GTA Online Players Are Bringing Back the Alien War

Grand Theft Auto Online still has an active and vibrant fan community that has seen more than a few bizarre events come to the city of Los Santos. However, some events prove to be more memorable than others--to the point that fans may decide to recreate their favorite in-game events. Now, some Grand Theft Auto Online players are bringing back the fan-created «alien war» event from 2020.

Back in 2020, gangs of Grand Theft Auto Online players dressed up in alien costumes and began beating each other up with baseball bats. The gangs would drive around in vans and attack other players in an impromptu event held by other players rather than the developers. Eventually, the event culminated in a massive battle between the green and purple aliens, after which the alien war came to a close.

Now, some Redditors are bringing out the old alien costumes and getting ready to restart the alien war. Redditor hannibalxyz shared a story of a recent adventure with a group of purple aliens, complete with a screenshot. Apparently, they met some purple aliens--who promptly beat them up--and then the whole group drove around and beat up other players. Hannibalxyz stated that it felt like a blast from the past, and they enjoyed themselves immensely.

Another Redditor, itsryanchump, created a graphic to announce the alien war 2.0 event--not to be confused with Grand Theft Auto Online's Halloween alien invasion event. The graphic features three costumed green aliens and three costumed purple aliens on each side of the Grand Theft Auto Online map. In between the two sides, the word «GTA Alien War» are shown in theGrand Theft Auto title font. A sticky comment from a mod
