Carnage

"There's no need to overcomplicate things: Americans have always known how to have good, old fashioned, rats-in-a-sack, murder-orgy fun. All we need to do is provide a fresh and unpredictable set of tools, roll the cameras, and get the hell out of the way. No mercy, no disqualification, no safe word."

- Description.

Carnage is an Arena War Adversary Mode in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Arena War update.

Description
In Carnage, players compete to remain the last man (or team) standing. Upon loading, the host of Carnage has the option between making the mode a "Last Team Standing" or "Last Man Standing" game-mode. In Last Team Standing, players are split into two teams and one team most eliminate the other. Depending on whether or not the host of the match enables "Team Balancing", players can switch between teams before the game starts. With Team Balancing enabled, the number of total players joined is divided into two, and the option to "Join Team" before loading is disabled.

Players may chose between any of the Arena Ready or Arena Contender vehicles before loading, and, if enabled by the host, select a "Custom" vehicle. This mode is not restricted to any particular Arena War vehicle. With Custom Vehicles enabled, the player is also able to upgrade their vehicle before the match starts.

When the match begins, teams are positioned at opposing ends of the arena and must use their vehicle to destroy the competition. Drive-by weapons are disabled, however vehicles with mounted weapons (via customization) may be used, and are enabled 10 seconds after the game starts. Players are given a health bar which is displayed above their vehicle, indicating how much health their vehicle has before it is destroyed and they are knocked out of the match. Players are not able to respawn during the match. If the player is killed, they will be knocked out of the match and forced to spectate from the spectator box. Spectator weapons are not available during this match.
