Extraction[1] is an Adversary Mode featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Executives and Other Criminals update, released on December 15, 2015.
Description
Teams of Bodyguards must search, locate and safely extract an Executive _target from their downed jet before a rival Hit Squad intercepts and eliminates the _target.Rockstar Newswire description
With three to twelve participants, the game mode involves 2 teams: the Bodyguards (1-5 players) and a Hit Squad (1-6 players). There is also a common _target (an executive, 1 player only).
The _target's plane was forced to make an emergency landing, so it is stranded inside an area called the extraction zone. The _target has to meet with the bodyguards and get to the evac point before the hit squad kills them; in each mission, a random evac point is chosen from the selection, which can be found in the table bellow.
Since the starting location of the Hit Squad is nearer to the extraction zone than the starting location of the Bodyguards, the Hit Squad can arrive at the location first, requiring the _target to go in hiding until the Bodyguards arrive. Initially, the locations of the _target, Bodyguards and Hit Squad are hidden from each other on the map. Once the _target and Bodyguards have first met up, all their locations will appear on the map.
_target
Extraction app
The _target must stay alive and reach the evac point before the time runs out. They are only equipped with a Pistol .50, and a flare gun which can be used to point out their location. There is also an Extraction app available from the phone, which can be used by both the Bodyguards and the _target to locate each other by using the given coordinates.
Bodyguards
The bodyguards must save the _target from the extraction zone by collecting and escorting him to the evac point, while defending them from the hit squad.
The bodyguards are equipped with:
- Rocket Launcher (x1)
- Sticky Bombs (x5)
- Micro SMG
- Carbine Rifle
Hit Squad
The hit squad has to find and take out the _target before the bodyguards find them. If the _target gets in the bodyguards' vehicle, the hit squad can still pursue the _target vehicle marked on the map before it reaches the evac point. The hit squad is equipped with:
The _target has a single life; all other players have three. Upon respawning, the player will have their ammo restocked to the starting amount and spawn on either a Sanchez (Hit Squad) or a Lectro (Bodyguards). If all team members are permanently removed (either by dying or being disqualified for staying out-of-bounds), the _target still has the opportunity to get to the extraction point. The match can only end by the _target dying, time running out, or the _target successfully reaching the extraction point.
Vehicles
Different vehicles are available to the players depending on the team chosen:
- Hit Squad: Technicals, multiple Sanchez, and a Valkyrie MOD.0.
- Bodyguards: Lectros, a Guardian, two Insurgent Pick-Ups and a Valkyrie MOD.0.
