Gang Shootout is a multiplayer game mode in which two teams of players attack each other in a specific map location. Every player starts with the same set of weapons, which varies by location. Each location has additional weapons available in chests scattered around the map as well as ammo and dead-eye refill boxes.

Teams are formed first based on posse affiliation, but posses will be split between teams as needed to balance the number of players on each team. The game begins, as always, with a Showdown. Competitors from each team face each other in a line. Any survivors of the Showdown will get a few seconds advantage to get to good positions/weapons, not to mention additional XP.

Additional players can join a Gang Shootout already in progress. The game will place a new player on the team with fewer members (due to initial imbalance or players leaving mid-game) in order to balance out the teams.

Scoring is based on the number of players killed with $50 awarded per kill. The team with the most money (kills) at the end of the match wins. If the teams are even at the end of the time limit, sudden death overtime will go into effect where the next kill determines the winning team.
