Motor Wars

Overview

Motor Wars is an Adversary Mode in GTA Online, released on August 29, 2017, with the Smuggler's Run update. It supports 4 to 28 players in two to four teams and is played across seven maps: Pillbox Hill, the RON Alternates Wind Farm and Davis Quartz, Vinewood Hills, the Redwood Lights Track area, Elysian Island, Sandy Shores and Grapeseed around the Alamo Sea, and the Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness.

How it works

Teams jump from a Cargobob and parachute into the play area carrying only fists, a Knife and a Pistol. Better weapons are scattered across the map: Micro SMG, SMG, Assault Shotgun, Special Carbine, Combat MG, Grenade Launcher, RPG and Railgun. So are Weaponized Vehicles, including the Dune FAV, Weaponized Tampa, Nightshark with Anti-Aircraft Trailer, Technical Custom, Technical Aqua, Insurgent Pick-Up and its Custom version, Half-track, and a Ruiner 2000 on map VII.

Dead players do not respawn. The zone shrinks periodically, with a 10-second warning each time. Players caught outside have a few seconds to get back in before they die. If two or more teams are still alive at the end, two minutes of sudden death begin. Thirty seconds in, the zone starts closing, and anyone outside is killed instantly. The last team standing wins.

Tips

• Grab an armed vehicle quickly, since being on foot late in the match is very dangerous.
• Stay ahead of the shrinking zone instead of fighting at its edge.
• Keep your team together so you can trade fire and protect vehicle gunners.

Rewards and unlocks

• Pays GTA$ and RP based on the team's finishing position.
