GTA 5 Online’s New Adversary Mode: The Mansion Raid

GTA 5 Online’s Sunshine in the Hills update has been a big hit for letting players purchase and live in mansions, but now you’ll get to raid them! With the brand new Adversary Mode that’s been added this week, players will be joining Attacker and Defender teams to either raid a mansion’s precious vault, or defend it with their lives. Here’s everything on how to play the mode and what rewards it gives.

Table of Contents

💥 How to Start a Mansion Raid

To start a Mansion Raid, there are a few options. The first is by hosting the raid through the Jobs menu. You can host a Mansion Raid there, but you’ll need at least 4 players to join first. Only then can you start the game. Want to find more opportunities to earn GTA$? Find some gta 5 accounts here right now!

 

The second way to start a Mansion Raid is by joining an existing one. By going into your phone, you can select Adversary Modes through there. After that, you can just wait for the game to start while you do other things. Considering how new Mansion Raids are right now, the wait shouldn’t take too long.

💣 How to Play as the Attacker

Compared to the Defender team, your role as an Attacker is a lot more complicated. There’s several parts, but your first task will be planting bombs to infiltrate the lower levels of the mansion. These locations will be marked so you know where to go, and the placements stay relatively the same per match.

 

You have a limited time to actually plant the bombs, so you gotta be quick. The Defender team will be trying to prevent your bombs from being placed, which’ll cause you to lose if you run out of time. If someone else is placing a bomb, do your best to defend that player so they don’t get shot in the back by a Defender. When all the bombs are placed, you’ll move on to robbing the loot from the vaults on the first floor. 

 

This is where the game becomes a bit more intense, as you’ll need to rob the loot before the Defenders catch you. Your job is to carry and protect the stolen loot until a vehicle arrives to pick it up. If successful, the Attackers will gain the GTA$ bonus along with the doubled winning rewards of 200,000 GTA$.

👮 How to Play as the Defender

When playing as part of the Defender team, your goal is far more simple. You’re basically playing as the mansion’s security guard. You’ll be hunting down the Attacker team members and protecting the mansion vaults and its loot. Your first task though will be preventing the Attackers from planting their bombs to infiltrate the vaults at all. A timer will be set for the Attackers.

 

If your team fails and the Attacker bombs get planted and explode, then the raid will move to the second stage. Now, the Attacker team will be focused on robbing the vault loot from the mansion and delivering it to a vehicle on its way. Your job now is to prevent this from happening at all by taking the Attackers out. If you take them all out, the Defenders can easily take the win back. 

 

Once again, all the Attacker bomb placements remain relatively similar to each other per Mansion Raid match. If you familiarize yourself with the mansion floorplan, you can easily take the win per Mansion Raid. However, the same could be argued on the Attacker side too, so don’t get too cocky when playing. 

💰 The Mansion Raid Double Rewards

Since the Mansion Raid Adversary Mode is so new right now, Rockstar has added a special Double Reward bonus for all the players that try it out this week. When either team wins, they’ll get a 200,000 GTA$ payout. However, that doesn’t include the extra 55,000 GTA$ bonus you get when winning as an Attacker. That’s from the vault loot you steal from the mansion. Even if you lose, players will still be getting a 120,000 GTA$ reward too!

 

Other bonuses have also been added to the game besides the Mansion Raid. For example, all Nightclub owners will also have their passive income doubled. This is made better with Business Battles gaining 4 times the usual payouts than usual. Even if you don’t think the Mansion Raid is for you, there’s still something to take advantage of this week if you’re a Nightclub owner.

 

Tech Review – Otterbox Thin Flex case for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5

The Otterbox thin flex case is one of the latest on the market for Samsung’s latest devices the Galaxy Z Flip5, cases for flip phones tend to take a while to hit the shelves but over the next few weeks we will see them arrive but some companies have them ready out the gate on a device launch

The Thin Flex case comes in many colours so there is choice for the customer and that choice is only up to you on which colour you go for. The case is presented as expected from Otterbox and just comes in simple packaging and you get some information inside the box and two parts for the case being a flip phone.

The case itself for me is on the thicker side making the device a tad bulky on the front however this protects that all important cover display on the phone giving you piece of mind in that area all ports are well covered too and deep, you get a clear view on the rear of the cover of your phone and the keys work well. I did find the fingerprint sensor a tad awkward to use though with the thickness of the case opened and closed but again this could be just me and my big fingers.

Overall your device will be protected from harm here with the case but the only exposed part is the folding mechanism itself and I yet have to see any cases that cover this bar one I seen on an ad on Facebook so I might get that in soon.

Check out the video below for more.

Features

  • Hard case with soft grip edges
  • Ultra-slim case designed for foldable phones
  • DROP+ | drop tested to meet military standard (MIL-STD-810G 516.6)

  • Lasting antimicrobial properties to protect the case*
    * Helps protect the case exterior against many common bacteria. It does not protect you or the screen.
