The city of Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto Online has seen its fair share of weird occurrences. Just last month, the streets of Los Santos were filled with in-game characters taking the hallucinatory drug, peyote, which turns players into a random animals. Now, a new danger has hit Los Santos in the form of dangerous alien gangs.
A wave of clips that have gone viral depict green aliens getting out of vans and beating players with baseball bats. Many wondered if these green aliens were just a group of friends deciding to mess with people on the server. However, the green aliens seemed to multiply, perhaps gaining members in order to take over Los Santos, or acquire a large sum of money for a big purchase. The green aliens' intentions remain unknown, but players in Grand Theft Auto Online do not just quit after being jumped by an alien gang.
As more and more players fell victim to the alien brutality, others decided to rise up and challenge the aliens. The green aliens gained notoriety overnight and were faced with a power struggle with a new rival: The purple aliens. As a response to the green alien destruction, clips of purple aliens attacking green aliens surfaced. The streets of Los Santos are being swarmed by purple and green vans and a hostile alien turf war has erupted.
This apparent war has gotten to the point where other factions are joining in as well. Players are recruiting others to be Los Santos' version of the FBI to investigate and take down aliens. Some players are even posing as rival gangs to infiltrate and attack them. It is not known how many players have joined each side, however, players can freely change their outfit, so it may get a little confusing. The alien war does not seem to be slowing down, and only time will tell which gang comes out on top.
Players in Grand Theft Auto: Online may have to look over their shoulders for alien gangs, but they can still enjoy the content that has been added. Players can participate in the new mission in Grand Theft Auto: Online, but be sure to make sure there are no aliens that will try to interfere. As players wait for more indication of Grand Theft Auto 6, the alien wars are sure to entertain many and frustrate the players who fall victim to the surprise attacks.
Grand Theft Auto: Online is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
