GTA Online: How To Turn Off/On Passive Mode
If you don’t want to be the target of those players who only want to attack others, you can turn on Passive Mode. It will make you immune to any damage – melee, firearm or area damage weapons. At the same time, you will not be able to attack others as well. But if you do want to damage others, here’s how to turn off Passive Mode in GTA Online:
- Open up the Interaction Menu by holding the touchpad on PS4, view button on Xbox One and M on PC.
- Choose Passive Mode.
- Disable it (or enable it).
Those players who are in Passive Mode will be marked on the Radar with a stop symbol. It’s more like a ghost mode where you will be like a impenetrable ghost for other players while you have activated Passive Mode. For players on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC platforms, the Passive Mode works on foot as well as when you are in a vehicle. Note that there is a chance that players in Passive Mode can die due to something happening in the surrounding like an exploding car nearby or through some hacks and cheats. Plus, if you get into a weaponized vehicle, the Passive Mode will be disabled automatically after 30 seconds.
