While the excitement of the New Year is experienced all over the world, the games of course organize various events to share this excitement. While games such as Fortnite and Overwatch 2 made special events for the holidays directly, GTA Online added a new character to the game.
Rockstar named his character The Gooch, clearly inspired by the iconic character The Grinch. If you are wandering the streets of Los Santos during New Year’s Eve, it is useful to be alert at all times. On the other hand, those who can overcome The Gooch can have a lot of fun with other players.
How to meet The Gooch
Dressed as a scruffy Santa, The Gooch also wears a colorful baboon mask. If there are at least two people on the game server, you need to be in an open area and not doing a task at the moment in order to encounter The Gooch that appears. Coming with a green smoke, The Gooch attacks you and knocks you down and steals some of your “snacks” that you use to fill your life in the game with some coins.
Then, while you come to yourself, The Gooch starts to run away as fast as he can. The Gooch isn’t very agile but has enough stamina to run like a real lungless. Also, he’s not an easily knocked-down character.
If you can topple The Gooch, of course you can do justice to being in the GTA and beat him up with a car. Afterwards, he drops everything he stole from you in the form of gift wrapping. In fact, this package includes an extra 25 thousand GTA dollars and The Gooch mask.
Afterwards, players can scare other players by wearing this mask. This character is quite entertaining encounter obviously added to the game for Christmas. While Rockstar has not yet announced how long this character will stay in the game, walking around the game while you have the opportunity will increase your chances of encountering The Gooch.
