This mode is essentially a cooperative experience where participants must endure waves of progressively tougher adversaries. Those who reach Wave 3 will be rewarded with a Gray Creepy Cat Mask cosmetic item and GTA$100,000 in in-game currency.
Additionally, Rockstar has established a community challenge: if players can collectively defeat 80 million zombies across all sessions, everyone will be granted an Orange Glow Skeleton Onesie and a Red Hooded Skull Mask. This ambitious goal was surpassed within days, with over 200 million zombies eliminated by October 12th.
The stakes have been raised significantly: eliminate an astonishing 800 million undead, and all participants will be rewarded with a Purple Glow Skeleton Onesie and a Green Glow Skeleton Onesie. As of the latest update, players have achieved approximately fifty percent of this goal.
Although community-driven events of this nature are not unprecedented, they serve as a testament to the lasting appeal of GTA Online. Remarkably, nearly 3 million sessions have been initiated in the new mode since its launch late last week. This is an extraordinary achievement for an in-game event in a game that was originally released over ten years ago on the PS3.
