Defensive players will also take less damage from enemy players, and those who attack them will be penalized via the Hostility System.

They also can’t be melee-attacked or lassoed, and can’t be executed or even targeted with auto-aim. Players who choose this style are shown by a shield icon, and can’t be pulled into a PvP mission. For players who want to Free Roam in peace, the defensive style is “designed to let other players know that you don’t want to tangle with them, as well as minimize opportunities for griefing,” according to the post.

Just as they sound, offensive style means that players can engage in “hostile contact” with other players, and is set as the default mode. The update will allow players to choose their play experience in the multiplayer mode by choosing an offensive or defensive style. Rockstar detailed some of what’s to come in Tuesday’s update back in March, including the Hostility System to help with anti-griefing efforts. A new mode, Showdown, which tasks players with capturing the most land while not losing any of their claimed territory, is also coming to Tuesday’s update.
