VDM is a popular abbreviation on several GTA RP servers, which stands for Vehicle Death Match.
Most of the time, being accused of committing VDM isn’t a good thing. Of course, a casual player might not understand what a Vehicle Death Match is. Essentially, it’s a term used when a player kills another with a vehicle, usually without rhyme or reason within the context of roleplay.
It’s similar to RDM, which stands for Random Death Match, except RDM doesn’t necessarily involve vehicles. Players should know that abusing VDM is considered an offense worthy of a kick or ban on several GTA RP servers.
What does VDM mean in GTA RP?
VDM is an old term used in RPG games before GTA RP exploded in popularity. However, the term and its definition have remained largely the same over the years.
Here are some examples of VDM in GTA RP:
A player running over a cop and others while refusing to roleplay why they did it. Someone crashing their vehicle into other vehicles and driving off without explaining why they did it. A player ramming into another random player for no apparent reason.
Of course, there are cases where neither party may care about following the rules. In the three examples above, the third would be the least ban-worthy and not something to worry about long-term. However, the first example would likely result in a ban, given how blatant it is.

What are not examples of a Vehicle Death Match?
The existence of this term doesn’t mean players can’t kill each other with vehicles on a GTA RP server. For instance, a criminal fleeing after a successful heist doesn’t need to stop the car when running someone over. They have justified reason in this case.
The most important thing for roleplayers to consider about what counts as VDM and what doesn’t is how it affects that specific situation. If it happened accidentally and wasn’t intentional, one can go with the flow and create additional roleplay elements as they progress.

If someone is looking up VDM, they likely also want to know other valuable abbreviations and terms. Here’s a short list of some prominent ones:
- FailRP: Occurs when a person stops roleplaying (or chooses not to roleplay).
- Metagaming: Using real-life knowledge that the player’s character shouldn’t know. NLR (New Life Rule): Characters that have “died” must forget all events before their death, including those who killed them.
- NVL (No Value of Life): A character disregarding their life or the lives of others unrealistically.
- OOC (Out of Character): A player’s character acting differently than expected. OOC can be used in both good and bad situations.
- Powergaming: Attempting to purposefully give a player’s character more advantages over other characters.
- RDM (Random Death Match): The act of killing another person (or attempting to) without reason.
Unsurprisingly, all these terms have to do with how a character roleplays.
