The objective of Offense Defense in GTA Online is quite simple. There are two teams: Runners and Blockers. Runners are tasked with reaching various checkpoints spread throughout the map while the Blockers need to stop the opposing Runners from doing so. On top of that, they need to defend their Runners from the enemy Blockers.

The Runners need to complete their race in a Vodoo while the Blockers can pick from an assortment of vehicles during each match. It would have been great if Rockstar Games allowed players to use some of the Salvage yard robbery vehicles, but the existing ones suit the races.

The team that reaches all the checkpoints first wins the match. It is worth noting that only the Runners can see the checkpoints. Hence, the Blockers need to be on the lookout for both their runners as well the opponent's. Getting killed/destroyed will simply respawn you on the map allowing you to continue having fun without having to sit out and wait for the match to end.


Overall, Offense Defense in GTA Online is an excellent Adversary Mode that promises loads of fun and challenge to anyone willing. With the double bonus, it has become much more lucrative. In the meantime, you can also check out the current Podium vehicle of the week.
