Mansion Raid is the hottest new Adversary Mode in GTA Online, letting attackers infiltrate a luxurious Los Santos mansion near Richman Villa to plant bombs on security panels, breach the basement vault, grab the gold, and escape to an Insurgent vehicle. Defenders must stop them by protecting panels, defusing charges, and holding choke points.
Attackers share 10 lives with a 5-minute timer (extended 30 seconds per successful bomb), while defenders have unlimited respawns. It's intense close-quarters combat across three levels: main floor, residential quarters, and basement.
1. Queue Smart for Double Rewards and Bonuses
Head to the Online tab, select Jobs > Rockstar Created > Adversary Modes, and Mansion Raid will be pinned at the top during its event weeks. Jump in now for 2x GTA$ and RP payouts, plus a GTA$200,000 bonus for any win (credited within 72 hours). This makes it one of the best cash farms right now, especially with team coordination.
2. Treat It Like a Race Against the Clock, Not a Deathmatch
Prioritize planting bombs over racking up kills. Each level has two panels to blow up, and rushing them extends your timer by 30 seconds each. Attackers burn lives fast in hallways if you get bogged down fighting; use cover to cover, peek corners, and push objectives. Defenders, rotate quickly to defuse plants before they explode.
3. Commit These Bomb Panel Spots to Memory
Speed comes from knowing layouts cold. Main level: Panel A in the office, Panel B in the living room. Residential level: Panel A by the bedroom TV, Panel B in the guest bedroom. Destroy all four to unlock the basement vault. Planting takes about 30 seconds; input codes to speed it up. Sweep rooms methodically and communicate with your squad.
4. Time the Basement Door Unlock Perfectly
After the second level's panels go boom, a notification pops: basement access granted, timer boosted, lives refreshed. Do not crowd the security door immediately; it can crush players who bunch up. Wait a beat, then funnel in carefully. Defenders, hold the high ground here with the mode's provided heavy weapons and explosives.
5. Escape Via Flanks, Not the Front Door
Grab the gold duffel from the vault (marked by an icon), then bolt for the Insurgent outside. Skip the stairwell and elevator choke points where defenders camp; hit exterior routes like the podium parking area or side gate by the dog house. Coordinate covering fire and vehicle entry as a team. Attackers win on delivery, so hustle!
Master these, and you'll rack up wins, awards like Bomb Squad (10 plants/defuses), and fat stacks.
