'Grand Theft Auto Online' Adds Ghost Sightings, The New Albany Brigham, Halloween Deathmatch Bonuses And More

by Rainier on Oct. 12, 2023 @ 8:55 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 reports of ghost sightings throughout Los Santos, the local paranormal investigation team, Ghosts Exposed, is offering GTA$ and RP to players who snap photos of spirits throughout the city. Photographing all the ghosts will reward players with the Ghosts Exposed livery for the all-new Albany Brigham muscle car.

Hunt Ghosts with the New Albany Brigham

With darkness taking hold and supernatural sightings rising, a vintage transport also storms forth into GTA Online this week. The Albany Brigham (Muscle) blends classic style with a seasonally appropriate vibe.

The Albany Brigham is now available to purchase from Southern San Andreas Super Autos, and on display at The Vinewood Car Club where it is free to claim for GTA+ Members through November 8.

The Hunt is On
Local paranormal investigators, Ghosts Exposed, need your help uncovering evidence of apparitions haunting the citizens of Southern San Andreas. Seek out these spirits, snap photos of them with your iFruit’s camera, and send your grainy photographic proof to the team for GTA$ and RP.

Don’t get too close — the spooky may become spooked themselves and disappear into the night.

Get the Ghosts Exposed Livery

After successfully photographing the final lost soul, determined hunters will receive the Ghosts Exposed livery for the new Albany Brigham.

New Halloween Deathmatches

Compete in a trio of new Halloween Deathmatches that tap into the season’s morbid and macabre atmosphere and are all paying out 2X GTA$ and RP during their inaugural week, stacking up to a juicy 4X multiplier for GTA+ Members.

Drop Dead: The dead are rising, and they’re only after one thing — the living. In this Team Deathmatch, the living fight for survival against the dead. To win, all they must do is outlast the attack. If they die, they join the dead to continue the hunt until there’s no soul left alive. The dead have no blips, move swiftly, can climb and regenerate their health faster, so keep your wits about you.

Suck It Up: Go head-to-head in this gruesome Deathmatch where dealing damage keeps you on your feet. That’s right, drain the life from your enemies and add it to your own. Just like your toxic ex used to do. Lives are limited and your own health drains over time, so you better pick your victim fast.

Damned and Lost: Welcome to the Free-for-All Deathmatch of your nightmares. A maze full of opponents with no blips while they’re on the move. Face your fears around every corner until you’re the last one standing.

Beware of Possessed Animals

Troubling news reports indicate a spike in sightings of possessed creatures attacking innocent bystanders. Weazel News and local administrators are warning residents to approach these entities with extreme caution, as they’re known to morph into more menacing forms when approached or provoked.

Halloween Freemode Events

Don’t let your guard down for a split-second, as the spine-chilling incidents spill out into Freemode this week and beyond. Wide-eyed strangers are ranting and rambling about UFOs in the sky, while Business Battles require stealing spaceship parts out from under the FIB’s nose at Fort Zancudo. There are also apparently phantom cars trailing their every move and, in the case of one aggressive Cerberus, ramming them off the road by force.

Halloween Masks

Don frightful disguises to maximize the fear factor this week: collect the Green Vintage Witch Mask by simply playing GTA Online anytime this week, complete a Bunker Sell Mission to get your claws on the Orange Vintage Werewolf Mask, and complete a Bunker Steal Supplies Mission to receive the Light Green Vintage Vampire Mask.

Double Rewards on Bunker Sell Missions

Once you’ve successfully gathered supplies and converted them into stock, offload them in Bunker Sell Missions to earn 2X GTA$ and RP through October 18.

Haven’t taken your operations underground yet? You’re missing out — luckily Bunkers, plus their Upgrades and Modifications, are all 30% off this week.

New Halloween Props

Become a master of puppets with new features added to the GTA Online Job Creator, including a new Halloween weather option and several sinister new props like pumpkins and Jack-o’-lanterns — to build out your horror set.

Bonuses on Halloween Modes

Get into the grisly spirit of the season by jumping into the action in Halloween-themed modes, including Triple Rewards on Slasher and 2X GTA$ and RP on Judgement Day (which means 4X for GTA+ Members), and the Halloween Bunker Series.

Premium Deluxe Motorsport

Despite his confrontational personality, moto-mogul Simeon Yetarian wants to make shopping for a car less intimidating. His latest selection features five returning vehicles across an assortment of categories:

  1. Dewbauchee Exemplar (Coupe)
  2. Enus Cognoscenti Cabrio (Coupe)
  3. Ocelot F620 (Coupe)
  4. Grotti Carbonizzare (Sports)
  5. Vapid FMJ (Super, 40% off)

Additional Vehicle Offerings This Week

Place Top 4 in the LS Car Meet Series two days in a row this week to get the Annis Hellion (Off-Road), with the limited time Nightmare livery.

Spin the Lucky Wheel inside The Diamond Casino & Resort for the opportunity to walk away the winner of the Karin Futo GTX (Sports).
