Embrace stealth, teamwork, and that insatiable hunger for the almighty dollar as you pilfer your way through El Rubio’s exotic Cayo Perico compound, break into The Diamond Casino & Resort's highly secure vault, save San Andreas from total annihilation, and pull off a string of intense robberies at some of Los Santos' most closely guarded institutions during The Heist Challenge.

Each week in November will focus on a different GTA Online Heist, with the sun-soaked shores of The Cayo Perico Heist taking center stage this week, kicking off a new monthlong Community Challenge.



NEW COMMUNITY CHALLENGE

After watching the GTA Online community decimate the lurching zombie hordes in last month’s North Yankton Nightmare Community Challenge and surpass last year's Doomsday Scenario Challenge goal more than 5X over, we’re eager to see if you can topple the latest trial — collectively stealing GTA$20 TRILLION between now and December 4 by completing select Heist Finales in The Heist Challenge.

Successfully smash this target by December 4 and we’ll unlock a vault full of rewards worthy of taking down this audacious objective, including the Pacific Standard Varsity Jacket and a pair of brand-new surprises in December’s new GTA Online update including a new vehicle.

Trick-or-treaters, beware! This Halloween, reports of abductions are at a new high. The UFOs above the city’s skyline are seizing unsuspecting citizens and dropping them in a dark, locked basement under Fort Zancudo with up to three other unfortunate souls. Look for clues to restore the power and escape with body and mind intact.

In other unexplained aerial phenomena, Merryweather’s hauled a crashed UFO to Fort Zancudo for testing. Work together to take out Merryweather’s agents and then turn your weapons on each other to see who gets to claim the spaceship’s parts and deliver them to Omega’s shack in this limited-time Business Battle.

There are also gifts for Halloween and Día de Muertos, bonuses on Judgement Day, Alien Survivals, and Street Dealer Sales. Plus, slay zombies in the Ludendorff Cemetery Survival through November 6 before Halloween season ends.



ESCAPE ABDUCTION TO GET THE SHOCKER

Successfully escaping alien clutches in the UFO Abduction will reward you with The Shocker — a less-than-lethal device to incapacitate targets without risk of mortal injury (great for taking down Bounty Targets). Plus, earn GTA$ and RP for your efforts, alongside returning Green and White UFO Boxer Shorts for being abducted.

HALLOWEEN GIFTS

Don’t get caught without a costume: play GTA Online anytime this week to receive the Halloween Spooky Tee, the Halloween Chute Bag, and the Red Flaming Skull Mask.

The Halloween-inspired commotion in Los Santos is spreading. More mayhem is appearing around every corner, with haunted vehicles and supernatural creatures now roaming the streets. Confront chaos in Halloween Deathmatches, don more spooky masks, and boost your earnings in Freemode Events and Challenges.

Plus, claim the Purple Glow and Green Glow Skeleton Onesies from the North Yankton Nightmare Community Challenge, and you can now create your own zombie encounters with undead additions to the GTA Online Survival Creator. Brace yourself for the seasonally strange occurrences to reach new heights as the UFO sighting stories give way to tales of full-blown extraterrestrial abduction.



COMMUNITY CHALLENGE REWARDS

Having successfully banished more than 800 million zombies in the North Yankton Nightmare Community Challenge the GTA Online community has unlocked the Purple Glow and Green Glow Skeleton Onesies — along with the Orange Glow Skeleton Onesie and the Red Hooded Skull Mask initially awarded last week. Claim these ghoulish rewards by logging in anytime this week.

Experiment with the undead in your own custom GTA Online Jobs as Zombie pedestrians are now available in the Survival Creator to create your own wave-based horrors. Make sure to use the tag #CommunitySeries when publishing your Jobs for the chance to be featured in a future Community Series.

Reports of Slashers stalking Los Santos are through the roof, including bruised and blemished clones wandering the streets in search of prospective targets. There’s also an added paranormal streak to the citywide chaos, with increased UFO sightings alongside reports that these alien vessels are teleporting anyone within touching distance to undisclosed locations.

2X GTA$ AND RP ON SLASHER

Stalk a team of up to seven Hunted as the Slasher, armed with a shotgun. After three minutes, the dynamic shifts as the Hunted become the hunters, receiving shotguns of their own. Both sides of this conflict walk away with Double Rewards all week long.



NORTH YANKTON NIGHTMARE COMMUNITY CHALLENGE

Congratulations! After making quick work of the North Yankton Nightmare Challenge's initial target by vanquishing over 200 million zombies in the popular new Ludendorff Cemetery Survival over the span of two days, we upped the ante to 800 million and now you're poised to soar past that mark imminently.

Play GTA Online this week to receive the Orange Glow Skeleton Onesie and the Red Hooded Skull Mask, and look for the Purple Glow and Green Glow Skeleton Onesies to arrive as early as next week.

Bravely fighting off these waves of ambling, reanimated corpses also continues to yield Double Rewards.
