The new GTA Online update Lowest bounties was just released and includes content for a special zombie mode. Hidden in the game files, community members were able to find and access parts of the Halloween event that will take place later this year.
Last year’s Halloween event was also partially spoiled, as it was also included in this year’s Summer Update. Below you’ll find spoilers for the upcoming Halloween event in GTA Online, so if you want to know more about it, read on…
Location and mode
According to the files, this special zombie mode will take place in North Yankton, the setting of the GTA V story intro. That’s right, we’ll be playing in North Yankton and not sunny San Andreas.
It also looks like this new zombie mode will be something of a survival job. The name is said to be Ludendorff Cemetery Survival, as it takes place in the cemetery featured in GTA V’s story mode. Image via @Floorball__.
Overcome wave after wave of the undead in this brutal battle to keep at least one foot out of the grave.
Rockstar Games has since confirmed that North Yankton and the Cemetery are coming to GTA Online in some form. In their recent newswire post, they wrote, “And look forward to even more explosive gameplay and events, including Independence Day and a Halloween trip to the Ludendorff Cemetery in North Yankton,” confirming this upcoming content.
Twitter user @Hubfex posted strings from the files related to this survival mode:
- Survival of the Ludendorff Cemetery
- Survive 7 waves in Ludendorff Cemetery Survival.
- Defeat every type of undead in Ludendorff Cemetery Survival.
- Survive 15 waves in Ludendorff Cemetery Survival.
- Enter ~a~~s~ to join Ludendorff Cemetery Survival, or log in to stay in free mode until the mission starts.
Zombie
Below are two of three zombie character models for the Halloween event. These were posted by @Lucas7yoshi_RS. On the right we see a traditional looking zombie in a coat perfect for North Yankton conditions. The one on the left looks very different than you would expect.
Thanks to @Lucas7yoshi_RS we actually have a video of one of the zombies in action. You can check out the full video of the zombie performing various animations in his tweet here.
Animal Audio
A number of new Halloween-themed audio files have been added in the latest GTA Online update. The files were found by @billsyliamgta. These sound effects are for animals such as wolves.
Props for Creator Mode
Creator Mode will also be getting new props for Halloween, similar to last year. Some of the Deathmatch props have been added to the Summer Update game files. Below is an image of them that @nkzGTA found. These include a zombie staff and a grave. There are also two ghost models: NYSP Officer and Dom. Although nkz lists them as Creator props, they might be part of the Ghost Hunt event rather than Creator Mode.
Are you excited for Halloween in GTA Online this year? The last few Halloween events have been pretty big when it comes to GTA Online, like UFOs and ghost hunting. We can’t wait to see how Rockstar Games pulls it all off.
