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 includes all of the UFO locations (on the day they appear) and the rewards for finding them.
It is not the first time UFOs have descended onto the land of Blaine County and streets of Los Santos. In the past few years during Halloween, residents experienced freak weather and UFOs hanging over their heads.
How To And Rewards
Every day from October 14th, 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.
The melee stun rod weapon called the The Shocker can also be earned through doing this. Last year, it was added to the game and was unlocked through completing a series of tasks in the secret Fort Zancudo lab. It will be unlockable the same way again this year. Learn how to do it here.
New for this year will be the Grey Space Interloper Outfit. This will be given out to those who partake in capturing the UFOs for the first time this year or in previous years. Below is a photo of it from the datamining of the Money Fronts update dripfeed via Tez2.
