After trying for so long to solve the alien mysteries at the heart of Mt. Chiliad in GTA 5, one group of players has finally made contact with alien life. It looks like Rockstar are gearing up for a big reveal, but this group of easter egg hunters weren’t going to wait around.
A group that call themselves the Gurus have been digging through the game files and found some references to alien craft. The references were tied to the recent Gunrunning update, and they could see the process for triggering an event buried in the code.
The only thing holding it back was that the GTA Online world-state needed to be set at a specific frequency, and Rockstar clearly wasn’t ready. So they came up with a tool and did it themselves.
They kept experimenting and running missions until, finally, one took the player to the location in the code - the location of the crashed alien ship. Arriving triggered a mission to collect alien eggs, though the mission is clearly not fully developed yet.
If this sounds like something you want to do, get ready for a grind. Hey, nobody said contacting aliens was going to be easy.
As you probably guessed, with the alien mission being triggered through Gunrunning, it has something to do with your arms dealing business in GTA Online.
The actual mission is a bit underwhelming. Players are told to head to a location and steal some supplies—that’s where the alien egg comes in. When they arrive, they find a large UFO crashed in the swamp and dead scientists and soldiers. Once players have the alien egg, a small group of extraterrestrials spawns in and the player has to kill them. As missions go, it’s not incredibly exciting or different. But after years of searching it’s cool to finally see the theorizing and hard work materialize into something concrete.
While some players are happy that aliens were found, others are disappointed. Many mystery hunters wanted a big single-player easter egg or reward that could justify years of searching. Some are actually hopeful this new alien mission is just the start of something bigger, perhaps eventually involving the long sought-after jetpack.
For now, at least the citizens of Los Santos know they aren’t alone in the universe. And that these alien beings aren’t bulletproof.
You need to complete 601 Gunrunning sales, then start a Supply Run between 21:00 and 23:00 hours. This should trigger the mission with the crashed saucer. Don't die, though, as the mission can only be triggered once and then it's gone forever.Got a burning question you want answered?
