With the double RP and GTA $ promo going on for Slasher, Beast vs. Slasher and Come out to Play, Rockstar felt like this is a good time to drop another one of its Adversary Mode Guide posts. With both Slasher and Come out to Play having been covered before, Beast vs. Slasher is joined by two other newer modes in this post.
We've adapted the majority of these posts into our own guides, which we've also expanded with our own tips in order to give you the edge over everyone else so you can nick those double rewards. This time around, Rockstar is looking at Beast vs. Slasher, Till Death do us Part and Extraction.
First up is Beast vs. Slasher, a mash-up of GTA Online's horror themed Adversary Mode and Freemode Events' most iconic activity. Unlike the regular Slasher Mode, this game sees an entire team of masked ax murderers take on not one, but similarly a team of semi-werewolves.
The slashers are further separated into three denominations: Heavy, Demolition and Assault. Heavies carry well-stocked miniguns, with one crux — ammo doesn't restock upon biting the dust. Those of the assault class wield railguns, while Demos carry RPGs, with the same ammo restriction.
Other than this, they all carry a number of other weapons which are identical across the classes. Slashers also have another special ability strengthening them: thermal vision. This will help the masked killers identify their quarry. Another good way to keep an eye on your opponents is by keeping close watch on the minimap, as Beasts are always marked when they reach a checkpoint.
While the slashers are mere mortals, their thermal vision and heavy arsenals still pose a threat to the superhuman beasts. Blessed with extreme speed, the ability to jump really high, temporary invisibility while being cursed with a furry body, the beasts don't have much of a fighting chance.
While slashers are limited in ammo, the Achilles' heel of the beasts is that using abilities consumes health, and said abilities will become unavailable when health is too low. That said, with the health regen of the beasts, you'll regain 75% of the green when standing still. Depending on your situation, choose wisely between enticing health pickups and other hidden nooks where you can get a breather.
