GTA Online Celebrates Halloween With Scary Masks, Pumpkin Scavenger Hunt, And More

It's the spooky season, and Grand Theft Auto Online is continuing its Halloween celebrations with additional events this week and a big Halloween makeover across the game.

Halloween is now in "full effect" in GTA Online, Rockstar said in a blog post, and this includes hundreds of jack-o'-lanterns appearing across the game. Players who find 10 of these will get the Horror Pumpkin mask (see it below) and a bonus of $50,000 GTA$. Players who collect every single one in a single day will get "rare items" and another cash injection, but Rockstar warned that players should "watch out for the tricks..."

Additionally, players can pick up another mask, Conquest, simply by logging in to GTA Online this week. Players who sign up as a bodyguard or associate for an Organization, meanwhile, will get the Brown Vintage Frank mask. Those who finish a special cargo sell mission will get the Dark Green Vintage Vampire mask. You can see these three masks in the image below.

In addition to all of this, Rockstar said players should look to the skies and have their cameras ready, as UFOs have begun to appear. Players who snap a photo of every alien ship will "collect a fee from a generous believer," Rockstar said.

Continuing the spooky theme, the Slasher mode from previous GTA Online Halloween events returns, with one shotgun-wielding "slasher" player tracking down a group of "hunted" players who only have flashlights.

This is just a sampling of what's new in GTA Online this week--be sure to read Rockstar's blog post to see a full breakdown of the Halloween events and this week's discounts.

In other GTA news, Grand Theft Auto 6 recently had a big leak that revealed lots of videos, details, and information about the next entry in the series. Police have tracked down and apprehended someone they believe to be involved.
