Freemode Events

Players engage in a competition to collect checkpoints scattered across a quarter of the San Andreas map. This challenge, taking place both on land and at sea, tests players' ability to navigate through 120 checkpoints that pop up on their radar. The event sets a straightforward goal: to gather the highest number of checkpoints within a 10-minute window. Each checkpoint acquired nets the player a cash reward, ranging from $750 to $1,500, echoing the mechanics of the Air Checkpoints but with the action strictly confined to ground or maritime paths.

Players cause as much financial damage as possible within 5 minutes. The event disables police response, allowing for unimpeded destruction. The winners are determined by the highest cost of damage incurred, with the top three players displayed on a leaderboard.

In this event, players fight for control over a designated vehicle marked on the map with a purple icon. These vehicles, chosen for their modesty, range from a Caddy to a Sanchez, and are made nearly indestructible for the event. The objective is to take possession of the vehicle and maintain control over it for 10 minutes. Players can work together, with one driving and the other defending, or compete solo to keep the entire reward for themselves. Despite the vehicle's enhanced durability, it can still be destroyed, leading to mission failure.

The event also features a "Sudden Death" phase if the vehicle is unclaimed at the end of the main timer. This phase lasts for 1 minute, during which players must rush to claim the vehicle to win instantly. The winner receives a $20,000 reward.

This event challenges players to possess a briefcase for the longest within a 10-minute frame for GTA$ and RP rewards. The event emphasizes evasion and pursuit across various modes of transportation, including land vehicles, boats, and aircraft.

The event prioritizes visibility and strategy, disallowing certain hiding tactics while making the briefcase's location always visible to all players.

This event enables the player to become a significantly enhanced version of themselves, known as the Beast, who must elude other players across Los Santos and Blaine County.

Once transformed, the Beast is tasked with visiting 10 random landmarks within 30 minutes while remaining undetected and alive. Other players are charged with finding and eliminating the Beast in the same timeframe. The Beast is temporarily revealed on the radar when visiting a landmark or if inactive from landmark visits for over 3 minutes.

Players combat Merryweather Security using military vehicles to earn GTA$ and RP. Available vehicles include the Hydra, Buzzard Attack Chopper, Valkyrie (requires 2+ players), Savage, and Rhino Tank. The event triggers when players enter these vehicles and face off against Merryweather in both air and land vehicles, ending once all targets are eliminated or the player's vehicle self-destructs.

Players contest to control a designated area, dubbed the "castle," to accumulate points and earn rewards. Upon the event's initiation, a location is randomly selected and marked with a purple "Castle" icon on the map, where players converge to establish dominance. The goal is to remain in or very close to the castle to gain points, over 1 point per second, for ten minutes. The player with the highest points from occupying the castle becomes the king and must defend their position against other players attempting to dethrone them.

Participants who succeed in overtaking the castle begin accumulating points, while the dethroned king respawns nearby, maintaining the cycle of contest and defense. The event emphasizes individual skill in controlling and defending the territory, with the top three performers awarded in a gold, silver, and bronze system. Rewards include $13,650 for the winner and a sliding scale of at least $1,650 for participation.
