Rockstar really is in rapid-fire mode with new content. Following closely after the Be My Valentine update for GTA Online, they announced a week-long event doubling RP and GTA$ payouts on contact missions. That particular event ended yesterday but Rockstar isn't resting. In recent months Rockstar has taken to releasing new Adversary Modes as mini-updates on their own, or as a part of GTA Online events commemorating a holiday. Such Adversary Modes include Running Back, Drop-Zone and Every Bullet Counts.
Rockstar has now released yet another new Adversary Mode and announced an event to go with it. Contrasting the tender approach of Till Death Do Us Part, the new Adversary Mode is all about sheer firepower. Trophy hunters, gear up!
Rhino Hunt, GTA Online's new Adversary Mode pits asymmetrical teams of sticky-bomb toting buggy drivers against one or two Rhino operators. It should go without saying that the goal of each team is to eliminate the other.
Fights are not nearly as one sided as you may think. While the Rhino tank is massive, heavily armored and packs a massive punch, the buggies and other smaller vehicles driven by the other team are nimble enough to dodge shots, not to mention they offer a very small target for the tank. Add to that the fact that sticky bombs do ridiculous amounts of damage and you've got yourself a fair fight.
The "Hunters" as they are called may quickly become the hunted. The large and slow tanks may offer easy targets however it won't be easy taking them out. As a Hunter, you'd do well to stay moving at all times, because taking even a single shot from a Rhino is fatal.
Currently, there are three locations in GTA Online where you can play Rhino Hunt. You can also just jump in on a playlist to experience it all in one go.
As further enticement Rockstar has also kicked off a sweet week-long event focusing on Adversary Modes. Obviously the focus is on Rhino Hunt, but the other modes get some bonuses too.
