the alien autopsy thing from gta online needs to happen again in gta 6

With Grand Theft Auto 6 on the way, it's down to the community to bring back the best (and stupidest) thing about GTA Online

GamesRadar just put out a piece saying it's time for an alien autopsy in GTA 6 and honestly I couldn't agree more. That whole saga in GTA Online was peak community chaos. For anyone who wasn't around, it started with a random egg prop hidden in a mission back in 2013 and spiralled into years of cryptic clues, UV maps, and thousands of players losing their minds over a frozen alien corpse in a bunker. It was the dumbest, most beautiful thing Rockstar ever let us do.

I remember watching streams at 3am of crews trying to decode the bunker lights. People were making spreadsheets, translating morse code, arguing about whether the weather had to be exactly right. And when someone finally cracked it, the whole lobby just stood around a dead alien taking selfies. No reward, no payout, just the satisfaction of being part of something that felt genuinely secret. That's the kind of weird energy I want in Leonida.

GTA 6 is already leaning into the bizarre with the swampy Grassrivers and those Mount Kalaga cult vibes from trailer 2. Imagine a multi-step mystery that uses the new map, maybe tied to the Leonida Keys or some abandoned theme park. The community would go absolutely feral for it. Rockstar doesn't even need to say anything, just drop a weird texture somewhere and let us spiral.

I know some people want more grounded crime stuff, and I get that. But the alien autopsy was proof that the best moments in these games come from the community losing its collective mind over something completely ridiculous. Half a decade later, I'm ready to do it all over again.

What's one weird GTA Online mystery or event you'd love to see Rockstar bring back for GTA 6?
