Running Back

Running Back is a Lowriders Adversary Mode where a Panto-driving Runner, backed by Bifta teammates, must break through Defenders to reach the end zone.

Overview

Running Back is an Adversary Mode added on November 24, 2015, as part of the continuation of the Lowriders update. It supports 4 to 8 players and unlocks at Rank 12. Rockstar described it as a mix of Hunting Pack, Cross The Line and Offense Defense. There are three variations: Running Back I on the Cassidy Creek Bridge, Running Back II on the San Andreas Avenue Bridge and Running Back III in the Fort Zancudo Tunnel.

How it works

Two teams start at opposite ends of a roadway. The Runner drives a tiny Benefactor Panto and has two minutes to cross the end zone line at the far end. Offense teammates in BF Biftas clear a path, while Defenders, also in Biftas, block and ram the Runner to stop them.

The host is the first Runner. In matches of two or more rounds, the teams swap starting sides, and the Runner role passes to the highest-ranked player.

Tips

  • As the Runner, wait for blockers to engage the Defenders before committing to a lane.
  • Offense players should ram Defenders head-on to knock them out of position.
  • Defenders should spread out across the road rather than chase the Runner as a pack.
  • The Panto is light; one solid hit can spin it, so avoid open contact.

Rewards and unlocks

  • Unlocks at Rank 12.
  • Standard Adversary Mode payouts of cash and RP.
