Alien costumes for GTA Online are now free.

One of the most ridiculous and therefore best things that has happened recently in GTA Online is the gang war that broke out between two factions of aliens. However, they are not really aliens, but humans in green or purple body suits, and instead of transporting their victims for anal investigation, they throw them in the back of a van, drive them out into the countryside, and beat the hell out of them.

This has actually been going on for a while now, and in a matter of weeks it has grown from a random bacchanal to something holistic that the community takes up and runs. Rockstar fanned the flames in early May by giving away $500,000 in-game cash to everyone who logged into the game that month. (The purple suit cost $330,000; the green was even more expensive at $358,000.)

But apparently that wasn't enough to keep things interesting enough, and Rockstar is trying to douse all that gasoline by making the suits completely free. Rockstar has not officially announced this giveaway, but several players have confirmed it on the GTA Online subreddit. (Update: Now it's official.)

And not only is the suit free, but according to Rockstar fan Tez2 on Twitter, the in-game Ammu-nation store is also giving away pool cues.

Or whatever you happen to have on hand.

I've contacted Rockstar about the Alien costume giveaway and will update when I hear back. In the meantime, enjoy these, courtesy of the GTA Online Subreddit.
