[Grand Theft Auto V / GTA 5] Tips and Tricks: Contend Mode

This article contains tips and tricks in winning in Contend Mode. This game mode is available in Grand Theft Auto V [GTA 5].

Tips and Tricks: Contend Mode

Contend Mode is a game mode in Grand Theft Auto V [GTA 5] where players must fight NPCs to gain packages. Players can also prevent other players from gathering packages when trying to obtain their own. The more packages a team gains, the better. Contend Mode allows a maximum of 16 players to enter the arena in which the teams split around equally. When players enter the arena, they have a wide access to weaponry and vehicles to either transport the cargo faster. Or, players can also use vehicles to run down the person.

Before entering Contend Mode, here are some tips and tricks.

Assign Runners

Runners are the players who will not focus on attacking. Bur rather, they are the characters who will grab the cargo and bring it back to their base. These are often players who can spot things far away. Or, this is better meant for players who are terrible at aiming. If the team also has players who are familiar with the environment, they can also function as Runners as they know the alleys. Or, they can also play as Snipers or Assaulters to deal with the NPCs.

Have a vehicle on hand

Unlike most game modes, the Contend Mode allows players to use vehicles. Having a vehicle not only gives temporary armor for the player but also increases mobility. And in a game such as Contend Mode, mobility is key to obtaining as much cargo as possible. However, recommended vehicles are often the smaller ones. Using a bus allows players to easily snipe the driver or to easily disable the car due to its large size.

Have Map Awareness

Map Awareness is one of the basic skills a player needs especially in the arena. Especially in Contend Mode, players need to be aware where the next cargo will spawn. The map is not just an open land but has a variety of obstacles. Knowing the environment and the map allows players to plan more tactical strategies in order to grab the cargo before the other team.

List of Maps in Contend Mode

There are a variety of maps in this particular mode. Some of these maps may have more obstacles than others, giving players unique experiences in Contend Mode.
