'Grand Theft Auto Online' Adds New Multi-Stage Mode, Double Rewards on LSA Operations, and More

by Rainier on Aug. 22, 2024 @ 8:26 a.m. PDT

Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.

When a young street hustler, a retired bank robber and a terrifying psychopath find themselves entangled with some of the most frightening and deranged elements of the criminal underworld, the U.S. government and the entertainment industry, they must pull off a series of dangerous heists to survive in a ruthless city in which they can trust nobody, least of all each other.

Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover.

Grand Theft Auto V also comes with Grand Theft Auto Online, the dynamic and ever-evolving online universe for up to 30 players, and includes all existing gameplay upgrades and content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Rise through the ranks to become a CEO of your own criminal empire by trading contraband or form a Motorcycle Club and rule the streets. Pull off daring co-operative Heists, enter adrenaline-fueled Stunt Races, compete in unique Adversary Modes or create your own content to play and share with the entire GTA community.

An explosive new multi-stage mode, Assault on ATT-16, is now available in GTA Online, in which two teams battle against each other from the tarmac at Fort Zancudo to the deck of an aircraft carrier and the skies above Southern San Andreas, with each new stage heightening the stakes for Attackers and Defenders. 

Plus, players who try the new mode will earn double the usual payouts, plus a GTA$100K bonus for winning two times.

Full details from this week’s update include:

  • New Assault on ATT-16 Adversary Mode

Battle It Out Across the Ground, Sea, and Skies in Assault on ATT-16

What do you call a black ops team staging an all-out assault on Fort Zancudo? Answer: Stage One. Stage Two is where it really gets interesting: a full-scale offensive dismantling of an aircraft carrier’s defenses, opening the door of its hangar, and commandeering the F-160 Raiju jet inside.

Assault on ATT-16 is the explosive new high-stakes GTA Online Adversary Mode that pits two teams against each other across five different stages in the air, on the ground, and at sea.

Reaching each new stage escalates the conflict. Attackers can increase their cash reward by stealing hard drives from servers set up at each stage, while Defenders get a boost if these remain untouched. Finding and delivering a supply truck can upgrade the Attacking team’s Rogue plane that’s available on respawn with extra armor, speed, and weapon modifications — and both teams can utilize the cataclysmic Orbital Cannon Terminal to rain fire down from above.

Enter the fray by heading over to the blip outside of Fort Zancudo or by opening your iFruit > Quick Join > Series Modes > Assault on ATT-16.

During its inaugural week, Assault on ATT-16 will award 2X GTA$ and RP, while winning two times will complete the Weekly Challenge and result in a GTA$100,000 bonus. You can also measure your success with dedicated Pause Menu Awards.

Beginning this week, we are also rotating Series Modes to improve matchmaking and make room for new additions. As always, let us know what you want to see more of by making your voice heard via our GTA Online Feedback page.
