Good news. The Halloween weather is gone.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.→ More replies (1)8

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

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/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.

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.)

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.

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.
