An arcade machine called CAMHEDZ was added to GTA Online as part of the Los Santos Tuners update. You can purchase this arcade machine and place it in your arcade using the laptop in your arcade office. CAMHEDZ is an altered version of the Badlands Revenge II arcade mini-game, which is also available for you to purchase.
The CAMHEDZ arcade machine pays homage to the game series ‘Manhunt’, which was also developed by Rockstar Games. CAMHEDZ is named after a gang that didn’t make it into the final version of Manhunt.
CAMHEDZ includes several references to the familiar characters from the Manhunt game, such as the white rabbit, the monkeys, the piggsy (reimagined as bearsy in CAMHEDZ), etc.
There are five challenges you can complete by playing CAMHEDZ, in order to earn some awards and associated rewards. There are five T-shirts and a trophy to be earned, if you complete all five challenges.
The challenges are not that difficult and can be completed in a single run. There are five scenes in this arcade game, with each scene being one level. If you’d like, you can also refer to our video guide too.
Note that you must have bought an arcade, or else you can’t do these challenges and unlock the rewards. To buy an arcade in GTA Online, you must meet Lester Crest at Mirror Park. You can then purchase an arcade from the Maze Bank Foreclosures website.
Buying & Placing CAMHEDZ
Assuming you’ve already bought an arcade, head over to your arcade.
Go to the office and access the laptop to get to the arcade machine’s buying screen.
Scroll to the bottom of the page to find CAMHEDZ which costs $362,500. Purchase it.
After purchasing, leave your arcade and roam around until you get a message confirming the delivery of your CAMHEDZ arcade machine.
Head back to the arcade office, sit next to the laptop and manage your arcade machines. Navigate to a double slot to place the CAMHEDZ arcade machine.
Once done, go outside to interact with the machine and play the mini-game.
Challenges & Rewards
The following are the challenges and associated rewards.
Faces of Death
Straight To Video
- Challenge: Complete all levels using only the pistol in Camhedz.
For this one, do not shoot any ammo shells or nail guns. It will change your weapon preventing you from getting the award.
- Reward: Straight To Video Tee
Monkey See Monkey Do
- Challenge: Kill all costumed weirdos across all scenes in Camhedz.
Whenever you see a monkey or a character in a bunny costume, kill them to cross all the scenes (levels) to get this award.
- Reward: Monkey See Monkey Do Tee
Trained To Kill
The Director
Note that if you’re not able to find the t-shirts, you will need to navigate down to the ‘Special Tops’ first.
Then open ‘Arcade’ to find all your t-shirts.
Another important point to know is that you can shoot explosive items such as Molotov & Dynamites. Shooting them won’t void any of the awards.
Trophy
Upon completing all five challenges, you are also rewarded with a unique VHS Tape Trophy for your arcade office.
Simply visit your arcade office after completing the challenges, and you will find it on your desk.
