The objective of the adversary mode is quite straightforward – jump off the Cargobob, a 10-seater helicopter, and hold the target area for as long as possible. The game mode can be played between four to 16 players, divided into two to four different teams. The team with the most time in the area or the one that fully captures it will be declared the winner.

Here’s a list of other possible conditions under which a match can end:

  • A team fully captured the Drop Zone
  • All participating teams get eliminated during Sudden Death
  • All participants or that of the opposing team get disconnected from the server

Here’s a list of in-game weapons that participants will be equipped with by default when starting the mode:

  • Micro SMG
  • Assault Rifle
  • A Grenade
  • Body Armor

Keep in mind that Rockstar now rotates adversary modes every now and then, due to which the Drop Zone might not be available all the time.
