What is Judgement Day in GTA Online?

GTA Online added a new Adversary mode called Judgement Day in the 2022 Halloween update.

Explaining the concept in a blog post, Rockstar said: “The end is nigh in Judgement Day, a new Adversary Mode that pits a small team of powerful Riders against a vulnerable group of Hunted in a kill-or-be-killed, hide-and-seek scenario. The Hunted need only worry about surviving through dawn.

“Riders will begin each round on an LCC Sanctus and are equipped with extra health, speed, a Double Barrel Shotgun, Stone Hatchet, and a host of abilities — including a brief burst of thermal vision, heartbeat sense, and health regeneration when near their Sanctus. Riders also deal increased damage when near their Sanctus and will respawn if downed before the final minute.

“Riders must sniff out and eliminate the Hunted to emerge victorious. Hunted will find weapons strewn across the map, which Riders cannot pick up. While killing a Rider won’t be an easy task, it’s the only way to bring a fallen teammate back into the fray for a crucial bit of backup — though resurrections are disabled in the final minute.”

Is there a GTA 6 teaser in Halloween update?

There has been a lot of speculation about the possibility of a GTA 6 teaser being dropped in the Halloween update.

While it has not been found yet, we will update fans should it appear.
