Halloween Week in GTA Online

As Halloween season hits fever pitch this week,things are out-of-this-world unusual in GTA Online.

Double Rewards on Alien Survivals + Business Battle Bonuses

Wrap your creepy humanoid feelers around a futuristic laser weapon and batten down against the armed earthlings for as long as possible – Alien Survivals are paying out double to all players this week.

Meanwhile, there are whispers that a downed unidentified flying object has been hauled off to Fort Zancudo for testing. Most of the information is redacted, but the basics are simple: work together in this new Business Battle to take out the Merryweather agents and then haul whatever extraterrestrial gear you can grab to Omega’s shack, ASAP.

This and all other Business Battles are paying out double this week, so it’ll be worth your while. Plus, just to sweeten the pot: win any Event Business Battle this week and you’ll get the Cultstoppers Tee as an added bonus.
