Since I had a question on Deathmatches I thought I would take this opportunity to make a topic for us all to post tips and tricks for successfull deathmatching
in GTA Online, this does NOT cover PVP killing in free roam or One on One deathmatches.
So my question first!
Today I played a DM for Kill Revealed Player which I completed within the first minute of the match.
However I was on the loosing side but just as the match I was ending I saw something I've never noticed before which got me curious.
My character was in cover and I had another player run up beside me, initially I thought it was a team mate as the game would not target the player but it turned out
to be the enemy and he got a cheap close up shotgun kill however he was not showing on the map?
It was the first time I have seen a running player not be revealed on the map and can't figure out why, the match was in the last 30 seconds which if I understand it
correctly means all players are or should be revealed on the map?
I know off the radar is disabled but do glitches from free roam carry over into a match as I am guessing said player must have been in some sort of Off The Radar glitch
to not show on the map?
Thoughts?
With thanks to pondnewt and darkgreenmeme's previous advice I now list what they have taught me as the opening tips.
It is essential that you make full use of the radar map on the bottom left corner of your screen in a DM. All players are hidden and if there stats are maximum a crouched/stealth
player will not be revealed on the map.
You are revealed if you idle for too long in the map and you can determine this if your triangle on the map has a red border to it which means your location is known to the
rest of the players.
Firing of weapons without silencers fitted also reveals your location on the map.
When it is a small group of players or rooftop tactics/hidden in wait tactics are being applied you can pickup a players location from the map if they are picking up ammo as
guns will disappear on your map which can sometimes lead to you getting their location.
All players are revealed in the final minute of the deathmatch.
Things to be aware of!! (IMPORTANT):
When weapons are set to Owned plus Pickup's players can buy replacement ammo from the Interaction Menu, this means there is a high probability of them spamming the match
with rockets or grenades constantly.
There is also an issue when set to Forced Weapons whereby if you are killed in the match your weapon ammo reduces and can end up with zero ammo
until you are able to pick up new ammo.
Also be aware that grenades and rockets have an explosive impact radius so although you many not be hit directly the expolsion can still kill you.
DO NOT hide behind explosive tanks as one player did in a match I was in recently and got killed by the explosion from the tank.
