How to play Double Down

Rockstar Games describes this Adversary Mode with the following words:

"Franklin and Lamar must work together and hold their ground with an armory of powerful weapons at their disposal."

Double Down pits two opposing teams against each other. Franklin and Lamar are classified as Defenders, while the rest of the players are Attackers. The former must survive a siege against the latter.

The winning conditions for the Double Down can be seen below:

• The defending team wins if they can outlast the time limit
• The defending team loses if all they get taken out

Unlike Franklin and Lamar, the attackers have an unlimited amount of lives in this Adversary Mode. This puts Franklin and Lamar at a severe disadvantage, since they have to last four minutes in each round.

Defending players will be given a wide range of weapons. On the opposing side, the attacking players will be given Double Barrel Shotguns.

This isn't the first time Franklin and Lamar are playable in GTA Online

The Contract DLC has definitely put the spotlight on Franklin and Lamar. Not only are they playable in Double Down, they were also playable in the Short Trip missions. However, Double Down is accessible to all players, whereas Short Trip missions require players to run an Agency.

Either way, players should try to get their $200,000 just by playing this week.
