MONDAY AT 8PM GMT - 4PM EDT - 1PM PDT
VQGTA

VANQUISH #3
A 2 or 3 Playlist Event showcasing the newest and most innovative Last Team Standings that the GCCC has to offer, with an optional Xtra playlist closing out the night.
The first playlist will feature crew submissions, whether yours or some you liked, while the second will be selected by the host(s). The Xtra playlist will be made up of selected content and submissions.
Each Playlist will consist of 4-5 jobs, and we'll aim for two Matches consisting of quick-fire rounds (Match length max 10-15 minutes), whilst the rest could have the possibility of becoming a little more drawn out (Match length max 20-25 minutes). Matches will be played first to 2 or 3, depending on recommendations, consensus and general exhaustion levels.
#VQ
HOW TO JOIN
Crew-only pre-lobby will open at 7:30PM with invites and reminders sent out periodically. A PS4 Portal Party will be hosted by me,

, add me on PSN.
Invites for the first playlist will go out at around 8PM BST, giving you five to ten minutes to join.

Rules and requirements
The usual rules for Crew lobbies will apply, so let's not be killing each other until the event gets underway (unless a Freemode Event demands it). Please ensure you are not wearing bulletproof or motorcycle helmets, as these both can confer an unfair advantage within jobs. Finally, please remove invisible or glitched clothing whilst participating.

Submissions should be made to the Vanquish topic in the PS4 Share tab, here on the event page or as a PM here or on

Social Club. Members can submit one of their own creations per week and any number of creations from other crew members.
The optimum size for submissions is for 30 people, but some smaller jobs may be considered for bonus rounds/ playlists, if circumstances and demands allow. I will endeavour to test all submissions before each event, so worth considering the minimum player requirement too, as jobs where minimum is too high (more than 4?), may be difficult to get enough players to join (the test).
Please include a brief description with any special settings you think should be applied and the number of players (min + max). Innovation, whether new ideas or new takes on old ideas, is strongly encouraged.

Yeah, thanks Shantu. I figured that work-around myself and you can sometimes get another job by clicking on it and then when it starts loading the new job, click comments and then click mission.

JGR13 Royal Rumble PS4 by Jager1381
A fun Panto Demo Derby with a large platform, so relatively easy to stay in the combat area, even when the rooftop that you start on catches fire. Weapons on the ground makes falling off more fun too.

Brotherhood Of Steel by DocMedPot
I'm not enamoured with battles involving Valkyries, because when flown well they overpower most ground based weapons and combined with the homing missiles of the Savage, they make short work of armoured vehicles. However, Doc has made an arena here where these vehicles have to expose themselves in order to target those opposition players canny enough to stay in cover. Would perhaps add in a homing launcher (now that you can) for the ground team, maybe somewhere exposed so they have to take a risk to get it.

FL22 GTA Battles by Freakyleek
A Stunters Vs type of LTS with the Stunters a bit more exposed when they collect cars and the snipers with grenades to blow up cars that get on to the platform. There seemed to be an extra platform with ramps up from the sniper platform, but whether this was for more sniper spawns or somewhere the stunters could snipe from was not clear.

Rocket Sniper by JamieJohnWard
Night-time RPG shootout with 1 tank per team, though these are largely useless and likely to be taken out quickly, particularly if the driver doesn't turn out the headlights. The key here is to keep moving, because the only way to target anyone is to aim where rockets originated from, by pure blind luck or by crossing the divide.

House Arrest by DavidJames2013
Sniper and pistol battle constructed at Sandy Shores airfield. Good to see extra weapons added to both teams following feedback from the #VQ_Tryout session. There seem to be places where snipers inside can shoot from seemingly without getting shot themselves - though I didn't find it, it is reportedly through the side of the feeders that are used to make windows, which it seems they can also R1 crouch or roll through to finish off the attackers - was this intended?

Halloween Havoc by Shantu_786
Shantu's dark and brooding Hallowe'en LTS returns (after he gave the attendees of Vanquish #2's Xtra playlist a sneak peek) with added shotguns for both teams. It's easy to get lost amongst the shadows and clouds of steam that rise eerily through the arena and there are plenty of nooks and crannies to hide in. No team had the tactical advantage and so it was down to skill and blind luck. I like the hard-to-reach RPG which draws people often to their death, as they get blasted after they collect it.

Codename: Desert War by The_Geo_Stigma
3 team tank battle in the Grand Senora Desert around Sandy Shores. Fast-paced explosive fun where teamwork and aptitude with a tank are key. It's easy to forget there is a third team when you are in the heat of battle, until you get shot up the arse as they come up behind you. Enjoyable and over really quickly, so three rounds isn't too many despite it being a three team battle.

Helicopter Vs RPG Chaos by JC2-Fan-Forever
An adaptation of Vanquish #2's Helicopter Vs RPG, this time at Fort Zancudo and with the addition of an extra platform above - whether the helicopters are meant to land there and then that team can run across a load of wrecked cars to get to some weapons or there were more spawn points for the RPG team was unclear(

) Neither team got that far though.

Rodo's Traffic Jam by Some12Hate
Chaotic fun LTS inspired by Vanquish #1's poll winner Traffic Vs IDIOTS. It is a much more elongated arena which incorporates more intersections, so more cars come crashing in but it doesn't seem as bad, until the train comes roaring through. It is ultimately a larger area and so the LTS does take longer than the 1m30 max per round that RODO's took meaning more money and fun.

LTS Under Construction by RODO77
A well-designed and laid out creation at the construction site. Multiple levels and prop bridges linking them, with a good distribution of weapons pick-ups, including some snipers in great vantage points, means you aren't caught short searching for ammo at the wrong moment.

Fort Zancudo by THE_RiSET
A good, fun LTS around the fences at the end of Zancudo's runway. Weapon placement is good and the provision of police armoured trucks, means you can try to flank, but the wanted levels on, even if they are limited to one star, means you have annoying squadies shooting at you the whole time.

D-Day by KrustyKrab
An LTS with a great concept, but which could do with some tweaking. Defenders/ Germans start at their fortifications on an isthmus near armed with machine guns, assault rifles, snipers, grenades, seaward facing tanks and machine gun emplacements (immovable Technicals). The attackers start inland with machine guns, cargobobs and speedboats and it is presumed have to fly to the islands of this promontory, but when you do there are no weapons, just barriers, a bridge to the mainland and a Barracks army truck. Apparently there are a pair of Dusters very high above the arena too. The best course of action is to attack from inland, but the attackers/ Allies seem very under-supplied.

Insurgent Survival by OzelotTV
A great arena and idea, only really marred by a couple of things. The RPG at Vespucci Pier makes the map appear much larger than it is, which leads players to panic and only want to play one round and this combined with the minimum eight players to start, just means it is unlikely to get many plays, which is a shame, because it is a good LTS. I think you could also create this arena as a (Team) GTA Race, with sticky/ proximity pick-ups (without having to exit the vehicle) and blow up last place, then the intention of the LTS would be achieved, in a format that is likely to attract more plays.

Union LTS by Dillono
Good well balanced LTS. Inevitably becomes Ground Assault with Sniper Support, but Sniper rifles are few and far between, but still an enjoyable two team LTS. Originally created for First Person Friday, here it was played with no fixed view. A good simple LTS. No gimmicks, just a good old shoot-out.

LTS Fun Zone by JamezNash
Another good old shoot-out this time atop one of the buildings around Legion Square. This is a close-quarters fight with assault rifles, MGs, Molotovs and AP Pistols. Several good pinch points and vantages and a treasure trove of better weapons, health and armour in a central dividing area that should be the key to victory, but sometimes isn't enough when faced with co-ordinated teamwork. Perhaps the ten minutes per round was excessive. Someone had won by seven minutes in each of the five rounds played, sometimes less than five minutes.

Kill Or Be Killed #VQ by ManOfFire
My own recent creation that I threw in, really just to test on a few more people. Designed as a four team LTS that can be over relatively quickly, so the multiple rounds doesn't become a chore. Two arenas contain two evenly matched teams who have to kill each other as quickly as possible, in order to get out to the superior weapons before the victors from the other arena get there and gain the upper hand. Seemed to work as intended, though we only played one round.
