The Sprunk vs. eCola war in GTA Online was one of the most intense free-roam events in recent memory. Rockstar Games launched the event on August 25, 2022, and it was active until September 14, 2022. During this time, the streets of Los Santos turned red and green with players supporting their favorite brand.

Although many interesting activities have come and gone since then, gamers still cherish the memories of that event. Based on the rumors about upcoming updates, one can assume that it's unlikely the developers will bring back such events in the immediate future. However, this article explains why GTA Online should consider organizing the legendary Sprunk vs eCola war again.

Reasons to bring back the Sprunk vs. eCola war in GTA Online
The Sprunk vs. eCola war in GTA Online gave birth to many in-game mischievous activities and memories. It was the second iteration of the Green vs. Purple Alien Wars, but, this time, Rockstar officially launched the event.
As part of the event, gamers had to drink their favorite in-game soft drink to show support for that specific brand. While the main focus was on the drinks, the developers spiced up the event by adding colorful costumes, unique liveries, and much more.
This full-fledged war had no effect on the standard multiplayer game. Players could engage in it as a side activity or take a break from their normal routine to participate in gang wars between supporters.
While it's certainly not desirable to bother other players for no reason within the multiplayer mode, seeing a swarm of people dressed in red and green full-body costumes beating each other up on a large scale was certainly entertaining.
These sights were common during both the Green vs. Purple Alien war and the Sprunk vs. eCola war, with players eagerly rushing to participate whenever such events occurred.
The basic concept of these events is fairly simple. They divide the entire lobby into two rival groups, uniting random supporters under one brand or color. To make things interesting, there are multiple sneaky players who switch from one team to another without anyone noticing. These diverse elements make the gameplay distinct and entertaining.
The Sprunk vs. eCola war was a full-fledged event where Rockstar added several event-themed elements to GTA Online. Even the cars in Simeon's and Luxury Autos' showrooms were decked out in matching designs. The next version should likely include even more souvenirs, similar to the Halloween event.
Similarities with the Cops 'n' Crooks game mode
The previously canceled Cops 'n' Crooks game mode in GTA Online shares some similarities with the Sprunk vs. eCola event. Both events divide players into two groups that compete against one another. The former was rumored to be an Adversary Mode-style event, whereas the latter is a free-roam event.
While the Grand Theft Auto community is hoping for the return of the Cops 'n' Crooks DLC, the game developers could also include the Sprunk vs. eCola and Green vs. Purple Alien wars as distinct game modes.
In conclusion, the alien wars and the soft-drink wars were two of the most entertaining events in GTA Online history. Reintroducing them would be a great move as it would allow gamers to take a break from their usual grind and join forces with strangers for some chaotic fun.
