The Halloween season is a time for spooks and treats, and Rockstar Games doesn't want to be left behind in celebrating this festive period. In GTA Online, they've introduced the Phantom Car as a part of their Halloween-themed events. This is not a new addition; it originally debuted in 2021 during the Los Santos Tuners update. However, its return for this year's Halloween season has many fans excited. This article aims to give you a detailed guide on everything there is to know about this unique vehicle event. Special Features: Understanding the Unique Attributes of the Phantom Car The Phantom Car isn't just any car. It's a special variant of the Declasse Tornado Custom, a 2-seater lowrider based on the real-life 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air. This particular edition of the vehicle comes with various visual enhancements that set it apart. The Garnet Red paint job accompanied by a Graphite roof makes it visually striking. Its OG Hunnet wheels and Whitewall tires add to its allure, along with its EAB 211 license plate. But perhaps the most captivating feature is its custom flame effects and sounds, as well as a unique detuned horn. What's more fascinating is the invisible NPC (non-player character) that appears to be driving this car, giving the impression that the car operates by itself. Event Triggers: How to Spawn the Phantom Car in the Game To witness the Phantom Car and interact with it, specific conditions must be met. You must have a minimum of two players in any free-roam session. At least 16 minutes should have passed since joining the online session. Also, you must either be on foot or in a normal vehicle for the event to be triggered. When these conditions are met, the Phantom Car appears and attempts to eliminate the players. It's important to note that the Phantom Car event will not be triggered if players are in special cars, weaponized vehicles, planes, or boats. Behavior and Interactions: What to Expect from the Phantom Car The Phantom Car's behavior varies depending on the situation. If players are inside a vehicle, it will remain passive but follow them. Once they step out, it turns aggressive, its hood catches fire, and its headlights turn red. This special vehicle will not only try to ram into players but also its flames are dangerous and can be lethal. However, the GTA Online community has found that explosive weapons seem to have a significant impact on this virtually indestructible vehicle. How to End the Event: Conditions for Event Termination The Phantom Car event can only be concluded under one of three conditions: If players successfully defeat the Phantom Car. If the Phantom Car succeeds in killing the players. If the Phantom Car gets stuck for an extended period or players enter properties like LS Customs. Final Thoughts The GTA Online Phantom Car event is an intriguing addition to the gaming experience. Its unique features and dynamic behavior offer both challenges and entertainment to players. As Rockstar continues to add layers to its popular online universe, events like this continue to enrich the player experience and keep the community engaged. Also Read:
