To add further excitement to Rockstar Games' online mode for its highly popular "Grand Theft Auto 5" open world video game "Grand Theft Auto Online," the company has now released a brand new adversary mode challenge called "Deadline."

The brand new challenge takes its concept from the science fiction movie franchise "Tron," which now allows players of the game to whiz through town in their very own neon-colored light cycles.

Rockstar Games has added their own flavor into the death-match light cycle battles by providing different gameplay elements that are unique to the particular adversary mode. The brand new bikes, called the Nagasaki Shotaro, are futuristic bikes that can be purchased in a variety of neon color options. Players will be able to unlock the bikes by simply accessing the new adversary mode. Simply accessing the new mode will also award gamers with a free T-shirt that features the Nagasaki Logo.

The brand new adversary mode is playable with up to four players. All players will need to destroy all of their opponents using different moves and tactics with the goal of making them crash or hit a light trail, similar to the death matches that were featured in the "Tron" movies.

There are different sets of power-ups that can be captured within the game. These power-ups include the Boost power-up, which increases the player's speed to cut off opponents; the Zoned power-up, which slows down time in order to execute precision maneuvers; and finally Hop, which lets players jump over their enemies light trails in order to prevent a crash.

To entice players into participating, the game's developer has included a special bonus that grants players double GTA cash and RP while playing the new adversary mode, which will last until Monday, Nov. 21. Players can also take advantage of special discounts to Biker supplies weapons, vehicles, armor, and several other items during the promotion.
