'Grand Theft Auto Online' Adds Slasher Bonuses, Día de Muertos Rewards, Double Rewards on Acid Lab Sell Missions, Free Masks 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.

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.

Halloween chaos continues to surge across GTA Online this week as players can earn Double GTA$ and RP for braving the darkness in the Slasher Adversary Mode.

Plus, with the community demolishing the original North Yankton Nightmare Community Challenge, we’ve upped the ante with a new goal of slaying 800 million zombies in the Ludendorff Cemetery Survival Mode to reward all players with the Purple Glow and Green Glow Skeleton Onesies.

Slashers Creep Up on Locals as Halloween Chaos Escalates

Reports of Slashers stalking Los Santos are through the roof, including bruised and blemished clones wandering the streets in search of prospective targets. There’s also an added paranormal streak to the citywide chaos, with increased UFO sightings alongside reports that these alien vessels are teleporting anyone within touching distance to undisclosed locations.

2X GTA$ and RP on Slasher

Stalk a team of up to seven Hunted as the Slasher, armed with a shotgun. After three minutes, the dynamic shifts as the Hunted become the hunters, receiving shotguns of their own. Both sides of this conflict walk away with Double Rewards all week long — swelling to 4X for GTA+ Members.

Jump into the action by entering the Featured Series in Legion Square or by navigating to Adversary Modes in the Pause Menu.

North Yankton Nightmare Community Challenge

Congratulations! After making quick work of the North Yankton Nightmare Challenge's initial target by vanquishing over 200 million zombies in the popular new Ludendorff Cemetery Survival over the span of two days, we upped the ante to 800 million and now you're poised to soar past that mark imminently.

Play GTA Online this week to receive the Orange Glow Skeleton Onesie and the Red Hooded Skull Mask, and look for the Purple Glow and Green Glow Skeleton Onesies to arrive as early as next week.

Bravely continuing to fight off these waves of ambling, reanimated corpses also continues to yield Double Rewards.

Get a Pair of Creepy Cat Masks

Picture a pair of eyes and a grin glowering in the darkness, and you’ll begin to see the appeal of the Brown Creepy Cat Mask, awarded upon logging into GTA Online anytime through October 23.

Killing your Clone Slasher will complete the Weekly Challenge and land you the Black Creepy Cat Mask and GTA$100,000. For the best chance of encountering these doppelgängers, make sure to enter Freemode at nighttime.

Día de Muertos Rewards

Celebrate Día de Muertos with a pair of decorated candy skulls to hide your visage — you’ll receive the Maritime Calaca Mask and Royal Calaca Mask simply by playing anytime this week.
