Dataminers have unearthed exciting new details about GTA Online's upcoming Halloween event , revealing a brand-new zombie survival mode set on the tropical island of Cayo Perico . The mode was discovered in the files of the recent “Money Fronts” update and appears to be Rockstar’s most ambitious Halloween content to date. From new enemy types to multiple map stages, this leak has fans buzzing.
Zombie mode leak teases multi-stage survival chaos on Cayo Perico
According to reliable dataminer @Lucas7yoshi_RS, this new event will take place entirely on Cayo Perico, first introduced in GTA Online’s 2020 heist update. The leaked zombie mode features a multi-stage format starting at the heavily guarded compound. Players must fight through waves of undead, moving from one location to another including the Main Dock, West Beach, and North Dock.
Four new enemy types are expected, with names like “The Splitter” and “The Conquistador”, the latter being a skeletal zombie that is said to be immune to bullets and explosives. The final section of the survival mode features an undead version of Gustavo, the panther trainer, who summons zombie panthers to protect the North Dock.
Once players clear all stages, they’ll have the option to either escape via the Velum aircraft or stay behind and take on endless waves of zombies at one of four key locations.
New NPCs, props, and escape options discovered in update files
Dataminer @evan_tgp also uncovered a variety of props and assets tied to the event, including damaged vehicles and eerie environmental elements scattered across the island. Five distinct zombie models were revealed, featuring infected festival goers, island locals, and more. A zombie DJ was also found in the files, sparking speculation that Rockstar may incorporate some light-hearted or humorous elements during the chaos.
This isn’t Rockstar’s first foray into spooky seasonal content, last year’s North Yankton Halloween event was a hit, but the scale and structure of this new mode suggest a major leap in ambition. The combination of fresh mechanics, detailed enemy design, and an iconic location could make it the most memorable Halloween event yet.
If the leaks are accurate, GTA Online’s 2025 Halloween event is shaping up to be something truly special. A full-on zombie invasion on Cayo Perico with boss fights, endless waves, and immersive progression? Rockstar might just be delivering its wildest seasonal update so far.
