GTA Online’s Halloween UFO Event Unveils Exciting Rewards
The annual Halloween UFO event in Southern San Andreas has concluded, offering players the chance to earn exciting rewards. This event allows players to be abducted by one of the numerous UFOs scattered across the map, leading to both new and returning rewards. Last year’s highlight was “The Shocker,” a stun baton weapon that players could discover and extract from an alien research bunker. For those who missed out last year, the opportunity to unlock this weapon, along with the Gray Space Interloper Outfit, has returned. The Shocker is a unique melee weapon that delivers an electric shock to opponents, incapacitating them temporarily, while the Gray Space Interloper Outfit transforms players into extraterrestrial figures, allowing for chaotic fun in Los Santos.
Steps to Escape the Alien Lab and Unlock Rewards
Step 1: Avoid Leadership Roles
To kick off your adventure, it’s essential to refrain from being the leader of any organization, such as Motorcycle Clubs. For now, play as an independent character without any leadership roles.
Step 2: Get Abducted by a UFO
Your next mission is to get abducted. Locate one of the UFOs hovering over Los Santos and walk into its beam. Be aware that there is a time constraint during the main event, so ensure you understand Step 3 before getting abducted. Typically, UFOs are available from 10 PM to 4 AM in-game, but during the Halloween event, they appear earlier and stay longer, from 7:30 PM to 6:30 AM in-game time. Keep your in-game phone handy for updates on UFO activity! Additionally, snapping a photo of any UFO rewards players with $15,000 and 1,000 RP, while capturing all 26 UFOs nets a bonus of $100,000 and exclusive UFO Believe Caps.
Step 3: Prepare for Uncertainty
There’s a 50% chance that once you’re abducted, you’ll awaken in a secret bunker located under Fort Zancudo. If you don’t, simply try again by locating another UFO once you resurface. Regardless of the outcome, being abducted will reward you with the Green and White UFO Boxers and a ??? tee.
Step 4: Grab the Crowbar
After being beamed up, you have a 10-minute window to complete essential tasks. You will awaken on a medical bed in first-person view. Press the appropriate button to rise and explore the room, where you’ll find several beds, tables, and cabinets. One cabinet holds a crowbar that you must collect using the Left d-pad.
Step 5: Acquire The Shocker and Gray Space Interloper Outfit
With the crowbar in hand, exit the room through the door into a corridor. Enter the first room on your left filled with green boxes and a wooden crate. Use the crowbar to open the crate and claim The Shocker and Gray Space Interloper Outfit. However, these items cannot be used just yet, and it’s unsafe to remain in GTA Online at this point. Completing the puzzle here will net you $25,000 and 1,000 RP if you return after solving it, or $2,000 if you previously looted the crate within 60 minutes.
Step 6: Observe the Symbols
This is the trickiest segment of the quest. Proceed to the end of the corridor where you’ll find four levers against the left wall, each marked with a glowing symbol: a circle with a waveform, a DNA helix, four circular maze patterns, and small circles extending from lines. You must determine the correct order to pull these levers based on how frequently each symbol appears in various rooms within the bunker. Do not pull any levers just yet; pulling the wrong lever three times will trigger a gas flood, sending you back to a random map location. It’s advisable to take note of the symbols and their counts as you progress.
Step 7: Return to the Initial Room
Go back to the room where you initially woke up. You’ll find monitors displaying the waveform symbol. Count how many monitors feature this symbol, which will indicate the order in which to pull the corresponding lever. For instance, if you see two monitors displaying it, that lever should be pulled second.
Step 8: Analyze the First Locked Room
Exit the starting room and look right to find a large locked room with two windows. Approach the left window, where weapons are displayed. The number of weapons visible will determine the order for pulling the DNA helix lever. For example, if there’s one weapon, it should be the first lever pulled.
Step 9: Revisit The Shocker Room
Proceed to the opposite side of the corridor where you initially found The Shocker. Inside, count the green army crates; some will have the glowing maze pattern symbol. The number of crates displaying this symbol will dictate when to pull the corresponding lever. For instance, if there are four crates, that lever should be pulled fourth.
Step 10: Check the Other Locked Room
Exit the Shocker room and to your left is another locked room with windows. Count how many laptops display the symbol featuring small circles emanating from lines. For example, if three laptops show this symbol, that lever should be pulled third.
Step 11: Solve the Puzzle
Now that you have your lever-pulling order, rush back to the levers at the corridor’s end. Use the Left d-pad to pull each lever in the correct sequence. A green light will indicate a correct pull, while a red light warns you of incorrect attempts and the impending gas flood. Once all levers are pulled in the correct order, the elevator doors will open. Step inside and press Left on the d-pad to rise to the surface of Fort Zancudo, where you’ll emerge with a 4-star wanted level, $25,000, 1,000 RP, The Shocker, and the Gray Space Interloper Outfit! You can now unleash this melee weapon on unsuspecting NPCs and players alike.
