Rockstar Games has just updated its hugely popular open-world exploration title "Grand Theft Auto V" with what has become known as the Freemode events update. The patch brought the Rockstar Editor to the console versions of the game. In addition, the update expanded the already-massive world of the fifth installment of the long-running "GTA" franchise and added events that players can get into and accomplish for more rewards and reputation points.
The events included in the update vary in range, from simple survival mode, racing challenges, to hunting a character either by teamplay or solo hunts. The missions in the event update is diverse, and veteran players from industry observers like IGN have their own favorites.
However, because of the many facets of the freemode events update, even veteran players of the multiplayer "GTA Online" title find it hard to accomplish the missions. With at least 11 events to choose from, not to mention different requisites for each event to be triggered, some players just check out each dot representing the events in free roam mode and try to finish in a trial-and-error, on-the-fly type of gameplay.
To help players with the different freemode events, Rockstar Games posted different tips, both for beginners and hardcore fans alike:
- Stock up. You'll need lots of firepower and a variety of vehicles so be sure to load up on ammo, armor and snacks and have a diverse mix of rides in your garage, from motorcycles to fast cars to off-road vehicles - be prepared to dial up your Mechanic at the drop of a dime. Similarly, you should also have a chopper or plane at the ready from Pegasus.
- Be generous. Team up and share your cash by going to the Inventory section in your Interaction menu, and select Cash. From there, choose which player you'd like to share with as well as a percentage cut.
- Periodically, purple help text and UI will pop onto your screen. Be on the lookout for these messages as they will provide helpful information specific to the Freemode Events.
- Keep your eyes on the prize. Stay focused on the main objective in all Events rather than getting bogged down in fighting other challengers, risking defeat by another player.
- If you want to avoid auto-targeting your friends during Events, be sure to set your Player Targeting Priority to Strangers.
