GTA Online Would Benefit From A Battle Royale Mode

Whenever long stretches of time pass in between the release of two major GTA Online DLCs, the community always flares up in terms of speculation as to what kind of content they hope to see in the game. Of course, that speculation is there at all times, because this is the Grand Theft Auto community we are talking about, but it gets more frequent whenever there isn't any new content to chew over.

Plenty of great ideas have been spawned by this effect. A few of them have been implemented in the game over time. Some are turned into mods. Others just get a ton of comments with people reiterating how cool that given feature would be. You can't expect Rockstar to implement every single idea that gets a dozen upvotes on Reddit, after all.

One of the newest feature ideas that gained some traction in the GTA community is the idea of adding a Battle Royale kind of mode to Online. For the young ones among you, that would pretty much be Hunger Games.

The idea calls for a lobby where both the main map and minimap is disabled, players are given the weakest pistol with low ammo and the objective is to kill everyone else. One life, no respawns. There would be no PEDs or NPC cars driving around the map. Weapons, vehicles and consumables would be extremely scarce and hidden in strategic locations, with the Military Base housing the best gear, but it would be defended by NPC soldiers.

Of course, to make something like this work in GTA Online, quite a bit of fine-tuning would be required. Many players have suggested additional mechanics to prevent matches turning into several-hour long games of boring cat-and-mouse. After a set amount of time, a sudden-death zone would appear on the outskirts of the map and slowly decrease in size, forcing players close together, similar to "Penned In".
