business battle gta online feature

You may have seen a Business Battle appear in GTA Online. Or at least the notification that one is taking place for the lobby to dive into. If not, they are free mode activities to join. Players fight in the free roam lobby in specific missions. The reward is Business Supplies that you can use as stock at your Nightclub Property business. Or, if you don’t have that, take it to a specific location for a profit. That being said, knowing how to join the Business Battle is the key to getting in on the profit and the action. More so when they can sometimes get boosted during the weekly update. Luckily, it’s not too complicated, and we have the details for you below.

How to Join A Business Battle in GTA Online

All players in lobbies with three or more players are automatically joined into a Business Battle. The only exception is if you are in Passive Mode. In which case, players need to come out of it to be able to participate. It’s the same for all freemode activities, as players can join just by being in the lobby. A message will pop up on your screen indicating that it is starting, similar to the one in the image below.

However, as previously stated, the end goal of the battles differs for players. If you own a business, you can take the supplies to it. In doing so, it boosts the stock of that business. However, if you don’t have it, you can take the stock to a specified location that pops up. The reward for this is both GTA$ and RP. Fortunately, it’s that simple. Players don’t need any other prerequisites to be able to try out the free mode activity if they wish.

How Often Can Business Battles Appear in GTA Online?

Business Battles happen randomly throughout your public freeroam sessions. However, they tend to occur 15 to 20 minutes after a previous free roam event. Therefore, making them quite frequent for players to experience. Because of this, it’s best not be in any business supplies mission. The reason is that you will not be included in this event and will have to miss it unless you get the stock in time. Or it is destroyed. If you can do SecuroServ, it may be best to do VIP Work to make some quick GTA$. While also passing the time until the next Business Battle event starts.

Overall, Business Battles are a good way for all players to boost their business stocks. While sometimes easier than the actual mission to do so. But, it’s important to note that all players available in the session get the notification that the event is occurring. Therefore, it’s best to be cautious if you want to partake. In fact, it may be good to take a good weaponized vehicle to the location. That way, you are ready for any type of resistance that you come across. Additionally, even bringing some friends may help to turn the tables in the session.
