GTA Online Stoner Survival Explained

Where and How to Start Stoner Survival
Unlike standard activities, you won’t find this challenge in your phone’s mission list. To trigger the Stoner Survival, you must visit the Senora Desert Trailer Park specifically between 4:20 PM and 8:20 PM in-game time.
During this window, a unique weed-and-skull icon will appear on your map to tell you the event is live and to guide you to the exact location.
Once you arrive, simply interact with the blunt on the table to launch the seven-wave event. Just keep in mind that you cannot start the activity if you are currently registered as a CEO, VIP, or MC President, so be sure to retire or disband before heading there. You can tackle the challenge entirely solo or squad up with a team of four.
What is the Stoner Survival Event?
As the name suggests, Stoner Survival is a weed-themed spin on the classic survival mode. The activity consists of seven waves set across various locations, but with a unique twist: instead of standard enemies, you must battle through increasingly difficult hallucinations. Once you’ve cleared all the illusions in a wave, you’ll advance to the next round.
Tips for Surviving All 7 Waves
- Prioritize Melee: Take out the rushing clowns and chickens first to avoid being staggered or overwhelmed.
- Stay Mobile: Hallucinations spawn in unpredictable patterns, so avoid getting pinned down in one spot.
- Watch the Mini-Map: The visuals can be distracting; use your radar to pinpoint enemy locations accurately.
- High-ROF Weapons: Use the Combat MG or Assault Shotgun to quickly clear clusters of enemies.
- Squad Up: While soloable, having a team helps cover blind spots as the difficulty ramps up in later rounds.
- Try, Try Again: If you die you can always try again. The event continuously runs each in-game day.
Stoner Survival Event Rewards & Unlocks
Completing the Stoner Survival Event earns you a number of interesting rewards. From now until April 22nd the event pays out 4X GTA$ and RP. Additionally, completing five total waves earns you a nice GTA$420,000 bonus.
That’s not all. There are two special limited time Outfit rewards you can unlock.
- Complete five waves (total) to unlock the Sasquatch Outfit.
- Survive all seven waves (in a row) to unlock the High Life Outfit.
