'Grand Theft Auto Online' Adds More Halloween Goodies, Reports of Clone Slashers, BF Weevil Custom, Bonuses And More

by Rainier on Oct. 27, 2022 @ 8:31 a.m. PDT

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.

When a young street hustler, a retired bank robber and a terrifying psychopath find themselves entangled with some of the most frightening and deranged elements of the criminal underworld, the U.S. government and the entertainment industry, they must pull off a series of dangerous heists to survive in a ruthless city in which they can trust nobody, least of all each other.

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.

Grand Theft Auto V also comes with Grand Theft Auto Online, the dynamic and ever-evolving online universe for up to 30 players, and includes all existing gameplay upgrades and content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Rise through the ranks to become a CEO of your own criminal empire by trading contraband or form a Motorcycle Club and rule the streets. Pull off daring co-operative Heists, enter adrenaline-fueled Stunt Races, compete in unique Adversary Modes or create your own content to play and share with the entire GTA community.

With Halloween fast approaching, the eerie energy blanketing the city brings with it new reports of strange figures stalking citizens of Southern San Andreas – the latest oddities to hit GTA Online following UFO sightings, rogue driverless trucks, and Jack O’ Lanterns scattered across town.

In addition, a free rare Sasquatch Outfit awaits players who log in on Halloween Day, while a variety of masks are available to those who play this week.

Halloween Hysteria Moves Towards Its Chilling Climax

Prepare for the surreal and uncanny to run amok. Stay aware of your surroundings with a new — yet eerily familiar — foe stalking the streets of Los Santos. And keep your camera pointed skyward to capture definitive proof of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena hovering above.

Plus, pick up rare new items, doom your enemies in the returning Condemned and other frightening modes, and take a trip to Benny’s for an infernal new take on a classic ride.

Rewind the Clock Behind the Wheel of the BF Weevil Custom

The ’70s were already an age of extremes. Bell-bottoms and hot pants. Environmentalism and napalm. And now, we’ve got BF Weevils equipped with flame decals and menacing roof spikes.

Guard yourself against the ghastly terrors of this Halloween season with a BF Weevil Custom, now available at Benny's Original Motor Works.

Get the Sasquatch Outfit and Death Mask

Once a campfire legend and the protagonist of many a childhood bad dream, the Sasquatch Outfit is a wearable nightmare. Log in and play GTA Online on October 31 to receive this rare outfit for free. And scare the devil out of everyone you meet by claiming and wearing the Death mask, made famous in Judgement Day, available to all GTA Online players this week.

Beware the Clone Slasher

Los Santos is a place where if you feel like there’s someone looking over your shoulder, there probably is, and they’re probably heavily armed. But reports of driverless vehicles, and now strange figures stalking citizens around town, are new — even for the capital city of paranoia.

2X GTA$ and RP on Halloween Modes

This week celebrates the gnarliest, goriest, and most gruesome that GTA Online has to offer, including 2X GTA$ and RP for conquering the claustrophobic close quarters of the Halloween Bunker Series, the recently debuted Judgement Day mode, and all these spooky returning Halloween-themed modes:

Condemned: Fight against the ultimate enemy — the unstoppable march of time — in a grisly mode that marks one of the competitors as cursed in close quarters, making its return to GTA Online this week. You have two options: die when your timer runs out or pass the deadly curse onto somebody else by killing them.

Complete a round of Condemned to receive the Orange & Gray Tech Demon mask, delivered within 72 hours of login after November 8.

Come Out to Play: Get to home base fast in Come Out to Play, where Runners attempt to beat the clock and dodge oncoming fire on their way to the escape zone as a group of Hunters chase them down on motorbikes and ATVs.

Lost vs. Damned: Play as cherub-faced Angels or red-suited Devils and compete for points in dense environments that shift from day to night every 60 seconds. Oh, and once that shift happens, your Weapon loadout changes too.

Collect Masks and Other Terrifying Accessories

Complete any Sell Mission this week to receive a Halloween Chute Bag.

Successfully deliver Cargo during a Business Battle to receive the Pale Vintage Mummy mask or the Green Vintage Frank mask.

Only on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S

  • This Week’s Premium Test Ride: Übermacht Sentinel XS: Point yourself toward Hao’s Special Works and prepare to be awed by Hao’s latest exhibition piece, an improved version of the Übermacht Sentinel XS with even more jargon jammed under the hood.

  • This Week’s HSW Time Trial: Put Hao’s one-of-a-kind upgrades to the test as you gun it between North Chumash and Palomino Highlands in this week’s HSW Time Trial.

Get 2X GTA$ and RP on Alien Survivals, Slasher, and Beast vs. Slasher

There are few things scarier than organized government response — especially when you’re wearing an alien costume and toting a laser-gun. Collect out-of-this-world bonuses for taking part in Alien Survivals all week long with 2X GTA$ and RP.

It’s one versus seven as a lone, shotgun-wielding Slasher stalks their unarmed prey in the pitch darkness. After three minutes, the tables turn and the Hunted trade in their flashlights for shotguns. Rely on your senses of sound and touch in this hyper-sensory mode to earn 2X GTA$ and RP.

The Beasts are out this Halloween in Beast vs. Slasher and there’s only one way to stop them: lots and lots of weapons. Thankfully for the Slashers, that’s exactly what they have in their fight against superhuman adversaries. Beast or Slasher, you’ll get 2X GTA$ and RP either way.

2X GTA$, RP, and Arena Points in the Arena War Series

In addition to all the creepy and mysterious events taking place in Los Santos, don’t miss out on earning Double Rewards for partaking in the hypercompetitive vehicular madness of the Arena War Series this week.
