Crucially, a few of these changes are aimed squarely at minimizing the impact of griefers on other players, and they sound like genuinely meaningful improvements.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"hawk-nest\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\"\/>\n<p>When the update goes live, players will no longer have to shell out money when they destroy another player&#8217;s weaponized personal vehicle, which means you can finally defend yourself against griefers without penalty in those instances. <\/p>\n<p>Another big one is that your K\/D (kill\/death) ratio will no longer reflect kills made in Freemode &#8220;to reduce instances of griefing.&#8221;  Instead, that statistic will only change based on what happens during competitive gameplay.  That should go a long way to disincentivize griefers looking to improve their K\/D ratio in Freemode.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s not all &#8211; the update will also let you complete Sell Missions in private invite-only sessions, which again, means you won&#8217;t have to worry about griefers getting in the way anymore.  &#8220;You&#8217;ll be able to register as a VIP, CEO, or MC President in Invite Only, Crew, and Friend Sessions, allowing business owners to source and sell at their own pace or with their friends,&#8221; reads a bit from the patch notes<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Another change seemingly giving the middle finger to griefers is a big nerf on the obnoxious Pegassi Oppressor Mk II hoverbike.  Namely, the effectiveness of its homing missiles has been reduced, and its countermeasures will have increased cooldowns and fewer uses.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, for the griefers who prefer to do their terrorizing on the race track, the new GTA Online update has a couple of welcome surprises on that front as well.  The special vehicle race creator will have &#8220;Ghost to First Checkpoint&#8221; and &#8220;Anti Grief Ghosting&#8221; options to ghost players driving in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n<p>The full update makes changes from everything to vehicle customization to business protections and upgrades, but it&#8217;s good to see such a large chunk of it dedicated to combatting griefing. <\/p>\n<p>Now if only Rockstar would stop griefing its Red Dead Online players and introduce some dengue updates.<\/p>\n<p><em>here&#8217;s <\/em><em>everything we know about GTA 6<\/em><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new GTA Online update tackles the ever-present issue of griefing in a number of potentially impactful ways.
