Vendetta

5 min manhunt

Someone gunned you down for no reason? Swear revenge. For 5 min, you know roughly where they're hiding, and they know you're coming.

Swearing revenge#

  1. You get gunned downBy a player, with no good reason (see below).
  2. You swearThe death screen offers it with the killer's name: you have 90 s to press H. It's free.
  3. You hunt themFor 5 min, their rough area is on your map, updated as they move. They get warned and see the timer.
  4. You drop them in time$3,000 in cash, and it counts toward the "Vendettas" leaderboard.

If they last until the end, they're the one collecting $1,000. And when you take them down, you're the one acting in self-defense: no murder bounty on your head, as long as it happens within 10 min of your death.

The H key can be changed in FiveM's key bindings.

No vendetta when...#

  • A teammate killed you.
  • You'd killed them yourself less than 10 min earlier: they were getting even.
  • You had a bounty on your head: they were hunting.
  • During the Bounty Hunt and Settling Scores events: killing is the game.
  • One of you is already caught up in a vendetta, or you two had one less than 30 min ago.
  • They're already in prison when you swear.

During the manhunt#

What happensWhat it means
You drop them$3,000 for you
The timer hits zero$1,000 for them
Another player kills them firstThe vendetta's off, nobody gets paid
They die without a player involved (fall, cops)Nothing changes, the clock keeps running
They take you downThe hunt goes on: get back up and go find them
They end up in prison or vanish somewhere safeThe clock stops, they don't earn any time
They log offYou get your reward anyway

The target can't take shelter in a property while the vendetta lasts. And at the fight club, a running vendetta strips the bar's protection: neither the avenger nor the target is safe in there.

What the cops won't tell you#

Classified

The circle on your map has a from where they really are. It moves every .

Hiding more than in total counts as running away: the avenger gets paid. In prison, the vendetta just drops, no reward.

Two buddies killing each other for the cash won't get far: the same pair only collects .

The vendetta timer also shows on your phone's home screen, whether you're hunting or being hunted.
