Adversary Modes
A competitive family of team Jobs where roles and win conditions change across pursuit, escort, territory, elimination, vehicle and multi-stage assault modes. The index groups the documented mechanics catalogue without promising that every historical Job is always visible in matchmaking.
ADVERSARY / MODESComplete activity guide
Rockstar cycles some Adversary Jobs in and out. Mansion Raid, Deadline Duet, Motor Wars (Cayo Perico), Assault on Cayo Perico, Assault on ATT-16 and Slasher (Ramius) are rotational, Featured or seasonal entries—none has confirmed permanent visibility. If a name is absent from Rockstar Created/Featured Series, choose an active mode from the same group rather than forcing an inactive Job. Economics remain informational.
Start here
Adversary Modes
Open Pause Menu → Online → Jobs → Play Job → Rockstar Created → Adversary Modes. You can also use phone Quick Join or an active Featured/Adversary Series marker.
Depending on the mode, 2–30 players and usually at least two teams; all supported platforms, while specific playlists can differ. Ordinary launch requires no property or fee.
Reset the filter to Rockstar Created and check Featured Series. If Mansion Raid, Deadline Duet, Motor Wars (Cayo Perico), Assault on Cayo Perico, Assault on ATT-16 or Slasher (Ramius) is absent, that rotational/Featured/seasonal entry is not currently exposed—it is not an account error. Do not treat an unofficial Job ID as guaranteed permanent access.

01 • First completion, step by step
First completion, step by step
01 Choose an active mode
- ACTION
- Open the current list and choose a name whose description clearly defines the roles. For a first run, simple asymmetric rules such as Hasta La Vista, Sumo or an active territory mode are easier to read.
- TIP
- Do not choose only by map; the win-condition description matters more than the weapon set.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- A historical name in the guide can be temporarily absent from the list.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Choose an active mode from the same mechanics group and keep the role plan; do not force an inactive bookmark.
02 Read the role and rounds
- ACTION
- Before readying up, check whether you are a Runner, Hunter, Attacker, Defender, Target, Bodyguard or a regular team, and whether roles swap after a round.
- TIP
- Tell the team in one sentence what ends the round: surviving the timer, delivery, zone control, elimination or stage completion.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- Playing for kills in a package/zone mode can lose the round despite an elimination lead.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Return to the main objective and send one player as objective runner while the rest provide cover.
03 Configure a fair lobby
- ACTION
- The host checks rounds, time limit, matchmaking, team balancing and any mode-supplied vehicles/weapons.
- TIP
- For learning, use at least two rounds when roles swap so both teams experience each side.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- A single round of an asymmetric mode can favour only one side of the map/role.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Return to settings before the ready screen and increase rounds or enable balancing.
04 Play the role, not the scoreboard
- ACTION
- Runner/Target moves to the checkpoint or zone; Defender holds a chokepoint; Hunter/Attacker forces the objective to move; escort protects the correct player/vehicle.
- TIP
- Keep spacing: protection moves one step ahead of the objective rather than behind it; attackers push from two sides instead of feeding one by one.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- Leaving the spawn/condition zone can block your progress or leave the Target unescorted.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Regroup on the next respawn and choose one shared route; do not try to recover the whole map alone.
05 Adapt after the side swap
- ACTION
- After a round read the new role. Use what the opponent showed: copy a strong chokepoint, counter their route or change the driver/Target.
- TIP
- In multi-round modes the overall result can depend on points, not only the last round.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- Repeating the previous role after an automatic side swap sends players away from the new objective.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Pause on the opening screen, name the new roles and only then move.
06 Close the match
- ACTION
- Play the required rounds and wait for the final scoreboard and GTA$/RP/JP settlement. Choose Replay only after checking that the mode remains active.
- TIP
- Final result and Job configuration affect the reward; do not apply one mode's amount to the entire family.
- RISK / FAILURE CONDITION
- Leaving before the final screen can lose match completion or Career Progress.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- Wait for the save; if the lobby dissolves, return to Rockstar Created/Featured and choose an active entry.
02 • Variants and mechanics

- MECHANIC

- COMPLETION
- The objective reaches the end/survives or is eliminated before the limit.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- After losing escorts slow the objective and regroup; after losing the Runner, the next round is the only way to recover the match.
Territory, packages and control
Typically 2–16An active Rockstar Created/Featured entry.
- OBJECTIVE
- Control a zone, move a package or hold points longer than the opposition.
- MECHANIC
- Index: Cross the Line, Drop Zone, Inch by Inch, In and Out, Turf Wars, Land Grab, Occupy, Stockpile, Collection Time and Dawn Raid. Assault on Cayo Perico, Assault on ATT-16 and Mansion Raid form the multi-stage end of this group, but they are rotational/Featured and have no confirmed permanent visibility.

Slasher (Ramius) is a seasonal variant with no confirmed permanent visibility.
- COMPLETION
- Last team/role alive or the elimination/score target reached.
- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN

The final two are Featured/rotational entries with no confirmed permanent visibility.
- COMPLETION

- HOW TO RECOVER THE RUN
- After losing a vehicle use the mode-supplied respawn and return to the objective rather than a revenge duel.
Bunker / Missile Base / Diamond Series
Depends on the base modeWhile the themed series is active in the menu/marker.
- OBJECTIVE
- Play a known mechanic on a special interior map.
- MECHANIC
- Mechanics index used by themed series: Entourage, Every Bullet Counts, Hardest Target, Juggernaut, Kill Quota, Power Play, Resurrection, Slasher, Till Death Do Us Part and Trading Places. A themed map does not create a new economy or separate guide family.

03 • Real roles / Strategies
Real roles i Strategies
Objective runner / Target
Handles the route, zone or package and must not be left without escort.
Escort / Defender
Builds a safe corridor and protects the objective rather than chasing distant kills.
Interceptor / Attacker
Blocks the predicted route and pressures from a second angle rather than making isolated charges.
Choose an active mode with a one-sentence objective, play an even number of rounds and name roles before launch. Understanding both sides' win conditions matters more than the first-session result.
Build the team around the objective runner, force respawns away from the objective and use side swaps to counter-plan. In a rotating catalogue, learn the mechanics group rather than one map.
04 • Reward and economic status
Team result and rounds • informational
GTA$, RP and JP depend on win/loss, rounds, duration, player count and the selected Adversary Mode settings. Finish the match and its scoreboard; leaving mid-match is not a reliable earnings model. Because the active catalogue rotates and has no universal base table, the family remains outside rankings.
Observed range specific to this activity; variant, result, duration or completion condition selects the value within it. Event multipliers are excluded.
B • community-reportedThe formula and roles apply to the stated settlement unit; event multipliers are excluded.
B • community-reported05 • Common mistakes and recovery
Common mistakes and recovery
Searching endlessly for an inactive name
Check Rockstar Created and Featured; treat an absent mode as out of rotation.
Playing only for kills
State the win condition and assign an objective runner before moving.
One asymmetric round
Use an even number of rounds so roles swap fairly.
Applying one mode's payout to all modes
Read that Job's settlement; the family stays outside hourly rankings.
