Hunting Pack Get Lamar is one of the most chaotic and entertaining Adversary Modes added to GTA Online. It puts a fresh spin on the classic Hunting Pack formula by throwing Lamar Davis into the mix as he tries to deliver a load of smoldering LD Organics product across Los Santos while rival gangs do everything they can to stop him. The mode blends high-speed escort action, team coordination, and a unique pass-out mechanic that keeps every round tense from start to finish.

Rockstar introduced the mode back in April 2025 during the Agents of Sabotage update. Since then it has become a regular in the Featured Series rotation, especially during themed events like the recent 420 celebration. A brand-new fourth map arrived in the free A Safehouse in the Hills update, giving players even more variety and fresh routes to master.

How to Start Hunting Pack Get Lamar

Getting into a match is straightforward and does not require any special setups or properties. Follow these steps:

  1. Pause the game and navigate to the Online tab.
  2. Select Jobs, then choose Play Job.
  3. Pick Rockstar Created, scroll down to Adversary Mode, and locate the Hunting Pack Get Lamar playlist.
  4. Select any of the available variations (I, II, III, or the new IV) and hit Join or Start to queue up.

You can also jump straight in through the Featured Series playlist when the mode is highlighted for bonus rewards. Matches support up to 16 players split between two teams, and lobbies fill quickly during event weeks.

How the Mode Works

Players divide into two teams with clear roles:

  • Defenders (Grove Street Families side): Your job is to protect Lamar and escort the smoking van to the drop-off point.
  • Attackers (Ballas and Vagos side): Your goal is to destroy or slow the van enough to make Lamar pass out.

One player on the defender team is randomly selected to play as Lamar himself. You drive a specially modified Vapid Youga Custom van that constantly billows thick smoke. A pass-out meter fills whenever your speed drops below the minimum threshold. Once the meter maxes out, Lamar blacks out and the round ends in defeat for the defenders. The meter only goes up; it never resets even if you speed up again later.

Attackers spawn with powerful weapons and vehicles suited for interception. They can ram the van, shoot out tires, or use explosives to force Lamar off course. Defenders get their own arsenal to push back and clear paths. The mode rewards smart positioning, teamwork, and constant movement.

All Maps and Routes

The mode currently features four distinct maps, each with unique starting points and destinations that change the flow of every match.

  • Hunting Pack Get Lamar I: Starts in Grove Street, Davis (attackers) and the BJ Smith Recreational Center in Chamberlain Hills (defenders). The route heads toward the Pacific Bluffs Country Club. Expect tight urban streets and plenty of ambush opportunities near the beach.
  • Hunting Pack Get Lamar II: Begins around the Rockford Hills sign and Record A Studios. Defenders push south to South Shambles Street in El Burro Heights. This map mixes upscale neighborhoods with industrial zones, creating long straightaways for speed runs and sharp turns for ambushes.
  • Hunting Pack Get Lamar III: Attackers spawn at Stoner Cement Works in the Grand Senora Desert while defenders start at La Fuente Blanca in Vinewood Hills. The finish line sits at the Puerto Del Sol Yacht Club in La Puerta. Desert-to-coast transitions make this one of the longest and most scenic routes.
  • Hunting Pack Get Lamar IV (New Map): Added in the A Safehouse in the Hills update, this fresh location brings brand-new terrain and sightlines. It fits the recent safehouse-themed content and offers updated choke points and elevation changes that change how both teams approach the escort.

Quick Tips for Success

  • As Lamar, never let off the gas. Even brief slowdowns add up fast on the pass-out meter.
  • Defenders should stay close to the van but spread out enough to cover multiple attack angles.
  • Attackers work best in coordinated waves: one group distracts while another lines up heavy hits.
  • Use the van's smoke cloud to your advantage for cover, but watch your own vision as the driver.
  • Communication makes or breaks every round. Call out incoming threats and planned routes early.

Hunting Pack Get Lamar delivers exactly what GTA Online does best: over-the-top teamwork, constant action, and plenty of laughs when things go sideways. Whether you are protecting Lamar through the hills or hunting him down with the rival crews, the mode never gets old, especially with the new map keeping things fresh.
