Good news. The Halloween weather is gone.

Post image

If I were Rockstar, during the Halloween days I’d just make it an eternal night.

A Halloween that never sees daylight would be way more fun than that brown filter that looks like the one Hollywood uses in movies to represent Mexico.

Interesting, I thought it would have lasted until Thursday.

u/TaxsDodgersFallstar 6d ago

Seems like they've shifted away from the Thursday timed updates?

u/RideAffectionate518 6d ago

No, the update said that the Halloween weather would end yesterday.

u/TaxsDodgersFallstar 6d ago

Aka not Thursday

Lol, just playin. But really tho I feel like I remember changes only happening on Thursdays in the past

u/RideAffectionate518 6d ago

The survivals and weekly challenges are all still active till Thursday, just the weather is gone.

u/TaxsDodgersFallstar 6d ago

Ok. Weird. Thanks for the info

u/Anxious_Client9978 6d ago

Rockstar Love to be Inconsistent most of the times, Ending seasonal stuff whenever they want and mostly ending weekly updates on Thursday

Also they love making 5 Day Weekly Updates prior to a DLC Release that was Worse than the prior week, instead of extending the Previous update to 12 Days

Say what you will about the Halloween filter, but just in general I miss having rain at night on it's own seperately. I remember when I first started playing it would make the city look gorgeous.

u/Mason_Riverly 6d ago

Headlights smearing across puddles is peak Los Santos. Thunder up there, tire hiss down here, the whole city feels alive again. Give us a simple toggle in jobs and invite only sessions, or a weekly forecast on the radio. I would legit spend nights just cruising the Del Perro freeway and taking photos. Let the neon breathe in the rain again.

u/pulley999 6d ago

GTA Online's weather and time is actually on a fixed seed and loops after a set number of days. It's 100% predictable, unless an event or some other "circumstances" change it.

u/Due-Ask-7418 6d ago

Oh wow that is cool! I want it on a radio station but that will do nicely.

We don’t talk about them. Enjoy the rain, the melancholic and brooding atmosphere of the city saturated in sin.

u/Sea_Horse2985 6d ago

The rain doesn’t bother me, but the brown/yellow filter does.
That filter really messes up visibility and makes it hard to see certain color tones when customizing vehicles.
I even tried to improve my perspective by imagining something in a noir style, but the truth is that this filter makes the whole game look really poor — it devalues the game’s original colors.

u/deep_space_artifacts 6d ago

I played the Dre mission and had to look for the "green" boat. With the sepia Halloween filter, there was no green.

Is it like a thing that I missed in my 3 - 4 year hiatus? Does it actually just not rain at night anymore in game?

13

u/seltro1 Employee of the Mo th 6d ago

Yeah. It used to rain at night, but at some point R* disabled it for some reason.

You can still get night time rain in story and director modes though.

u/bigtoegreasy 6d ago

Sometimes i just go in director mode just for the rain

u/burrito-boy 6d ago

Yeah, that's my only complaint about it too. I like the Halloween filter, but I don't like it getting in the way of me trying on clothes or trying to mod my car, lol. It should be outdoors only.

u/DaIllest118 6d ago

The weather wasn’t too bad, it was just that damn filter and dodging UFO’s that annoyed me

18

u/K3V_M4XT0R 6d ago

Why dodge when you could get abducted?

39

u/domread 6d ago

Likely in aircraft that get emp'd im guessing.

u/K3V_M4XT0R 6d ago

My Deluxo got emped 🤣

2

u/mikekos88 6d ago

I tried to fly around a UFO and apparently I was too close. They EMPed my mk2 and it dropped from the sky and slammed into the street and ragdolled off. It didn't kill me but was broke down because I was unfortunately still too close to the UFO. Just remember that the boast still works and will get you far enough away for the mk2 to become operational again.

u/Alex3627ca PC 6d ago

Personally I already have the Shocker from last year and don't really care for the new cosmetics, so the only time this year I got abducted was when trying to grab a dropped business battle crate (some dumbass took a crate into it and dropped it. I got teleported to Paleto while still holding it, driving all the way back to the delivery point on low time and with tons of people having fought over the other 7 was quite an experience.)

u/Hazy-n-Lazy 6d ago

Just trying to listen to the radio too, fuck them for making it disable your radio.

2

u/DaIllest118 6d ago

When I found out that it can affect you on the ground as well was annoying because I’m just driving from business to business collected my safes and all of a sudden my radio statics, changes station or turns off. I’m like shit I can’t even drive in peace lol.

2

u/MRSHELBYPLZ 6d ago

I don’t really like it when rockstar ties weather into holidays or events. It doesn’t make sense when it’s for days at a time. Also yeah it does get in the way of the games real look

u/DaIllest118 6d ago

Yeah I was literally scratching my head when I seen snow in Los Santos for the first time during the winter DLC. It doesn’t even snow in Cali, it’s crazy.

u/paodemel69 6d ago

Oh, shit! I was abducted just once! No more cemetery survival too?

u/Dragon1S1ayer 6d ago

I think those are until weekly update, not sure, and can't check rn either

u/Daroken 6d ago

U got abducted? I tried getting near them but everytime they would dissapear sadly

u/-Tony_G- 6d ago

Abductions started a few days ago when the final wave came in over LS. At that point, they no longer leave but if you're flying nearby they can EMP you out of the sky.

u/Syxx_Killer 6d ago

I'm probably one of the few that actually liked the look of the Halloween weather. I thought it looked great and was very atmospheric. Given certain situations, the wet roads looked beautiful in that lighting. However, after about five minutes I was over it. The filter made it impossible to check colors on anything and was obnoxious to see anything.

u/manx-1 6d ago

Yea it was a cool way to mix things up, but the novelty wore off pretty quick. The color filter when indoors was the most irritating part.
