The developers finally listened and integrated our Battlegrounds mode into the game. Seeing this vision come to life after so much effort feels surreal. Keep an eye on the patch notes as we see how the community takes to the new arena.

Welcome to the Battlegrounds:

GTA 5 Battlegrounds is a battle royale game mode set in Los Santos. Each contender buys himself in with 20 000 dollars. You get airdropped into a huge arena, set in Los Santos. The goal is to find weapons, attachments and armor and kill all your rivals. The playzone will get smaller over time so all contenders will be pushed towards eachother. The last man standing will get a good portion of the buy in pot.

The Arena:

The arena will cover a big portion of the map. A potential location would be Paleto bay and the forest area. The circle that get's smaller over time will be dynamic. So where your game ends up is always different and makes life for campers hard.

The Gear:

You find weapons, attachments and armor dotted around the map in unmarked crates. You have to look for them in logical locations. These will also be dynamic, so you won't find crates in the same spot. Be fast and be careful, you best avoid conflict if you find yourself unarmed at the start.

The Weapons:

Finding weapons is key. You will find weapon crates with the weapon floating above it. Pick it up and the crate disapears.

The Attachments:

The attachments you find will buff and nerf certain stats of your guns

  • Scopes increase range
  • Barrel attachments silence weapons or increase range
  • Forgrips increase accuracy
  • Different ammo types increase damage


Armor and health:

These kits are sets. You will find Armor and a few snacks to keep you going. These are more common then weapon and attachment.

Vehicles:

You will be able to find vehicles as well. But be careful, they are handy to get you from point A to B fast but are also very loud and you will apear on the map for a short amount of time.

Enemies:

You and your enemies buy yourself in with 20 000 dollars. The winner of the Tournament will walk away with a nice chunk of the pot. In the arena, you and your enemies will apear of the radar at all times. Killing your enemies will get you 5000 dollars, a good show should be rewarded. Dieing, will make you loose your entire buy in, no matter what spot you end up in.

Camping:

Campers will be put at a major disadvantage. If a player sticks around the same area for too long he will be marked on the map for everyone to see for a short amount of time. So stay moving, or be killed

The playzone:

Over time, the playzone will get smaller. Every 5 minutes the zone will decrease in size. If you're out of boundries, the device planted inside your body will blow up and needless to say.. You're out. In the end the playzone will be that small that your forced to fight it out with your contenders.

Is this even possible?!

Yes! And it's quite easy as well. There is a Last team standing game mode in the game, there are textures, animations and code for decreasing playzones. All the models are in the game, including the attachments. The only thing that requires a bit of work is actually picking up the attachments and giving the player the option to add it to the gun or to deny it.

The buy in would be interesting for Rockstar as a business perspective as well. Have 30 players spend 20 000 dollars on a tournament is a lot of money, 29 players will loose money, while one player will walk away rich. Sounds like Sharkcard sales, right?

I have been spending hours reading through your suggestions for better loot drops and map flow in the arena. The sheer passion for this mode keeps me focused on getting the developers to finally pay attention to what we want to play.

Seeing the count climb toward one hundred shows me that I am not the only one imagining how intense a battle royale in Los Santos could be. This game mode is my passion project and having you backing it makes the vision feel real. Please get this in front of anyone who spends their time in Los Santos so we can hit this first major milestone today.

I think this would be great as people are addicted to PUBG and Fortnite. Many people love Gta V as well... Both of them together would be great! I think it should be 5k not 25k because less people would play like the more poor people, I will restart GTA online (Next Gen) and get the feel of starting again.

I don't know about the buy in I think there should be a premium mode with a buy in and a regular mode with none just like races and premium races

Since it will be all 30 players in the session, might as well use the whole map but have the safe zone end at a random place and not have maps of the location. Just because people will play it too much and will stay in one area or camping.

We need this in gta online this would make the game so much fun and I would be as bored just doing the same old same old (steal supplies, buy supplies, sell supplies) it's just getting old we need something better which would change the game and not only that more people would play gta which helps rockstar

Would also be cool if that, similar to racing outfits, you can make an specific, un-armored outfit for your character, so when you get a helmet or body armor, it shows on your body.
