During the Halloween season in GTA Online, players can experience a rare and mysterious UFO abduction event that leads to a hidden underground mission beneath Fort Zancudo. Completing this sequence rewards exclusive items — The Shocker melee weapon and the Gray Space Interloper outfit. Below is a complete, easy-to-follow guide on how to trigger and finish this event successfully. Players who want to prepare faster for events like this often buy GTA 5 money to afford better weapons, vehicles, and equipment before heading into Fort Zancudo.
1. Requirements Before Abduction
To participate, players must not be a leader of any organization (for example, a Motorcycle Club or CEO). Only “regular” players without active leadership status are eligible to be abducted by the UFOs.
2. Getting Abducted by a UFO
UFOs can be found hovering above Southern San Andreas during specific in-game hours, typically from 10:00 PM to 4:00 AM. During Halloween events (October 30–November 3), the active window extends from 7:30 PM to 6:30 AM.
Approach one of the UFOs and walk directly into its beam to trigger the abduction sequence.
There’s roughly a 50% chance that the abduction will transport the player to a secret bunker beneath Fort Zancudo. If the player wakes up somewhere else, simply retry until the correct event occurs.
3. Inside the Secret Bunker
After awakening in first-person view on a medical bed, get up and begin exploring. Quickly locate a cabinet containing a crowbar — this is your essential tool for the mission.
Keep in mind: there is a 10-minute timer to complete all objectives inside the bunker.
4. Finding the Reward Crate
Exit the initial room and enter the first door on the left along the corridor. Inside, look for green military crates and a single wooden crate. Use the crowbar to pry open the wooden crate.
Inside, you’ll find the melee weapon “The Shocker” (a futuristic stun baton) and the Gray Space Interloper Outfit. In most cases, you’ll also receive cash and RP rewards (for example, $25,000 and 1,000 RP).
5. Solving the Lever Puzzle
Continue down the corridor until reaching a wall with four levers, each marked by a unique glowing symbol:
- Circle with a waveform
- DNA helix
- Maze-pattern circles
- Small circles connected by lines
The correct order to pull these levers is determined by counting how many instances of each symbol appear throughout various rooms in the bunker.
Key locations to check:
- Medical room (spawn area): Count monitors displaying the waveform symbol.
- Weapons room: Count the number of weapons on stands for the DNA helix symbol.
- Crate room: Note symbols related to the maze pattern.
- Laptop or window room: Check for the small circles symbol.
Pull the levers in the order corresponding to these counts. A green light indicates a correct pull; a red light signals an error. Three failed attempts will flood the bunker with gas, ending the run.
6. Escaping the Bunker
Once the levers are pulled in the correct sequence, the elevator doors will open. Enter the elevator to surface and escape.
Upon exiting, the player will appear on the surface at Fort Zancudo with a four-star wanted level but will retain both rewards — The Shocker and the Gray Space Interloper Outfit.
The UFO abduction event in GTA Online offers a rare and thrilling experience, blending mystery, exploration, and puzzle-solving. Completing the hidden mission beneath Fort Zancudo not only rewards players with the exclusive Shocker melee weapon and Gray Space Interloper outfit but also adds a unique chapter to the game’s evolving Halloween lore.
Prepare wisely, stay alert during UFO hours, and embrace the unknown — the truth is out there in San Andreas.
