The GTA Online week that started Thursday, October 15, 2026 is the third week of the Halloween event, and it runs until the reset on Thursday, October 22. Triple payouts are back on the spooky modes, The Contract finale pays a big one-off bonus, and Agencies are 40% off. Here is everything active this week and what to do first.
Quick summary: October 15 to 21, 2026
- Biggest one-time bonus: GTA$500,000 extra for completing Don’t F*** With Dre, paid within 72 hours.
- Weekly Challenge: win three races for GTA$100,000 and the Orange Glow Skeleton Onesie.

- Top discount: 40% off Agency properties, upgrades and modifications.
- Podium car: Grotti LSCM Cheetah Classic.
What to do first this week
If you already own an Agency, start with Don’t F*** With Dre. That’s the last mission of The Contract, and this week it pays an extra GTA$500,000 on top of the normal payout. Rockstar says the bonus lands within 72 hours of finishing, so don’t panic if it isn’t in your account the moment the credits roll.
Next, knock out the Weekly Challenge. Three race wins gets you GTA$100,000 and the Orange Glow Skeleton Onesie. It also counts toward October’s GTA$2,000,000 reward for completing every Weekly Challenge through November 4. If you skipped either of the first two October challenges, don’t count on that final payout.
After that, pick the 3X activity you actually enjoy. Survivals are the steadiest earner for most players this week, and GTA+ members get 6X on them.
Triple GTA$ and RP (3X)
- Halloween Featured Series: Slasher and Ramius – Slasher
- Halloween Survivals: Ludendorff Cemetery, Cayo Perico and the Alien Survivals (6X for GTA+ members)
- San Andreas Super Sport Series: including Hotring Races and Random Transform Races
- Community Race Series
The Super Sport and Community Race series pair nicely with the Weekly Challenge. Every race you win there counts toward your three wins while paying triple.
Double rewards (2X)
- The Brute Force File, this week’s FIB Priority File: 2X GTA$ and RP
- Bail Office Standard and Most Wanted targets: 2X GTA$ and RP
- Dispatch Work: 2X GTA$ and RP
- UFO Business Battles: 2X GTA$ and RP
- Jack O’Lanterns: 2X GTA$ and RP (4X for GTA+)
- Ghosts Exposed: 2X GTA$ (4X for GTA+)
If you haven’t finished this year’s Ghosts Exposed photos, now is the week to do it. The double cash makes the full set worth a lot more than usual for a few minutes of driving around at night.

Kortz Center Heist this week
The first-completion bonus has reset with the new week, so your first run pays the higher amount again. This week’s primary targets are Twindifference, Teckels and A Cast of Characters. Finish without dying and you get another GTA$400,000 on top. You need the Mansion and Art Studio to run it, so this one is for players who already own them.

The Agency discount is the one most worth thinking about. It earns money on its own through Security Contracts and payphone hits, and it’s your way into The Contract and that GTA$500,000 bonus. Check the in-game price before you buy, since GTA+ and platform offers can change what you see.
