Street Crimes: Gang Wars Edition is a multiplayer arcade minigame developed by Degenatron. It is available for 2-4 players in the Master Penthouse and the Arcade in Grand Theft Auto Online.
Description[]
The game is a top-down shooter, similar to Grand Theft Auto and Grand Theft Auto 2. The goal is to claim the most territory in the city as representatives from one of four groups: The Hoods, The Punks, The Yokels, and The Bikers. Each different colored machine controls a different character, who are Marcus, Jaxx, Buck, and Dustin.
The game starts with a player in each corner of the city, and when the round starts, each player must surround as many city blocks as possible with their colored line, claiming that block as part of their territory. At random intersections, there are items like health, guns, and speed boosts to help the player succeed. Whoever has the most claimed territories at the end of the round wins that round.
Challenges[]
There are five challenges available in this arcade game. Special T-shirts will be awarded to the player if they manage to complete each one of them. Completing all challenges will also award a trophy in the Arcade Trophy Case.
- Untouchable
This challenge requires the player to win a round without dying. Completing the challenges awards the player with the Street Crimes Action Tee.
- The Hoods, The Punks, The Yokels & The Bikers
These challenges require the player to win 20 games as each of the four gangs.
Completing the challenges awards the player with the Street Crimes Hoods Tee, Street Crimes Punks Tee, Street Crimes Yokels Tee and Street Crimes Bikers Tee, respectively.
Completing all five challenges awards the player with a spray can shaped trophy in the Arcade Trophy Case. A copy of this trophy will also be available in the player's Penthouse to be used as decoration.
