The GTA Online holiday event took place over the weekend. Rockstar Games announced on its blog that the world of GTA Online was going to be snowy to celebrate the holidays.
The snow fell in Los Santos and Blaine Country until December 26. With the return of snow, snowball fights also made a comeback. To collect up to 9 snowballs, players needed to press left on the D-pad.
The update that brought the holiday event also introduced a new adversary mode. The Juggernaut adversary mode is described as an all-out brawl for dominance.
In the Juggernaut mode, two players become the titular juggernaut. One member of each opposing team has to suit up with heavy armor and a heavy weapon, the chaingun.
Rockstar describes Juggernaut mode as a war between two teams where the juggernaut is a team's greatest asset and, at the same time, its greatest liability. The rest of the players on each team will attack, flank, swarm, and attempt to eliminate the opposing team's heavily-reinforced juggernaut while simultaneously protecting their team's juggernaut in order to win.
The juggernaut is a team's greatest asset because it is their strongest weapon. It is a team's greatest liability because the team loses when the juggernaut is killed.
The goal of the Juggernaut mode in simple terms is to kill the other team's juggernaut. According to entertainment website CinemaBlend, to win a match, a team's juggernaut must survive while the opponent's juggernaut is eliminated.
If no juggernaut dies, the match enters into Sudden Death where everyone becomes a juggernaut. The winner is the first team to register a kill in Sudden Death.
To ensure that the Juggernaut mode is always full for matching making purposes, Rockstar needs to gather enough players to be playing the mode. To ensure players will not have a hard time finding a match in Juggernaut mode, Rockstar needs to make sure that the mode is always full of players. To encourage players to keep playing Juggernaut mode so that it is always full, Rockstar is offering players who play the mode, double GTA$ and double RP until January 1.
Aside from the new adversary mode, the new update adds a new vehicle, a custom Pfister Comet. The customized Pfister Comet is transformed into a gritty urban dragster suitable for the rough-riding drifters of Los Santos. Gaming website GameSpot reports that the car can be found in Benny's Original Motor Works.
For the GTA Online holiday weekend event, Rockstar also offered holiday gifts to players who logged in during the weekend, especially Christmas day. Different items were given away as holiday treats for anyone who played GTA online during the weekend event.
