Halloween may be over, but as they say on The X-Files, the truth is out there in Grand Theft Auto Online. Alien abductions are still taking place in Los Santos, and you’re going want to be among the abductees if you’d like to get a cool weapon. But players are going to need to act fast, because these visitors from another world won’t be hanging around forever.
Rockstar Games announced the alien abduction for this year’s Halloween events, and it’s going on through November 6. That means the skies are still strange, and players who make it out alive can earn The Shocker, a non-lethal alien weapon that acts like a stun baton. The hard part, however, might be getting captured in the first place.
The first thing that you need to know is that the aliens only come out at night from 10 PM to 4 AM in the game world, and given GTA Online’s fast movement of time, this means that there’s only a 12-minute window to find a UFO ship and get under it. Another complication is that your vehicles will fail if they get too close to the UFOs, so plan accordingly.
