When the new update goes live Monday, May 31, you’ll find a few new tab on the Gang UI for Gang Wars.
We’ve completely revamped the Gang Wars system to now feature 5 vs. 5 battles set up by gang leaders. The gang leader selects his five-player team, then sets up Gang Wars through direct challenges or open offers.
In a direct challenge, a gang leader can select a rival gang from the eligible gangs list to challenge. The rival gang leader can accept the challenge, and then the two work to select the game mode and map. If the gang leaders can’t agree, the mode and map will be randomly selected from the options they selected. In the same window, each gang leader places a wager from their gang bank on the match. The winning team gets the wagers deposited in their gang bank at the end of the match.
Open offers are listed on the Gang Wars Manager. A gang leader can inspect the available open offers, choose his team of five gang members and accept an offer or set up an offer of his own. To set up an offer, a gang leader selects the game mode, map, required amount of money to bid and the number of times the offer will be relisted after a battle ends. Open offers start automatically once a rival gang accepts and the offer re-posts upon completion until the relist parameter is reached.
In addition to the new features we’ve gone over this week, there are also a number of bug fixes and feature updates that will be detailed in the patch notes going up on Monday. The patch process will begin at 8 a.m. server time, 4 a.m. EST, 1 a.m. PST and it is expected to take 2 to 3 hours.
