Everything to know about Deadline Adversary Mode in GTA Online

Deadline is an exciting adversary mode that requires players to ride Shotaro, a futuristic sports bike in GTA Online based on Light Cycle from Tron movies. Each player gets a different colored vehicle, which they need to drive over a large floating platform or map.

The objective is very simple as all participants must take out each other by blocking paths using the bike’s energy trail. As soon as players touch other competitors’ trails, their vehicles will instantly explode. It will result in deducting one life out of the total set by the host of the match.

However, it’s not easy as it sounds, as the sports bikes are scripted not to stop completely but only to a minimum speed. This may result in falling out of the arena and, hence, the deduction of one life. Even after losing a life, players can re-spawn if they have remaining lives for the round.

Here’re a few conditions in which players can lose their lives through a Deadline match:

• If they touch other bike’s energy trail
• If they touch their own vehicle’s energy trail
• If they fall out of the arena
• If they crash into an obstacle, resulting in the stoppage of the bike

Once gamers lose their allotted lives, they will no longer re-spawn and be considered losers for the match, and the last remaining one will be regarded as the winner. However, there is a timer throughout the round, and if the time runs out, the participant with the most remaining lives will become the winner automatically.

Players can also pick up any of the following three power-ups scattered around the Deadline maps:

1. Boost
2. Zoned
3. Hop
