Halloween hits Grand Theft Auto Online with new masks, vehicles and more

It’s a spooky time in Los Santos this weekend, as GTA Online gets in on a little Halloween fun.

Already kind of frightening when you think about it, the online haven for all things criminal that is Grand Theft Auto Online is getting that much more scary this weekend with a special Halloween download. The new update, dubbed Halloween Surprise, adds in a pair of new vehicles for you to drive, as well as a bunch of new masks to don.

The promotional items will be available only for a limited time though, till November 16th. However, as with most of the special items in the game, once you add them to your character’s inventory, they’re yours forever.

And while you’re in the Halloween mood, there’s also a special livestream focusing on the new releases into GTA Online. You can catch that tomorrow, October 30th, at 5pm Eastern Time. We’ll have more details for you on it tomorrow morning (we assume). In the meantime though, scroll on down to see what’s in the Halloween Surprise pack.

2 NEW VEHICLES: LURCHER HEARSE AND FRANKEN STANGE

Navigating the freeways of Los Santos just got more terrifying with the addition of these two ghastly new vehicles. Players can show their dark side while getting around in the Lurcher Hearse and the Franken Stange – both available for a limited time only, along with 20 ghoulish new Bobbleheads that can be added to the dashboard of any customizable Lowrider.

NEW MASKS & FACE PAINTS

Strike fear into opponents by donning one of the horrific new masks now available in the Monsters section of Vespucci Movie Masks. Crews tackling a Heist between now and November 16 will see a new Halloween mask category as the default option on all Heists. 30 Spooky new styles of Face Paint are also available to help players get into the spirit of the season.

SLASHER ADVERSARY MODE

Enjoy thrills and suspense with the lights out in this tense new Adversary Mode for up to 8 players. Run, hide, and fight to survive in the darkness as the player designated as the Slasher stalks his prey with a Shotgun. Players can use the new Flashlight to navigate if they dare, but risk revealing their position and quickly becoming prey. Survive for 3 minutes and get the chance to return the favor with a Shotgun of your own.
