Slipstream

Overview

Slipstream is a team Adversary Mode added with the 1.36 Bikers update on October 4, 2016. It supports 4 to 16 players in 2 to 4 teams. The seven courses cover both Los Santos and Blaine County. Slipstream I loops through Del Perro, Little Seoul, Pillbox Hill and the Vinewood Hills. Slipstream IV crosses the Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness and Cassidy Creek, and Slipstream VII runs through Cypress Flats, Elysian Island and Terminal.

How it works

• Teams ride motorcycles through a series of checkpoints, and the first team over the finish line wins.
• Riding close together in formation gives a slipstream speed boost. The tighter the formation, the stronger the boost.
• A checkpoint turns red and can't be passed until every member of the team reaches it, so stragglers hold everyone back.
• Melee attacks from the bike are the only way to fight, used to knock rival riders off.

Tips

• Stay tight. A disciplined formation is faster than any single rider.
• Assign a strong rider to the back to protect slower teammates.
• Time melee hits on rival riders at corners, where a fall costs the most.

Rewards and unlocks

• Seven variations are available, Slipstream I to VII.
• The mode was released with the Bikers update in October 2016.
