If you are tired of grinding the same mission over and over in GTA Online, it is probably time to try out some side activities available in game. GTA Online is a big game, and the number of activity you can do is actually pretty diverse. In this article, we are going to list out the best GTA Online side activities to play in 2022.

1. Sports minigames

Sports are multiplayer activities available in GTA Online. Players can compete as a group in a number of athletic events and skill contests. The sports missions are instanced, preventing outside interference.

There are 7 types of sports you can try out in Online, including Golf, Tennis, Base Jumping, Arm Wrestling, Darts, Shooting Range, and Hunting. Players will earn RP and money playing sports. Furthermore, they can also increase various stats.

2. Custom Races

This is one of the mods that was added to the game as an official feature. Players can either create and play their own races or download the various map on the social club to try out. Rockstar's Stunt Race Creator allows anyone to build and share their own custom stunt courses with other GTA players. There are options for Standard, GTA, Rally and Non-Contact Stunt Races.

Through the Content Creator, players can create their own custom lap or point to point courses, setting the checkpoints and race details. Players can also add props such as barriers, ramps, and explosive objects. Power-ups and weapon spawns can be placed for GTA races.

3. Rally Races

Rally race is one of the more interesting modes in GTA Online, where 2 players need to cooperate to navigate their route, as the driver cannot see the checkpoints. The navigating co-driver has to provide directions to his teammate in the form of arrows displayed on the driver's screen, telling him when to turn, or by voice commands.

Overall, rally race is the best if you have a group of friends to play with, as racing without direction can be hilarious. Communication is the key to winning.

4. Adversary modes

Adversary Modes are different player vs player modes assigned by Martin Madrazo, where several players go up against another group of players in different ways. They are started in the Online Job's Menu, where the player can use the corresponding filter to display all the modes, each one having a specific map based on the number (which ranges from three to seven maps per mode).

The variety of this feature is great as there are a few dozens of games for players to try out.
