifles, shotguns, grenades and other weapons are scattered around each map.

Tips

• Keep an eye on the timer, since you can suddenly become the Target yourself.
• When your teammate is the Target, form a screen around them instead of chasing kills.
• As a Target, look for chances to take out the rival Target personally for the triple score.

Rewards and unlocks

• Unlocked at Rank 1.
• Pays GTA$ and RP based on team result and performance.
