The GTA Online Halloween 2023 event has now concluded, bringing an end to four weeks of spooky events across Los Santos and Blaine County, meaning things are now returning to normal and there are no more weird color schemes dominating the night skies. Hopefully during that month you were able to collect the various free masks available for playing, which will still be in your inventory, as well as earning additional rewards for tracking down the limited-time collectibles and picking up some bonus RP and cash in the Halloween-themed modes. Although it has now finished, if you're interested then here's a round up of everything that was included in the GTA Online Halloween event of 2023.
When was the GTA Online Halloween 2023 event
The GTA Online Halloween event in 2023 started on October 5 and after "four weeks of nonstop mischief" it came to a close on Thursday, November 2, 2023. This means you can no longer claim the rewards and other spooky items which launched during that month, but those that you collected will always be available to you in GTA Online.
You could get the GTA Online White Vintage Skull Mask (and others) for free by playing
During the Halloween event there were various masks given away for free, with the last one being the GTA Online White Vintage Skull Mask that was awarded to everyone who played during the fourth and final week. With any of those masks equipped, you can also go to the Style section of the Interaction Menu and change your Action to 'Mask Audio' to get a spooky sound effect you can trigger on command.
Jack O' Lanterns returned for Halloween
Rockstar left it late this year, but the 200 GTA Online Jack O' Lanterns returned to locations all over Los Santos and Blaine County for the final week of the Halloween event. You only needed to collect 10 of them each day to receive a bonus of GTA$50,000, but you had to watch out as each Pumpkin you picked up delivered a random Trick or Treat! A special bonus item was also promised to players who managed to collect all 200 of them before the GTA Online Halloween event ended, which is an impressive feat.
Halloween-themed vehicles were available
If you wanted to add some GTA Online new cars with a spooky theme to your collection, then there were a wide selection of them available in the final week from the two standalone showrooms. Most of these had a substantial discount too, so there was no excuse to miss out on these deals:
- Premium Deluxe Motorsport
- Albany Franken Stange with Spider Trap livery - 50% off
- Chariot Romero Hearse - 50% off
- Declasse Tornado Rat Rod - 50% off
- Dundreary Landstalker XL with Blood Splatter livery
- Western Zombie Bobber with Red Flames livery - 50% off
- Luxury Autos
- LCC Sanctus with the Ghost Flames livery - 40% off
- Overflod Autarch - 40% off
You could bust some ghosts for spooky rewards
During the Halloween event you received an email from GTA Online Ghosts Exposed, sending you off to bring back photographic evidence of spooks appearing across Blaine County. Finding all ten of them (including a familiar face from the main single player campaign) would unlock a unique livery for the Albany Brigham vehicle so you could re-enact the Ghostbusters movies.
The Halloween Horrors also returned
The GTA Online Slashers were back in town for this event, so you had to watch your back as you explored Southern San Andreas! You needed to pay attention to any random events spawning around you, as you could find yourself fighting Slashers, Clowns, FIB Agents, and more – even an evil doppelganger of your online avatar.
You could take part in the Halloween events for up to triple rewards
The GTA Online Halloween event provided bonus incentives for taking part in various modes, and in the final week you could earn triple GTA$ and RP for playing Business Battles, including the chance to unlock the Conquest Mask, Famine Mask, War Mask, or Death Mask. There were also triple rewards available on Condemned plus all Freemode Events and Challenges, along with double GTA$ and RP in Alien Survivals, Judgement Day, Slasher, Slashers, Lost vs. Damned, and the Halloween Bunker Series, so there were plenty of opportunities to earn.
UFOs reappeared for GTA Online Halloween
We were warned to expect "paranormal activity" during the Halloween month, so if you think you saw something strange in the skies, chances are it was one of the GTA Online UFOs. There were plenty of different alien craft appearing during the Halloween event, with cash and other rewards available for sending photos of them to Omega. If you captured enough of them you may have even experienced the big finale, featuring a UFO invasion over Los Santos and a high probability of abduction!
