Hotbomb is an Arena War Adversary Mode in GTA Online. It was released as part of the Arena War update.

In Hot Bomb, players will spawn in their vehicle of choice (including custom vehicles) and one player will spawn with a bomb on him. They now have to drive around the map trying to pass the bomb to other players by crashing into them before the timer runs out and they are eliminated. Other players need to avoid getting hit by the person with the bomb to survive.

Eliminated players are forced to spectate from the spectator box. Eliminated players can also use traps, turrets, RC Banditos, and Battle Drones to damage the remaining enemy contenders from the spectator box.

Every time the bomb is passed its total timer will decrease by 5 seconds until the timer reaches a limit of 30 seconds. If the player with the bomb is eliminated by things other than the bomb like weapons, crashing, traps, etc., The bomb will be passed to another player but the bomb timer will not decrease by 5 seconds.

In the end, the last man standing wins, or if teams is being played then the last team standing wins.
