October 16, 2026: The GTA Online Jack O' Lanterns are back for the 2026 Halloween celebrations, so go and round them up to complete a daily task – I received a GTA$100,000 bonus for doing this, which is not to be sniffed at!
The GTA Online Jack O' Lanterns have made a last minute return, and can once again be found in locations all over Los Santos and Blaine County, so the hunt is on for these spooky squashes. As in previous years, there are a total of 200 GTA Online Pumpkins spread all over the map, and with so many available you won't need to travel far between locations during the GTA Online Halloween season. You'll know you're close to one as your pad starts vibrating, but there's an added risk to grabbing these haunted decorations that you need to be aware of.
As you pick each one up you'll receive a random Trick or Treat, which could be a nice amount of cash or RP, but on the flip side you may become stoned or get flung through the air by a massive electric shock! If you want more details on where to find them, then here's everything you need to know about the GTA Online Jack O' Lanterns collectibles and the rewards for finding them.
GTA Online Jack O' Lanterns locations
There are a whopping 200 GTA Online Jack O' Lanterns locations all over Los Santos and Blaine County, which would take you significant time and effort to visit! Thankfully, you only need to collect 10 of these GTA Online Pumpkins each day to earn the daily bonus, so I've highlighted those in the area above at Vespucci Canals near the Del Perro Pier, as this is a safe location and all 10 are within a short distance. The Jack O' Lanterns respawn over time, which means you can return to this area each day to complete the daily task, though if you'd rather collect them elsewhere then GTAWeb.eu has the full set of locations.
GTA Online Jack O' Lanterns rewards
Complete the GTA Online Ghosts Exposed challenge by photographing all 10 spooks.
Each time you collect 10 GTA Online Jack O' Lanterns in the same daily period, you'll receive a GTA$50,000 bonus. You can check your progress towards this by opening the Interaction Menu and choosing Inventory > Daily Collectibles then looking at Trick Or Treat. Rockstar have also confirmed there is a rare Halloween-themed item awarded "for going the extra mile to collect all 200 [GTA Online Pumpkins] strewn around the map" in the form of a special Pumpkin Tee, so it's up to you to decide if that's worth the effort!
On top of that, every time you collect a Jack O' Lantern you'll receive either a Trick or a Treat, and this continues for as many Pumpkins as you can find. What you get is completely random every time you pick one up, and examples I've encountered so far include:
- Trick: Energy Pulse
- Trick: Explosion
- Trick: GTA Online Peyote Plants Trip
- Trick: Shock
- Trick: Stoned
- Treat: 1,000 RP
- Treat: GTA$ (random amount)
- Treat: Health and Armor
- Treat: Snacks
