Fans are well aware of the magnitude and scale of "Grand Theft Auto's" success and influence in the gaming industry. As such, "GTA 5" has yet again made its mark by releasing the latest update for its GTA online with the new "Deadline mode."

"GTA 5" is the latest installment to Rockstar Games' iconic franchise. The game boasts itself with its open world action-adventure gameplay features. On top of that, there is also an online multiplayer feature to the game, which pits other players amongst each other in a virtual playground world.

As such, Rockstar Games has released tons of downloadable contents (DLC) for its GTA online Adversary mode. On such update listed on its official website is the recently released "Deadline mode," which features the Shotaro Bike.

The site describes the game mode as pitting four players against one another while riding the said Shotaro Bikes, which emits a temporary light trail. These light trails will cause players who come across it to explode instantly. As such, it is advised that players make calculated moves in order for their competitors to come in contact with their light trails.
