Rockstar has just announced a new Adversary mode titled 'Deadline' in GTA Online wherein opposing teams can battle to the death in a spectacular retro-style videogame mode. In this new challenging mode, players leave behind a trail of beaming light when they attain hyper speed on their new Shotaro bike, which burns rivals as they fall in its beam's direct line of contact.

Up to four players can go up against each other in the new Deadline mode wherein each player will get to ride on a different coloured Shotaro bike. You need to be quick enough to overtake your opponent as the one behind your blazing trail will catch fire and explode in thin air as he/she comes in contact with the trail of beaming light.
