The tropical drug paradise of Cayo Perico has taken a bizarre turn in Grand Theft Auto Online's latest update. The island known for its high-stakes heists is now crawling with the undead, turning what was already a dangerous destination into something far more chaotic.
The new Cayo Perico Survival mode throws players into waves of zombie combat against some truly strange enemies. You'll face off against undead conquistadors wielding muskets, zombie animal trainers still commanding their wild pets, and creatures called Splitters that presumably do exactly what their name suggests. The goal is to fight through the hordes and reach the airstrip where an evacuation plane waits.
This week's event runs through September 10 and doubles the usual cash and experience rewards, as is expected. GTA+ subscribers get even better payouts at four times the normal rate. Players can jump into the action through their in-game phone or by finding the palm tree marker at Terminal.
Rockstar Games guarantees that everyone who attempts the survival mode will receive an "I Survived Cayo Perico" t-shirt within 72 hours, regardless of performance. More dedicated players who complete all ten waves can earn a Buccaneer Outfit and 100,000 GTA$. There's also a Panther Tour Jacket available just for logging in during the event period.
