Jack O’ Lanterns (Trick or Treat) in GTA Online

Collecting Jack O’ Lanterns is a seasonal activity in GTA Online during Halloween. It was added in October 2022 and becomes available only during select weeks: • 42/2022 • 43/2022 • 44/2022 • 44/2023 • 44/2024 • 45/2024 • 38/2025 • 39/2025 • 40/2025 • 41/2025 • 42/2025 •

General Information

There are 200 Jack O’ Lanterns to collect in total. They count as Daily Collectibles, meaning the counter resets every day (at 6 AM UTC — Google this time to find out what it is in your local timezone). Although only 10 are shown in the interaction menu, you can keep collecting until you’ve found all of them. There’s no distinct sound cue when you’re near one, but if you’re playing with a controller, it will vibrate to indicate proximity. To pick up a Jack O’ Lantern, press E on PC or Right D-Pad on consoles.

Trick or Treat

Each time you collect a Jack O’ Lantern, you’ll receive either a Treat or a Trick, chosen at random.

Tricks:

• Stoned (player is stoned for 20 seconds);
• Shock (similar to a Stun Gun hit — can be deadly at low health);
• Energy Pulse (like being hit by the Up-n-Atomizer — can be deadly at low health);
• Explosion (with 2-second delay; lethal, but can be avoided by entering Passive Mode beforehand).

Treats:

• Snacks (P’s & Q’s — 7 pcs, EgoChaser — 3 pcs, eCola — 2 pcs, Sprunk — 2 pcs, Meteorite — 1 pc);
• Health and Armor (full refill);
• Money (any amount between GTA$ 2,500 and GTA $5,000, in increments of 250);
• Reputation (1,000 RP each);
• Peyote Plants (effect lasts up to 2 minutes unless canceled or the player dies earlier).

Rewards

In addition to Tricks and Treats, players can earn special rewards:

• GTA$ 50,000 and Horror Pumpkin Mask (Monsters) — for collecting 10 Jack O’ Lanterns in one day;
• GTA$ 50,000 and a Pumpkin Tee (Special Tops → Trick or Treat) — for collecting all 200 Jack O’ Lanterns in one day.

The mask has some unique features. It emits creepy laughter when you enable Mask Audio via Interaction Menu → Style → Action. Once enabled, press the Action key (Caps Lock on PC, or the equivalent button on consoles) to trigger it. The mask’s lenses add an orange tint when switching to first-person view.

Where to Find the Jack O’ Lanterns

As expected, Jack O’ Lanterns can be found in front of houses. They are scattered across residential neighborhoods — especially in areas like East and South Los Santos, Vespucci, and Vinewood Hills. You can easily find 10 or more in these areas to earn the first reward. However, collecting all 200 will take a lot of time, a map, and screenshots or videos for guidance.
