Slashers, Phantom Car, and More – Here’s How to Trigger Each Spooky Encounter
Summary
– Rockstar has extended Halloween events until next Thursday.
– Slashers, Phantom Car, and Cerberus Tanker events can now be played in solo sessions.
– Find out how to maximize your chances of spawning each event.
Rockstar Games has given fans one last week to enjoy Halloween-themed events in GTA V. Even though Halloween officially ended, these special encounters will remain active until next Thursday. From Slashers lurking in the dark to the infamous Phantom Car, here’s how to make the most of your extra time.
Slashers Event Details
The Slashers event includes a clown, psycho, driver, sack slasher, and even a clone of yourself. They roam the night, waiting to strike between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Players should stick to regular vehicles to spawn them and avoid using weaponized or special ones. The best part? You can now experience this event in a solo invite-only session, making it easier than ever to encounter these terrifying NPCs.
Phantom Car Guide
The Phantom Car appears during the same nighttime hours but requires at least two players in a session. Avoid amphibious or weaponized vehicles to increase your chances. Players frustrated with crowded public lobbies can try the solo public lobby glitch to get an empty session, making it more likely for the Phantom Car to haunt them.
Cerberus Tanker and Possessed Animals
Based on a classic Spielberg film, the Cerberus Tanker is triggered by delivering an exotic export vehicle. Only certain spots activate the event, so pay attention to the map for blue dots. As for possessed animals, players have reported encounters with everything from pugs to mountain lions. These animals transform into attackers with a burst of red smoke, and you don’t need other players in your session for them to spawn.
Ghost Hunt and Jack-o-Lantern Challenges
GTA V’s Ghost Hunt event has players tracking down and photographing ten ghosts scattered throughout Los Santos. Completing this challenge unlocks the Ghost Exposed outfit. Meanwhile, the Jack-o-Lantern collectible offers two rewards: a pumpkin mask for finding ten and a pumpkin tee for gathering all 200 in one day. Be warned, though—the collectible count resets daily.
These events are a perfect way to wrap up Halloween week in style. Make sure to grab those exclusive rewards before time runs out!
