GTA Online is one of the best-selling GTA games of all time, mainly due to the freedom it provides to the players playing the game in a shared lobby.

This freedom allows players to do virtually anything in Freemode, a sandbox for GTA Online. However, it can quickly turn hostile for no reason, as players often go around throwing punches at others in the lobby, and there is not much anybody can do about it.

Additionally, there is a glitch in the game that allows players to throw punches at a constant rate. These fights are most commonly known as glitch fights. This article will cover everything players should know about glitch fights in the game.
