Hunt Ghosts with the New Albany Brigham – Earn a Special Livery, Get 2X Rewards in Grisly New Halloween Deathmatches, and More

With darkness taking hold and supernatural sightings rising, a vintage transport also storms forth into GTA Online this week. The Albany Brigham (Muscle) blends classic style with a seasonally appropriate vibe.

The Albany Brigham is now available to purchase from Southern San Andreas Super Autos, and on display at The Vinewood Car Club where it is free to claim for GTA+ Members through November 8.

The Hunt is On
Local paranormal investigators, Ghosts Exposed, need your help uncovering evidence of apparitions haunting the citizens of Southern San Andreas. Seek out these spirits, snap photos of them with your iFruit’s camera, and send your grainy photographic proof to the team for GTA$ and RP.

Don’t get too close — the spooky may become spooked themselves and disappear into the night.

Get the Ghosts Exposed Livery

After successfully photographing the final lost soul, determined hunters will receive the Ghosts Exposed livery for the new Albany Brigham.

New Halloween Deathmatches

Compete in a trio of new Halloween Deathmatches that tap into the season’s morbid and macabre atmosphere and are all paying out 2X GTA$ and RP during their inaugural week, stacking up to a juicy 4X multiplier for GTA+ Members.

Drop Dead: The dead are rising, and they’re only after one thing — the living. In this Team Deathmatch, the living fight for survival against the dead. To win, all they must do is outlast the attack. If they die, they join the dead to continue the hunt until there’s no soul left alive. The dead have no blips, move swiftly, can climb and regenerate their health faster, so keep your wits about you.

Suck It Up: Go head-to-head in this gruesome Deathmatch where dealing damage keeps you on your feet. That’s right, drain the life from your enemies and add it to your own. Just like your toxic ex used to do. Lives are limited and your own health drains over time, so you better pick your victim fast.

Damned and Lost: Welcome to the Free-for-All Deathmatch of your nightmares. A maze full of opponents with no blips while they’re on the move. Face your fears around every corner until you’re the last one standing.

Beware of Possessed Animals

Troubling news reports indicate a spike in sightings of possessed creatures attacking innocent bystanders. Weazel News and local administrators are warning residents to approach these entities with extreme caution, as they’re known to morph into more menacing forms when approached or provoked.

Halloween Freemode Events

Don’t let your guard down for a split-second, as the spine-chilling incidents spill out into Freemode this week and beyond. Wide-eyed strangers are ranting and rambling about UFOs in the sky, while Business Battles require stealing spaceship parts out from under the FIB’s nose at Fort Zancudo. There are also apparently phantom cars trailing their every move and, in the case of one aggressive Cerberus, ramming them off the road by force.

Halloween Masks

Don frightful disguises to maximize the fear factor this week: collect the Green Vintage Witch Mask by simply playing GTA Online anytime this week, complete a Bunker Sell Mission to get your claws on the Orange Vintage Werewolf Mask, and complete a Bunker Steal Supplies Mission to receive the Light Green Vintage Vampire Mask.

Double Rewards on Bunker Sell Missions

Once you’ve successfully gathered supplies and converted them into stock, offload them in Bunker Sell Missions to earn 2X GTA$ and RP through October 18.

Haven’t taken your operations underground yet? You’re missing out — luckily Bunkers, plus their Upgrades and Modifications, are all 30% off this week.

New Halloween Props

Become a master of puppets with new features added to the GTA Online Job Creator, including a new Halloween weather option and several sinister new props like pumpkins and Jack-o’-lanterns — to build out your horror set.

Bonuses on Halloween Modes

Get into the grisly spirit of the season by jumping into the action in Halloween-themed modes, including Triple Rewards on Slasher and 2X GTA$ and RP on Judgement Day (which means 4X for GTA+ Members), and the Halloween Bunker Series.

Premium Deluxe Motorsport

October welcomes plenty of ominous and otherworldly autumnal additions to World of Warships with a Heroes of Might and Magic III collaboration, a Halloween Operation and plenty of new ships just in time for Black Friday

11 October – Wargaming, the publisher and developer of the leading naval battle MMO World of Warships, are celebrating the spookiest season of the year with plenty of treats for players to dive into! Amongst these is a special collaboration with the iconic strategy game Heroes of Might and Magic III, with six new Commanders to take the helm and lead any fleet to victory. This update also introduces a festive “The Last Voyage of Transylvania” Operation for Halloween sure to make players shiver with fright, alongside three new Japanese battleships in Early Access and four vessels coming to the game just in time for Black Friday. 

Might and Magic in World of Warships

Heroes of Might Magic III makes an exciting appearance just in time for the most mystical month of the year! Six new Commanders from the iconic turn-based strategy game come on the 19^th October in Warships to assert naval dominance over the high seas. Each of these Commanders comes equipped with their own unique voice over, including a reprisal of their roles from the original voice actors for Catherine Ironfist of the Castle and Sandro of the Necropolis. These high-fantasy captains all come with ten skill points, ready to lead any armada to victory. A new map directly inspired by Heroes of Might and Magic III can be found in the armory where players will unlock the Commanders alongside various resources like credits, experience points, free access to Premium account and economic bonuses.

Alongside this, World of Warships has also introduced a special DLC bundle on sale at a 50% discount on Steam, that includes the iconic Commander Sandro, premium account access and plenty of in-game bonuses, rewards and credits. This bundle doesn’t just contain World of Warships DLC, though, as players will also receive a copy of Heroes of Might and Magic III HD Edition.

Three new Japanese battleships

Dropping anchor in a newly updated Kure Port, Tier VIII Yumihari, Tier IX Adatara and Tier X Bungo all sail into Early Access. Available for purchase via the Japanese token temporary resource, these ships encompass the signature high firing range and good accuracy of Japanese gun-bearing ships. Alongside their large-calibre main battery guns, these vessels have slots for either the “Fighter” or “Spotting Aircraft” consumables to accommodate for their lower Hit Point pools. To celebrate these additions to the game, a themed collection has also been added, rewarding those who complete the 60-piece collection with a Mount Fuji Sunrise permanent camouflage for Yumihari.

Hair-raising Halloween Operations

This update also introduces plenty of creepy content just in time for Halloween! Alongside the addition of standard and Premium Jack-o’-Lantern Containers, a special, spooky Operation comes to the game. Running across regional servers from 25 October to 9 November, this mission finds players escorting and defending Transylvania on her perilous journey to find and destroy a portal, and prevent the Forces of Darkness from spreading any further. To compensate for this tricky predicament, ships of all types spanning Tier VIII-IX can participate in this year’s Halloween Operation – with the added bonus of special modifiers to balance out performance.
