Target Assault Races Zoom Into Game + the Vapid Caracara

The latest Grand Theft Auto Online update has been deployed, this time centered around the new game mode called Target Assault Races. In it, players team up in the new mode "pitting speed vs precision in a fight for first place". Teams of two take the wheel of any one of a number of vehicles with one driving, the other controlling the mounted gun. Every lap, drivers and gunners swap places to keep going in the race to earn as many points as possible.

Players can also earn bonus points by finishing each lap in the top three and / or beating opponents through Checkpoints. Targets come in a variety of sizes with the smaller ones being worth the most points with additional points earned for hitting the bullseye.

As the Driver, play to your teammate's strengths — if your Gunner's on a streak, ease up on the throttle and let them rip through a few more targets before rushing to the next Checkpoint.

Target Assault Races are available to play today in GTA Online, with seven unique tracks featuring an assortment of assault-minded vehicles, including the new Vapid Caracara. Jump into the Target Assault Series blip on the map and earn Double GTA$ and RP
