GTA V update 1.30 Patch Notes
New Arena War
Enter Arena War, where ruthless gladiatorial combat meets the bleeding-edge of vehicular modification technology in one spectacular – and highly combustible – competition. Sign up and embark on an entirely new career under the stratospheric dome of the Maze Bank Arena, one that involves turning your opponent’s brains into pulp on the steering wheel in the name of entertainment, courtesy of Alan Jerome Productions.
Compete in all new vehicle types custom built for the Arena across seven explosive new modes. As your Arena War career progresses, you’ll earn Arena Points and use them to rank up and unlock even more toys to take into the Arena or out onto the streets.
New Content – PS4, Xbox One and PC only
- The Maze Bank Arena property has been added to GTA Online. The Arena allows players to participate in the following Arena War Modes which are new vehicular based game types set inside the Arena:
- Carnage (2-16 Players)
- There’s no need to overcomplicate things: Americans have always known how to have good, old fashioned, rats-in-a-sack, murder-orgy fun. All we need to do is provide a fresh and unpredictable set of tools, roll the cameras, and get the hell out of the way. No mercy, no disqualification, no safe word.
- Flag War (2-16 Players)
- Two teams, two flags, one objective: what’s yours is mine, and what’s mine stays mine. The classic capture the flag formula reworked Arena War style to include enough gasoline-chugging violence to appeal to a mainstream audience.
- Wreck It (2-16 Players)
- It’s theoretically possible to win a round of Wreck It by crossing the line first in a fair-and-square lap race. But don’t worry: that’s never happened, because the alternative is coasting across the line after you’ve reduced any serious competition to heaps of smoldering scrap metal. Like the old saying goes, if it’s not a race to the death, you’re just not taking it seriously enough.
- Tag Team (2-16 Players)
- Arena War isn’t all about ruthless individualism. Sometime there really is safety in numbers – and in Tag Team you’re going to need it. Each team has one player in the Arena at a time, and their only objective is to immolate the opposition. If you’re taking heavy fire you can tag in one of your teammates, but remember, this only ends one way – and it’s you or them.
- Games Masters (2-16 Players)
- When it comes to brutal Arena designs, you can install the most exquisitely hazardous death traps on the market, but there’s just no substitute for the sheer ingenuity and sadism of a properly incentivized human being. One team collects checkpoints, the other uses every fiendish tool at the Arena’s disposal to make their plans go up in smoke. And be sure to hold onto your grudges: after every round, you switch places.
- Here Come the Monsters (2-16 Players)
- Say what you like about gladiatorial fights to the death as a form of mass entertainment – they’ve got no hangups about being fair. One team takes to the Arena in monster trucks capable of crushing metal and bone into the same bloody dust. The other guys get compact cars and a dose of anxiety meds – but if even one of them survives, they win. Let the games begin.
- Hot Bomb (2-16 Players)
- Life isn’t about holding onto good things, it’s about passing them on. Like inherited wealth, or a sense of entitlement. Or a high-explosive device. In Hot Bomb, one player has the bomb, and the only way to get rid of it is by crashing into someone else. Throw in a timer and a baying crowd, and survival of the fittest just got an upgrade.
- Carnage (2-16 Players)
- Arena Workshop. The Arena also provides players with an Arena Workshop which is used to modify and upgrade applicable standard vehicles into Arena vehicles and purchase and modify new Arena Ready vehicles. The Arena can be purchased from the new arenawar.tv website in GTA Online and can be customized with a choice of office style, workshop graphics, workshop color and mechanic – optional add-ons such as vehicle storage and a personal quarters are also available.
- The Arena War Series has been added to GTA Online and can be accessed via the triggers in GTA Online Freemode or the Pause Menu
