Unleashing Mayhem: Unveiling the Ultimate Ranking of Grand Theft Auto Online's Most Thrilling Freemode Events

Grand Theft Auto Online has evolved from a rocky start into a beloved pastime for gamers. It is now more than just a multiplayer mode for Grand Theft Auto 5, but rather a captivating online multiplayer experience that has spanned a decade. There is a wide array of modes available for players to participate in, emphasizing both teamwork and solo play, ensuring that the content never becomes dull. The developers continuously provide updates, keeping the experience fresh.

One of the latest updates to Freemode allows players to compete in a full lobby with a variety of Freemode Events. These events continue the chaotic nature of GTA Online by introducing new modes for players to engage in. However, these modes are not just ordinary deathmatches. They feature unique and unusual rules rarely seen in competitive contexts. This expansion allows GTA Online to stand out from the crowd in a saturated multiplayer market.

5 Moving Target

In Moving Target, players transform into couriers, competing in a fierce mode where they must secure control of a specific vehicle. Driving this vehicle to a designated area is no easy task, especially while being bombarded by bullets from other players. However, this mode allows players to experience exhilarating car chases unlike any other in the GTA series. The driver's team acts as a support system against the attacking team, transforming ordinary shootouts into high-speed battles on the road. Unsurprisingly, this often results in complete vehicular chaos.

As the speed escalates and explosions ignite, players find themselves immersed in a therapeutic chaos. But despite the chaos, strategy still plays a crucial role. The defending team must coordinate their routes and maintain their pace, while the attacking players must think creatively. After all, destroying a vehicle is much more challenging than taking down a person. With the vast array of vehicles available in Los Santos, this engaging gameplay loop remains fresh for both sides. Moving Target truly puts fans' driving skills to the test, as well as their shooting abilities.

4 Kill List

In GTA 5's Kill List mode, players are faced with the relentless Merryweather mercenaries. These skilled fighters come armed with the most powerful weapons and will stop at nothing to track down their targets in Los Santos. No matter where players try to hide, Merryweather is always one step ahead, forcing them to fight for their lives. Despite the intense challenge, the experience is incredibly thrilling and satisfying, especially when facing the enemy with friends. However, players must also be aware that any moment could be their last, adding a heightened sense of urgency to every action they take. Adding to the excitement, Kill List offers access to rare weapons like miniguns, making it even more satisfying to take down Merryweather.

3 Penned In

Introducing a new level of intensity in territorial battles, players are now challenged to stay within a colossal dome. However, there's a twist - the dome gradually shrinks as the match progresses. This not only makes it more difficult to remain inside, but also increases the chances of players eliminating each other.

Penned In combines the thrilling elements of Kill List with a dynamically changing battleground. Victory is achieved by immobilizing opponents, prompting fierce battles. Simultaneously, those at the opposite end are motivated to advance forward. This mode constantly demands that players adjust their positions. With the dome shrinking and the area growing more crowded, fans can experience a mounting sense of desperation - it's as if the very walls are closing in.

2 Hunt The Beast

This mode is undeniably out of the ordinary, and that's what makes it so captivating. In the game mode called Hunt The Beast, one player willingly transforms into a werewolf during Freeemode events. The remaining players then must embark on a mission to locate and capture this creature. This unusual concept adds an undeniable exhilaration to the game, although it may also have a sadistic edge. This unique matchup may appear to be unbalanced, but that's precisely the intention. The experience of being pursued can be just as thrilling, if not more so, than being the one doing the chasing. Imagine facing a higher level of danger in the main game, with astute pursuers hot on your heels. In the meantime, these pursuers have to contend with the fact that a monstrous entity is roaming free. The menacing growls and terrified screams, reminiscent of a slasher film or monster flick, add a touch of realism to the mode. The difference here is that this beast possesses intelligence, capable of driving vehicles and wielding firearms. When it starts eliminating opponents using these tools, the suspense only escalates. Such is the unexpected exhilaration derived from this unpredictable game mode.

1 King Of The Castle

The thrill of storming a fortress surpasses even the excitement of open-field warfare. In the game King of the Castle, one team is entrusted with the defense of a heavily armored building. Holding control of this fortress grants them not only wealth but various other rewards as well. Although it may seem nonsensical, the value attached to this prize is undeniable. The opposing team, recognizing its worth, besieges the structure in an effort to claim it for themselves. The premise alone is enough to spark excitement, and this excitement only intensifies as the match progresses.

King of the Castle encourages creativity and resourcefulness from all participants. The attacking team must contend not only with the players aiming at them but also with the strategic placement of landmines and other defenses surrounding the base. To break through these barriers, attackers must carefully select their weaponry and vehicles, forcing the fortified team to remain alert at all times. However, the game mode is not as straightforward as simply eliminating the opposition. Killing the lower-ranking members actually empowers the king, presenting attackers with a dilemma. Should they focus on taking down one formidable adversary or deal with a squad of regular foes? These elements combine to deliver an exhilarating experience reminiscent of a virtual gang war, ensuring that monotony never sets in. Overcoming these obstacles and conquering the castle produces a sense of achievement far greater than any other game mode.

Grand Theft Auto Online is available on PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
