GTA Online alien suits are free this week, fuelling the green vs. purple warsAre you green or purple?

Are you green or purple?

Presumably for one week from today, the Green Martian Bodysuit and Purple Martian Bodysuit are both free to pick up from any clothes shop.Hit the cashier to see Outfits, then look under Outfits: Arena War then Bodysuits. They usually cost $358,000 each, which is far beyond ‘impulse purchase’ territory for many. If you lack commitment or just want to start trouble, you can get both the green and purple suits. You can also grab a free pool cue from a gun shop.

I haven’t played GTA Online since the weekend so I don’t know the recent state of the wars, but I did see several aliens lurking when I briefly hopped on. I assume it won’t take much effort to spark japes once everyone twigs that the suits are free right now. The novelty of alien gangs has been fading and the craze will inevitably die out, so it’s nice that everyone can have a go now.

Rockstar are also currently giving$500,000 in-game cashto all players who jack in during the month of May. I had thought that a handy opportunity to scoop an alien suit but not necessarily an endorsement, seeing as they do virtuacash giveaways fairly often. Now? Oh it’s on.

Disclosure: I have some pals at Rockstar. It has been surprising to meet more people in my regular life then discover OH YOU WORK THERE TOO? Edinburgh is a tiny city.
