"Grand Theft Auto V's" multiplayer mode, "GTA Online," is now offering a new mode called Deadline. Game developer Rockstar Games added a new vehicle, a motorcycle to be exact, plus more discounts on items.

The new futuristic motorcycle called Nagasaki Shotaro is capable of reaching hyper speed. It is a Tron-like bike, so the light trail it leaves behind is deadly to opponents. This new vehicle is available on a new game mode called Deadline in the Adversary Mode.

"Light up the night with the blazingly fast Nagasaki Shotaro. Packed with enough energy to power the Los Santos grid and sporting the looks of an auto show concept vehicle, the Shotaro delivers a driving experience that is out of this world. Experience the delights of the Shotaro first in the new Deadline Adversary Mode, which will unlock the bike for purchase at Legendary Motorsport, and the Deadline Outfit is also unlocked for purchase at any clothing store. And for a limited time, proud new Shotaro owners will get a free Nagasaki Logo Tee added to their wardrobe," the studio announced.

The new mode can give up to four players, with different colored Shotaro, to try out their driving skills on a custom map. Players will be eliminated once they touch another player's trail beam, which will make them explode. To make it more exciting, Rockstar added power-ups in the game. Players can use Boost to gain speed and cut them off or use Zoned to slow down time to perform a more complex maneuver. Then there is also Hop that will allow the players to jump over an opponent's light trail.

Additionally, the studio is also offering participating players the chance to earn Double GTA$ and RP. Players who will be purchasing the Shotaro bike will also get a free Nagasaki Logo shirt. Business supplies for the latest content are now offered with a 25 percent discount, while Bike Business sales are offering 50 percent more GTA$ and double RP. There are also discounts on other vehicles and weapons, like the Karin Technical and Savage, offer 25 percent discount, while MTL Brickade gives as much as 50 percent less on its cost.

"GTA Online" discounts and bonuses will be offered until Nov. 21.
