Rockstar Games has released a new update for Grand Theft Auto: Online, the multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V. The update is named after a new adversary mode called "Power Play".
The Power Play gamemode gives players access to several unique abilities to outplay their opponents. Each player can use one power up at a time, but layers of strategy exist through stacking power-ups with other teammates, or triggering power-ups to counteract enemy team advantages. The update introduces six power-ups and can only be utilized temporarily.
Six new power-ups
| Beasted | Transform into the Beast and use special powers like invisibility, super jump, and super strength. |
| Zoned | Slow down time for all players, giving snipers a tactical advantage over exposed enemies. |
| Doped | Dull your enemy's senses with a trippy green haze; they’ll never see that flank coming... |
| Raging | Unleash a rampage with your entire team by inflicting increased damage while taking reduced damage. |
| Flipped | Scramble your opponents by picking up Flipped, temporarily inverting all enemy camera controls and mixing team chat to truly get in their heads. |
| Dark | Take your team off the grid for well-timed sneak attacks. |
In addition to the new gamemode the update also introduces a blazing-fast Grotti X80 Proto to the Supercar roster at Legendary Motorsport. The space-age, low-profile body harnesses a beastly engine, making for a finely tuned machine ready for dominance – especially handy when needing to make Special Cargo Deliveries in a hurry.
The new gamemode is available now for the PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4 version of the game. The gamemode can be accessed through the Jobs menu.
