Acquire Targets can be played between 4 and 16 players grouped into four teams. Players get to use aircraft like the P-996 LAZER, which is one of the best planes in GTA Online.

When the mission starts, everyone must rush towards a red circular icon hovering in the sky. This is the target, and whoever gets to it first needs to hold it for 20 seconds to score a point. The job of other players now is to steal the target for their team. This can be done by destroying the target holder.

No player gets permanently removed from the match. Once destroyed, they will respawn after a couple of seconds and can try to regain the target.

The first team to score five points is declared the winner and will be awarded double the usual amount of money and RP through May 3, 2023.
