14 DAY TRIAL // Rockstar has offered some specific pieces of advice for players of its GTA 5 Online mode who want to create new Capture missions via the in-game Creator tool, sharing pointers about each possible Capture encounter and how they require extra work.
The Grand Theft Auto 5 online multiplayer mode has drawn in millions of PS3 and Xbox 360 owners, delivering intense missions and all sorts of crazy quests for players to complete.
Rockstar Games also allowed fans themselves to create new jobs for the online multiplayer, thanks to a comprehensive Creator tool that, at first, allowed only for Races and Deathmatches to be made by players.
Thanks to a recent update, however, the tool now enables them to forge Capture jobs as well, which are much trickier than the other two mission types.
After sharing some general tips earlier today, Rockstar is back and has posted a series of specific details on its Newswire.
Capture jobs have different varieties, like Contend, GTA, Hold, or Raid, and each comes with certain challenges.
Contend jobs see four teams fight over common Capture Objects located in a central zone. In order to ensure a balanced experience, players need to make sure that the start points of each team, as well as the capture points, the respawn zones, and the actual objects are placed well within the map. If one team is at an advantage, then it won't draw in that many people.
GTA Capture jobs require teams to steal certain vehicles on the game's map and the key to delivering a fun experience is to make sure that the capture zones are big enough to accommodate the actual vehicles, from bikes to planes and other such things.
Hold jobs also task teams with holding their captured objects away from the enemy team. So that teams don't have certain advantages, players should try to place the respawn areas outside the actual capture points.
Last but not least, in the Raid Capture missions, players can only grab objects from the bases of the other teams.
"A key difference when creating Raid Capture Jobs is that all Capture Objects must be placed inside Capture Points. As so much of the action will take place around Capture Points, consider their locations carefully. Factor in such things as levels of cover, access points, elevation and terrain. You want it so that ransacking an opponent's Capture Point is a challenging achievement, but not so difficult that it feels impossible. And, in the interest of balance, make sure that all teams' Capture Points are equally equipped," the studio said.
The Capture jobs can be crafted by players using the in-game Creator tool in GTA 5.
