GTA ONLINE WEEKLY UPDATE: OCTOBER 1 – OCTOBER 8, 2026
Updated October 2, 2026 · Fan-maintained — not affiliated with Rockstar Games
This week in GTA Online, the Halloween season kicks off with Slashers roaming the streets, paranormal visions of deceased tech CEOs, and the return of Halloween Featured Series and Survivals, including the Ludendorff Cemetery Survival. The biggest earners are the 3X GTA$ and RP activities, and the Bail Office challenge pays GTA$100,000 plus the Green Vintage Skull Mask. Start with those, then grab the free Cheerleader Massacre 3 T-Shirt before October 7.
What to prioritize
Prioritize the 3X GTA$ and RP Halloween Survivals, especially the Ludendorff Cemetery Survival, and the Halloween Featured Series with Slasher and Ramius Slasher. Then complete the Bail Office challenge by securing two Bail Office Bounties for the Green Vintage Skull Mask and GTA$100,000. After that, visit Premium Deluxe Motorsport for discounted returning vehicles and claim the free Cheerleader Massacre 3 T-Shirt from any clothing store before October 7.
