UFOs have been spotted by residents of Southern San Andreas! In this Weazel News report, we will take a look at the details of this special event featuring UFOs in GTA Online. This is not the first time UFOs have descended onto the land of Blaine County and streets of Los Santos. Last year during Halloween, residents experienced freak weather and UFOs hanging over their heads.
How To and Rewards
Every day from October 15th, a new UFO or few will appear on the map. The location will change each day but the time will remain the same for the first part of the event: between 10pm and 4am in-game time. Once the Halloween weather is activated, they will appear between 7:30pm and 6:30am in-game time. There will be a total of 26 UFOs to photograph over the next few weeks.
Simply find a UFO and go near it but not too close. If you take a photo of a UFO using Snapmatic, you’ll be able to send it to Omega on your iFruit phone. The option will appear when you’ve taken a photo within range.
You will earn some GTA$ and RP for each photo. $15,000 and 1000RP for a standard UFO and Stealth UFOs are rarer so they’ll net you $50,000 and 1000RP. If you capture every unique UFO, you will unlock special, bonus rewards! These are the UFO Boxer Shorts and “???” tee and Glow Believe Cap at the end of October.
There will be a new weapon given at the end of this event later in the month. It is a melee stun rod weapon called the The Shocker. Details on this coming soon…
