Criminal Damage

Criminal Damage is a Freemode Event featured in Grand Theft Auto Online, added as part of the Freemode Events Update.

Description
Like other Freemode Events in GTA Online, the players in the current session will be notified that Criminal Damage will begin soon. A 2 minute countdown period will begin.

Once begun, the objective is fairly simple: cause the most damage, by racking up the destruction costs. The top 3 players who've caused the most costly damage will be listed in the Gold, Silver, Bronze table located at the bottom right of the HUD.

The players have 5 minutes to cause destruction. During Criminal Damage, police will not respond to any crimes committed.

Tips

 * Fairly obviously, the player is either going to need a high-powered/highly damaging weapon or vehicle. In terms of availability, beginner players should stick to Grenades and Sticky Bombs, unless they have any armed vehicles. Higher level players should choose something with an explosive cannon for the most effective use. A Hydra, Savage and Rhino are good picks, for their infinite ammo, fast reload times, and their functionality.
 * Causing a pile-up of cars is the best way to cause more damage. This way, the player has the chance of taking the lead quicker than if they destroy cars individually; one after the other.
 * Be ready - chances are, players will immediately start taking the lead, and once players begin the to take the lead, it can be tricky to catch up and take their position. Remember to be ready, in a safe, suitable (somewhere with a lot of traffic) spot, and be equipped with the chosen weapon/vehicle.
