The GTA Online weekly update for October 12-19, 2023, is here and the Halloween events are continuing apace in Grand Theft Auto 5’s online mode. With a Witch mask, Vampire mask, and Werewolf mask available as free gifts and several new horror-themed events going live to celebrate the spooky season, there’s plenty of reasons to jump into GTA Online this week – including a Ghostbuster-inspired car and a familiar GTA protagonist somehow returning from beyond the grave.
This week in GTA Online, the UFO sightseeing event is back, along with the phantom car event. There’s plenty of spooky goings-on in the multiplayer game side of GTA 5, which should be more than enough to keep your mind off worrying about when we’ll hear about the GTA 6 release date at least.
There’s a new car in town – the Albany Brigham is now available in GTA Online. This four-door, Cadillac-style sedan bears a rather striking resemblance to the Ecto-1 seen in the Ghostbusters movies, something which is only further increased should you snatch up the free ‘Ghosts Exposed’ livery. It even comes with the iconic ‘growling cat’ horn heard on the Ectomobile, though you’ll be stumping up a hefty $1,499,000 to pick one up.
To do that, you’ll need to track down an old face from Grand Theft Auto’s past – note that GTA 5 spoilers are ahead (it’s a decade old now, but you never know). One of the most underrated protagonists from the series’ history, biker Johnny Klebitz was given an unceremonious end at the hands of GTA 5’s own Trevor Philips. It was a striking introduction to the chaotic newcomer, but always felt like a sour note for a character who deserved better.
Nevertheless, you’ll actually be able to find the ghost of Johnny at certain locations this week in GTA Online. Take a photograph of all ten ghosts and you’ll net yourself a cool $250,000 in-game cash, along with 5,000 RP and the Ghosts Exposed livery.
The GTA Online podium car for the week is the Karin Futo GTX, a Rockstar spin on the real-world Toyota Sprinter Trueno liftback. Get lucky at the Diamond Casino’s prize wheel, and you’ll save the $1,590,000 asking price. Place top four in an LS Car Meet race for two days running, meanwhile, to grab the Annis Hellion off-roader, this week’s GTA Online prize ride, without splashing on the $835,000 price tag.
