What do you want to see for the "Halloween Event" this year?

[Guest]

Hello all.  I know a DLC just dropped so this may be too early to discuss for some but as a "Day1" player the latest update didnt do anything for me.  Its all too much too late.  The changes are still great for the newer players though so good job on that but for me,  I'm now left hoping December brings back some excitement.   However,  R* does do things for Halloween so I guess theres that to look forward to.  Last year they had killers pop up on the map,  the killer car Christine and UFOs gradually populated the sky.  It was all pretty cool.  Halloween is still a couple months away though so if things arent set in stone already then maybe we can inspire R* with some ideas before then.   What would you like to see this year for Halloween?

 

I want a zombie apocolypse.  Here is what I mean...

 

After 8 years it just baffles me that R* has never brought the most obvious thing to Online for Halloween.  A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!!!   It makes no sense to have never done this at least ONCE.  The damn game takes place in Los Santos which is the fictional representation of Los Angeles.  Not sure who here watches zombie TV shows but currently there is one that actually takes place in Los Angeles which is exactly where GTA V takes place.  For those who dont know what show Im referring to...

 

 

 

Whats more fitting for a Halloween event than this?  Certainly nothing they've done so far.  Its just freakin crazy they keep letting this pass by each year.  I dont understand it.  Halloween would be off the chain if they did this and after last year Im positive they can do it.  Here is how I think it can work along with other things I'd like to see this year for the Halloween Event Week...

 

* The sky like last year with rain at night but also make it change to dark,  gloomy and very foggy sometimes

* All NPCs are infected and chasing players.  there should be 3 levels of zombies...

 

• level 1 (regular peds) - these are the slowest and easiest to kill.  they dont run and cant climb and only bite
• level 2 (the zombie looking NPCs) - these are faster than the peds and a little harder to kill.  they can jog and also climb but like regular peds they only bite
• level 3 (slashers & player zombies) - slashers same as last year.  player zombies can run and climb but they mele instead of bite and are also hard to kill like the slashers (more on players zombies below)
   

* If you get bit a timer starts.  As time passes you get weaker and slower. When the times up you die and become a player zombie and can kill other players.  You cant use weapons only mele (slashing strikes not fighting) and you are very hard to kill like the slashers.  You must find a new session (or come back) to be alive again.  To stop the timer and recover you need a pill via pickup,  a mission or a friend can drop you one.

* Bring all the slashers back from last year as well as add new ones like Freddie,  Leatherface and duuuh MICHAEL MYERS?!?!?

* Bring back Christine but also add new killer vehicles such as the semi truck from Maximum Overdrive or maybe K.A.R.R. the evil twin of Nightrider who will shoot missles at players lol

* I dont care about the UFOs because we already seen them but since theyre coming back and we get abducted I guess I want to see that at least once

* All Ammunitions closed so we must rely on pickups and ammo drops (which wont be often).  Maybe reduce the bunker,  MOC and Terrobyte to limited ammo requiring freemode missions to restock them?

* No city traffic.  Just abandoned vehicles everywhere.  Random vehicles will work but the majority wont.  The ones that do will only last for a limited time.  Maybe R* adds a health bar to vehicles where driving them slowly reduce the bar and damage reduces it in chunks.  Either way once the bar is empty the car is dead.

* Personal vehicles also last for a limited time but longer than street vehicles.  Just like street vehicles once the bar is empty your vehicle is dead.  No mechanic so you must go to your garages to get new vehicles.

* All LSC are closed so no repairing "regular" vehicles.  Weaponized vehicles can be repaired but only through pickups on the map or freemode events (but I'd be OK with R* leaving the Arena open to repair them)

* Regular planes and helis will spawn on the map but not often and like vehicles they also dont last long (MKIIs,  jets and other large or weaponized aircrafts will not be available period) 

* Freemode challenges like "kill the most infected in 10 minutes" or "survive a zombie horde the longest without damage/dying" or "save the most NPCs from zombies",  etc

* Freemode events similar to Business Battles but instead of crates we collect medicine for when you get bit,  ammo or even trapped NPCs and we must delivering them to safety for rewards

* Miscellaneous: A bunch of Halloween costumes + masks to match,  Halloween themed weapons (Michael Myer's butcher knife,  Freddy's glove,  Leatherface's chainsaw,  etc)

* A mini story about stopping the plaque with missions such as...

 

• 3 scientists that can stop this are trapped and surrounded by the infected.  Bring them back to their lab (3 seperate rescue missions from 3 different locations)
• Once all 3 are together they need equipment to make a vaccine.  The parts are scattered around the map in different locations (basically a treasurehunt style minigame)
• Once you collect all the equipment the scientist now need chemicals for the vaccine.  (another treasurehunt style minigame)
• Once they have the vaccine transport the scientists to a specific location to save the city
• Lastly,  once at the location protect the scientists from zombie hordes while they insert the vaccine into the necessary place to save the city (could be one location or multiple)
   

Since the Halloween event lasts a full week it wouldnt make sense if it was possible to do all the missions and save the city on the first day.  R* could make it so the zombie apocolypse only happens on the last day of the event or make it start day 1 and gradually unlock the missions throughout the week.  I prefer the later but I cant speak for the community.  What do you guys think?  Im not expecting this at all but last year was cool and shows something like this is possible.  If they did do this I think it would be awesome.  Hopefully Im not alone on this.  Anyway,  thanks for reading and I'm looking forward to reading what you guys want.

- Slasher mode for Avon's abandoned Silo of Horrors (Juggernauts included)

- A small story arc involving a "mysterious figure" we'd have to investigate 

- Sexy costumes (witch, vampire, cat, bunny, etc,.)

- Knife After Dark special screening at the theaters in the city (as well as other movies)

- Mini freeroam modes where you can teepee houses/businesses

- Random ghost-like NPC's that can be found roaming around your owned properties

- Our owned properties decorated with Halloween decor (like how some are around Christmas)

- Halloween event at the Del Perro Pier complete with activities like apple bobbing 

- Everything we had last year 

 

I know there's no way in hell R* would do stuff like this (well maybe the last one lol), but a gal can dream! 

[MaddenedGhost]

I would like to see the weather alternating between being foggy and being the typical greenish Halloween weather they already have in the game, or maybe force the blackout like the one they do during Slasher and Human Labs finale.

 

UFOs are coming back, which is cool, I wish they'd do a little bit more than just sitting there, I also wish they'd use the Fort Zancudo UFO and not just the FIB one.

 

Speaking of which, a giant UFO above Los Santos in the final day of the sightings would be dope

[Max96]

I've seen videos about alien invasion and there was a message from Omega. Additionally, there was something about pumpkins collectibles.

i guess a repeat of last years halloween event.

This all sounds great.  I bet the ladies would love the costumes and ghosts roaming around our properties would be spooky. What if they also showed up inside after the lights go out?   Good stuff mama 

 

Thanks for posting your thoughts people.  Some cool ideas already.

Something similar to the ULP missions but this time you have to take down a murderous cult similar to the one Trevor encounters in the mountains.

And flipping costumes, lots and lots costumes. Nurses, doctors, nuns, vampires, and every thing from the classic Halloween costumes to sexy/cute ones so just lots of costumes.......

It's not like we need more stupid ass mask that a large part of us never us or the only ones that do are just flipping tryhards that we kill.

We already know everything that's coming this year for Halloween but I do hope they do more events like this in future, different ones even.

In which topic is it?

[Spider-Vice]

Errr it's been posted in a couple different places as it was found but we're getting the Alien Invasion again with a few extras - photo collectibles to send to Omega, clothing, etc. You can also be abducted this time. There will also be Jack O'Lantern collectibles (which give you Tricks or Treats) and an adversary mode I believe.

This f*ckin guy dont want me to discuss sh*t.  lmao  Thanks for contributing to the thread oh wait...  This is info you're not even suppose to have.  You only know because you guys dig in the files.  OK but no need to come here and spoil the surprise for everyone.  smh

I would like to see a variation of the UFO / killer car event they did last year (I never actually ever saw the killer clowns) - perhaps a randomly spawned UFO killing off aircraft and a swarm of alien NPCs going crazy on the ground...?  Instead of "Christine" they could use a truck or other vehicles influenced by the film "Maximum Overdrive"

But you have been here for a long time have you? It's common knowledge that people dig in the files the moment the update drops (sometimes a few hours before it does lol).

 

"Spoilers" are almost impossible to avoid in these forums, it's just a thing you gotta accept lol

[ACR]

Halloween events are cringy to me, i just want those technoskull unreleased masks, but i have a hunch they will either remain unreleased or they gonna peddle them as gta+ exclusives and even then only few of them will be released and the rest would be forgotten.

I want all apocalypse arena wars vehicles patrol the map chasing you down so kinda like maximum overdrive in a way. I do know that the Cerberus is joining Christine this year according to wildbrick

Headless horseman riding around on the Sanctum throwing pumpkins at me.

[El Cavilldo]

Devils Night! 

 

 

Mild riots on the City, NPC's being overly aggresive for no reason, random buildings on flames. Gangs using molotovs too. Cops chasing you If you're wearing any kind of mask; everything beyond eyeglasses gets you 2 stars near Cops. Halloween decorations at least as extensive than the Holiday's. 

 

 

A Special Event with groups of marauding NPC's with halloween masks armed with melee weapons with very big health stats, choosing a player randomly to hunt. 

And as collectables...
