UFO Event Status in 2026
RockstarINTEL reports that as of October 23, 2026, the annual UFO event has not appeared in GTA Online, but the publisher has launched a special Event Week that makes two previously limited‑time rewards available to all players. This development comes less than a month before the anticipated release of Grand Theft Auto VI.
Obtaining the Shocker Melee Weapon
According to RockstarINTEL, the Shocker melee weapon, which was originally introduced as a reward during the 2024 UFO event, can be obtained for free from the Gun Van, and the vendor's inventory rotates daily, requiring players to check the map for its current location.
Gray Space Interloper Outfit and Speculation
RockstarINTEL also states that the Gray Space Interloper outfit, earned last year by escaping the Fort Zancudo bunker, is available this week by completing all waves of a Survival challenge, which also grants a GTA$150,000 bonus. Additionally, the outlet notes that fans are speculating about the possible return of Halloween weather, though this remains unconfirmed.
