Players ofGrand Theft Auto Onlineknow how tricky things can get once they start going wild with their vehicles, especially with the Los Santos Police Department on their trail. Thankfully, fans ofGTA Onlinewho want to unleash vehicular hell on other players will finally be able to do so inVehicle Vendetta, an Adversary Mode that sounds exactly like it reads.
Vehicle Vendetta takes players of two teams in certain regions of a map where they can duke it out with certain vehicles, weapons, and powers-up. It’s the straightforward nature of the game mode that makes it such a fun thing to do, with players not only needing to eliminate opponents but keep them and their team safe from other obstacles as well. How exactly can players dominate in Vehicle Vendetta?
7Vehicle Vendetta: The Basics
Unlikeother Adversary ModesinGTA Onlinethat give players the opportunity to eliminate each other in bloody mayhem, Vehicle Vendetta adds a spin to the concept: vehicles. Not only that, but maps within Vehicle Vendetta work two ways. The original Vehicle Vendetta mode happens on platforms above a region of the map, while Vehicle Vendetta Street happens in enclosed streets of a map.

Here are other things to consider when it comes to this mode’s mechanics:
6Mind The Power-Ups
Like other racing death games, Vehicle Vendetta Mode inGTA Onlinedoes give players the opportunity to secure the advantage through various power-ups. These come in the form of extra weapon upgrades, simple buffs, towhopping transformationsthat can easily turn the tide of battle. These power-ups include:
5Keep Moving
One of the best ways to win Vehicle Vendetta is tokeep moving, especially since a lot of the power-ups that damage players will require aiming anyway. It’s hard enough to move a vehicle, so it’s reasonable that aiming with the built-in machine guns could be tricky as well.

Players will want to move around as often as possible to avoid being aimed at by opponents and still have a bit of legroom to move out of other obstacles. Practice quick drifts, reversals, and fast turns to secure the movement advantage as often as possible.
4Stay Sharp For Warnings
One of the most useful features of Vehicle Vendetta is how the game warns the players if an enemy team acquires a powerful power-up, particularly the Beast and Deadline. This should give players ample time to prepare their defenses or even dodge throughout the game mode’sspectacular areas.
Once the warnings arrive, the best course of action is to try and steer clear of these vehicles to ensure they don’t get as much use from their power-ups as possible. It’s also useful to apply the derailing tactic here, since transformed enemies will likely be careless and want to secure points. This is probably the best time to lead them into ring-outs.
3Check For Pitfalls
When in the standard Vehicle Vendetta Mode, most of its arenas have pitfalls that arepractically instant death trapsfor players who aren’t careful. Considering how some vehicles are tricky to navigate once stuck in these holes, players need to stay sharp and stay clear them as much as possible.

It’s also interesting as how this mechanic could be used to the player’s advantage as well. When fighting against a particularly persistent opponent, players may instead want to lure them close enough to a pitfall to force them over before even managing to capture the player.
2Practice Inverted Controls
The Flipped is easily one of the most annoying power-ups in the game since it flips the controls forplayer characters. In arenas above the sky, this is almost always an invitation to fall off a gravity pit, since it’s tricky for players to dodge obstacles when their controls are warped.
To avoid this mishap, players might want to practice using inverted controls to anticipate such a scenario. That way, adjusting to the Flipped Power Up becomes much easier, and players may even surprise opponents by this unexpected occurrence.
1Consider The Manual Respawn
When players find themselves stuck and unable to move in obstacles, they can perform a manual respawn by holding their button assigned to enter/exit the vehicle. This is an extremely useful strategy when dealing with certain power-upswhile driving.
For instance, players who got stuck in an area due to the vehicle acceleration effect of the Deadline Power Up can manually respawn their way back to the road. Likewise, players derailed by the Beast Power Up can strafe left and right before performing the manual respawn to return to a more stable position.
