More verified
jobs from Rockstar Games with more of an old and throwback theme, these jobs
are a tribute to one of my favorite games of last generation and that game is
Red Dead Redemption. The game that successfully transferred the western from
the silver screen to video games. The jobs are themed around the areas in Red
Dead and game modes from the multiplayer. Here are the list of jobs:
As long as you’re willing to
overlook the occasional shipping container (think of them as abandoned railway
cars), you could easily slip back in time and be convinced you've been
transported to the Old West in this Deathmatch set around the dusty confines of
the Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness. There's a back-to-basics feel to the
restrained placement of Pistols, Sawn-Offs and Molotovs here and the varied
elevation of the setting, paired with the generous cover, make for a
well-balanced and tactical Deathmatch. Plus the opening standoff, with each
team starting out facing each other, nicely approximates Red Dead's
last-man-standing style Duels.
With the haze of New Austin
far off in the distance, this rural retreat that’s reminiscent of Beecher's Hope is a great
setting for a well-pitched Deathmatch. Pistols are the order of the day but, if
you look hard enough, you may very well find a Sawn-Off or a Grenade to mix
things up. Unless the Wright Brothers took an undocumented trip cross country,
we're not sure if the Duster is completely on-theme... but we'll let that
slide.
"Do you
long for the days when Deadeye was king and the only thing between you and
death was the speed of your draw with a Double-Action Revolver?"
reads the description for this GTA Online take on Red Dead multiplayer mode
"Hold Your Own", which has racked up over 600 plays at the time
of this writing. JaseTheChase has used shipping containers and other Props to
create a faithful replica of Tesoru Azul, one of the hideout locations in Nuevo
Paraiso. The aim here is simple: grab the opposing team's bag and take it back
to your base. Weapons are locked to Pistols but you can also find some Molotovs
scattered around for fiery fun.
These steeds might not eat
straw but this Sanchez Point-to-Point Race across the Grand Senora
Desert, compliments of a
long time member of the GTAGaming
gang (and a Commissioner in the GTAGaming
Crew), takes us back to playing Red Dead's Grand Prix. It's all here -
weaving through cacti, cutting through brush and speeding along the rail track
- albeit with a different kind of horsepower involved.
This Team Deathmatch takes
place at the old sawmill and surrounding valleys located at the foot of Mount Chiliad
and Mount Gordo. It features a good range of cover
and elevation for a back-to-basics, Pistols-only shootout. Just beware of
taking cover close to the gas tank at the back of the house. There's something
a bit more combustible than manure inside...
Another Deathmatch commencing
with a close proximity Red Dead-style duel, but this time starting ammo is
restricted so you really need to make every shot in the chamber count. From
there it all goes down in an enclosed space surrounded by train carriages and
removed from the modern trappings of civilization. Rocks are your cover and
bushes your hiding spots, with a raised area in the center providing some great
coming together moments.
The mountainous and wooded
Tall Trees area of West Elizabeth is a popular hunting ground in Red Dead and
this GTA Online Job, set in Raton
Canyon, substitutes
Pistols and Shotgun skirmishes for skinning bearhides. Expect many tense
shootouts as players make the most of the ample cover provided by the forest.
Grab the Bag is one of Red
Dead's best-loved multiplayer modes and this GTA Online version by BigSo786 is
a fitting tribute. The central bags, protected at the beginning by potent
Actors, and the small playing area make for an intense start as all four teams
converge. Once things spread out, varied elevation and a good spread of weapon
pickups offer scope to mix up your tactical approach.
These jobs are available now so head to Los Santos and
prepare to duel with you friends.
