Games with healthy online communities often take on a fun, bizarre life of their own, as gamers play around in the vast sandboxes and try out new things. This is definitely the case with the hit sandbox romp that is Grand Theft Auto 5. These days, its online arena has somewhat taken on the vibe of a weird dystopian thriller.
This is thanks in part to the rise of green and purple alien morph suits more players are wearing in GTA Online. Here’s a little about their history and how to get hold of one of these zany bodysuits.
What Is The Alien Suit?
Alien bodysuits are just one among many outfits that can be used to decorate your online avatar. In this particular case, however, the spandex suit covers the entire body. Naturally, these outfits come in alien green, but there’s also a purple variant.
In early 2020, players began taking notice of this amusing outfit in GTA Online’s clothes store. A few began sporting the suits and acting as a sort of bizarre gang of anarchists, driving down city streets, beating pedestrians, and generally causing trouble.
Why Do People Want It?
Partaking in shenanigans in these outfits has become a sort of amusing new pastime in GTA Online. At the same time, it’s evolved into something of an online clique, strengthened through this growing form of tribal warfare.
Exposure through online videos and in-game interaction spurred its popularity. GTA Online increasingly became infiltrated by these strange aliens, who weren’t just terrorizing humankind, but also each other!
Soon, small bouts of griefing gave way to all-out alien turf wars between those who wore the green suits and those who opted for purple.
This trend continues to draw the attention of more and more GTA Online players looking to get in on the extra-terrestrial action and have fun wreaking havoc. More details involving the rise of these zany new alien factions can be found in Red Play’s video.
How To Get The Alien Suit
Here’s how to obtain your own alien bodysuit:
- Pay a visit to one of the many Clothes Stores scattered across the area. You can pinpoint them by seeking out the T-shirt icon on the map. Speak to the person manning the cash register, which will open up the menu needed to buy clothing and various other goodies. Navigate to Outfits → Arena War → Bodysuits from there. You’ll then find the Green and Purple Martian Bodysuit after scrolling near the bottom of the list. Simply complete the purchase, and voila! The alien gang initiation is complete.
While locating these alien suits is simple, the difficulty comes in actually being able to afford one. Yes, it seems these gangs come from rather wealthy backgrounds, as the asking price sits around a whopping $360,000.
A Shark Card can also be purchased for those who’d rather not spend the time accumulating that in-game wealth. A Bull Shark Cash Card would easily cover the expenses, as long as you’re willing to shell out $9.99 in real-life cash. This card offers $500,000 in GTA dollars. So you can snag the suit and still have a decent chunk of change left over.
The Alien Suit As A Prize
Alternatively, you can always wait it out, as there’s always a chance for some sort of discount or even freebie brought on by an event. In fact, such an event occurred for a week in May 2020, and it could always happen again.
Additionally, players can partake in Arena War missions to land prizes, and even an eventual discount on the alien garb when playing several Destruction Derbies.
