How to participate in Carnage missions in GTA Online

It is tough to get bored in GTA Online simply because of the number of activities a player can partake in.

It is true that grinding has become a major aspect of moving up in the competitive world of GTA Online. The lack of a decent anti-hacking system makes it even more frustrating, as players have to deal with hackers and griefers.

Despite all this, the core formula of GTA Online, which Rockstar continues to improve with each update, remains quite intriguing. A player in this game has plenty of side activities to engage in apart from the usual missions and heists.

Carnage is one of the many Adversary Modes in GTA Online that came out with the Arena War update.

Teams are placed on opposite sides of the arena when the round begins and must utilize their vehicles to destroy competitors.
