These GTA Online Freemode Events won't punish you with a Bad Sport rating
Some of the new Freemode Events in GTA Online can still earn you Bad Sport and Mental State ratings. Some will cost you insurance money. Some don't. Here's the 411.
GTA Online's Freemode Events dropped this week, throwing live challenges and objectives into the open world crime sim.
With so many new additions - 13 events and 19 challenges in total - some of the standard rules and punishments dished out in freemode have been changed to suit the new gameplay.
Usually if you destroy someone's personal vehicle in freemode you'll be given a Bad Sport rating. If this climbs you get dropped into lobbies with other Bad Sports. Do it enough times and you'll eventually be forced to wear the Dunce Cap, a rare but very public shaming method.
Destroying personal vehicles also forces you to pay the insurance costs, as an added punishment.
On top of that, random killing in freemode ups your Mental State, turning you blip to red and eventually placing a bounty on your head for other players to hunt down and claim.
But with the Freemode Events some of these punishments need to be waived in order for them to actually work as a new game mode.
Below are the events where you won't be hit with Bad Sport or Mental State increases, or a bill from Mors Mutual Insurance:
