'Grand Theft Auto Online' (ALL) Adds New Vehicles, Alien Survival Series, Bonuses, Mysterious Peyote, Unlocks And More

Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.

Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover.

The new generation upgrades also extend to Grand Theft Auto Online, an ever-evolving Grand Theft Auto universe. Rise through the criminal ranks by banding together to complete Jobs for cash, purchase properties, vehicles and character upgrades, compete in traditional competitive modes, or create your own content to play and share with the Grand Theft Auto community.

All new content and gameplay created since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online, including an extensive array of new Jobs, an arsenal of new weapons, scores of new vehicles, new properties and player customization will also be available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC with much more to come. In addition, the current community of players will have the ability to transfer their Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression to their choice of PS4, Xbox One or PC.

Halloween kicks off in GTA Online today with Alien Survivals, a new series where players take up arms as extraterrestrials against Marines, NOOSE teams, and FIB agents across seven maps. Double Reward payouts are available for Alien Survivals and several other suspenseful modes, including Slasher, Slashers, Lost vs. Damned, Condemned, Come Out to Play and Beast vs. Slasher. 

In addition to the debut of latest Vehicle, the supercharged Western Rampant Rocket, Halloween decorations adorn the streets of Los Santos and the Diamond Casino this week, along with mysterious Peyote seen growing around Mt. Chiliad. Plus, players that log in by November 6 will receive the Degenatron-themed Choose Your Side tee and Invade and Persuade Hero tee for free.

Please read on for more details, including the Lucky Wheel’s spooky new top prize: The LCC Sanctus, 35% off the returning Lurcher Hearse, Fränken Stange and all Halloween masks, vehicle discounts, ongoing Twitch Prime benefits including 10% off this week’s discounted vehicles and Halloween masks, and more.

Western Rampant Rocket

If you’re looking for the ultimate plaything, feel free to stop. Because it just found you. The Rampant Rocket is supercharged fantasy on three wheels, but don’t worry: no one is going to question your maturity when the complicated parts are on the outside.

Project 4808: New Alien Survival Series

Details of the long-rumored secret government program known as Project 4808 are scarce; besides conspiracy theorists in tin-foil hats hawking their pulpy paperbacks and the occasional yokel raving about strange silhouettes probing their orifices, the FIB has redacted much of what we know about the Project. But no longer: the truth is out there.

The new Alien Survival Series lets you play as an extraterrestrial, fighting off wave after wave of heavily armed NOOSE teams, FIB agents and the Marines across seven maps. All Alien Survivals dole out Double Rewards this week -- all the more reason to jump in.

Halloween Bonuses & Benefits

It's Halloween, so the streets of Los Santos and backwoods of Blaine County are even more gruesome than usual. On top of seasonal decorations and exclusive Casino Store items at The Diamond, there have been sightings of Peyote growing wild in the arid soils surrounding Mt. Chiliad. Authorities advise against eating the cacti.  

How To Unlock Two Degenatron Tees

Degenatron enthusiasts will be happy to hear that they can collect both the Choose Your Side Tee and Invade and Persuade Hero Tee simply by playing GTA Online anytime between October 31 and November 6. You'll be the toast of the convention circuit with these.

And celebrate with Double Rewards all this week on some of the grisliest game modes as Slasher, Slashers, Lost vs. Damned, Condemned, Come Out to Play and Beast vs. Slasher are all paying out Double GTA$ and RP from October 31 through November 6. Plus specters of Halloween's past are returning, including the Lurcher Hearse and Fränken Stange, along with Halloween Masks - all at a 35% discount.

New Podium Vehicle & Casino Store Exclusives

Even The Diamond Casino & Resort is getting in on the Halloween celebration. The Casino walls are getting a temporary makeover and this week's Lucky Wheel top prize is the LCC Sanctus - a Goth chopper fitted with glowing red headlights that accelerates like a bat out of hell. Stop by the lobby for your daily opportunity to win this showcase vehicle or other prizes, including GTA$, RP, clothing and more.

The Casino Store also has some special ghastly offerings, including Halloween-themed Sculptures, Wall Art and Masks.
