Rockstar Games officially unveiled the new Deadline mode for "GTA: Online."

In the new Adversary mode, players will be able to ride the stylish and futuristic Nagasaki Shotaro bike that can be purchased from the in-game Legendary Motorsport auto dealer.

Sci-fi movie fans could see a striking resemblance of the game's new bike to the popular light cycle from the classic film "Tron." The bike emanates a light trail from its end, which can make an enemy blow up when they come into contact with it. This requires players to think of strategies to force their enemies to cross their trail to instantly eliminate them.

According to the game studio's official website: "Deadline pits up to four players against another, each mounted on a different colored Shotaro, which emits a temporary light trail as you ride through the arena. Any competitor unfortunate enough to come in contact with said trail meets an instant explosion."

After players unlock the Nagasaki Shotaro motorbike that comes with the Deadline mode of "GTA Online," they can also avail of the free Nagasaki Logo tee. However, the shirts are limited. This means that they have to act fast to be able to get the shirt.

The Deadline mode will also help players earn Double GTA$ and RP. It will also help them boost their Biker Business by offering 25 percent off when purchasing Business supplies and resupplies, as well as 50 percent GTA$ and twice the RP from the Biker Business Sales.

Other bonuses include 25 percent waived Heist completion requirement for Karin Technical and Savage vehicle, as well as another 50 percent for the MTL Brickade. The new mode will give players 25 percent off on several weapons, including the Bullet Ammo, the Throwables, and Explosives, Body Armor, as well as Drum & Box Magazines.

Players can start enjoying the new Deadline Adversary mode for "GTA Online" from now until Monday, Nov. 21.
