GTA Online: The Holiday Hauler Event Pissed Me Off... (New Event Guide/Rant)

They should just have the first 2 presents give you the sweaters and after that just give ammo and money

That would be nice

It would be better if when it drops a present anyone can collect it within a certain time but even if someone else collects it another player can also collect it, kinda like the collectibles where anyone can get them regardless if someone else grabbed it

Occasionally I think it glitches and drops a present per each person following at random times. Other times its at the same time for every one and its whoever picks it up first. My only gripe about this event is sometimes gifts drop but don't show up yet leave a marker on the map, and other times get stuck midair and you cant reach them

There was a event during the PS3/Xbox360 days. Where u would have a circle appear on the map. An a timer counting down for the crate to be dropped. An by the time it had dropped, there was 6 players killing each other over it. Its what created mini wars back in the day. An they had MUCH more item's in that crate.

[@SharinganRebirth]

Those were the days. Everyone had to fight for it. This was before freemode events and business battles came along. I forgot what the shirts were when u won.

[@tommacdougall5131]

I got the Ecola one in an invite lobby with a friend. When he got off, I joined a public lobby with the truck already spawned and noticed a guy following it. I messaged him, letting him know that I wouldn’t attack him, and that we could alternate the presents. He was completely ok with it, and we did just that. Then another guy came up to it, and I messaged him the same text, and he was ok with it too. For those of you having a hassle with the event, sometimes texting the other players letting them know you’re friendly is enough to have a higher chance of earning the sweaters. It was the most wholesome experience I’ve ever had in GTAO. I completely agree that the one hour spawn time and having another player in the lobby is bullshit though. No reason why we can’t enjoy these events playing solo.

[@midnightstrider8579]

when the truck spawned in, me and my mate instantly tried to find ways to stop it, steal it, or force it into the ocean. that was the only fun we got from the christmas truck

[@Tundraviper41]

I once had a glitch or game confusion happen the other day. were the hauler had its trailer disconnected when a player pushed the truck with a nightshark to where the trailer detached, and the truck stopped and then started driving around erratically without its trailer, and the trailer began spawning all over the place up and down the road for about a mile in matter of seconds by fort Zancudo trying to re-spawn in a favorable position creating small festive explosions when it spawns each time. The Truck eventually de-spawned along with the trailer then re-spawned connected together. it was funny watching it go down.

For those having problem with this i have a tip for this one. It works for pc but i dont know about the consoles. U just need to lobby hop until u find a lobby with a hauler already driving around. Than just use the solo open lobby glitch with the task manager to get disconnected from all the other players in the lobby but still being in the lobby. Now u are in a solo lobby with the hauler driving around and u just have to collect the presents without having to fight off anyone. I got my second sweater this way

[@corvorider2144]

This reminds me of my struggles to make the Die Hard event spawn and get the WM29 pistol. Back in 2022 I wasn't around GTA during Christmas and I was pretty pissed when I lost the chance to get the gun. So basically I've waited a whole year for the event to come back, and a whole day just to make it appear in a lobby just to realize how useless it is... Lol

The gooch was the worst for me. Second had to be the yeti.

[@D2_LoneWolf]

To me, it is hard to do this kind of event when you are a solo player and have no time left because you either have a job to do outside of gaming or just have something going on in your life outside of the game. right now I am working on the Gooch event and it is annoying if you are in a session that has already been Gooch or has not and on top of that you would have to wait 48 minutes just for it to spawn. to me, these event sounds cool but the process is not amazing. The only cool thing is the Yeti event and having a free snowball gun. Overall, I think these events sound cool but are not fun when doing them in a public lobby.

[@Cole-nj9zm]

I, personally, had zero issues getting the sweaters, got them both in the same lobby from my first/second presents from the hauler while I was doing the new Chop Shop robberies. My issue was the players, they all kept running to it and hogging the presents, and at one point glitched the hauler out by disconnecting the trailer somehow, causing the truck to have a seizure trying to spawn back in. The Yeti event was pretty cool, though, but having to wait for an hour after getting all the clues when it wasnt night for the Yeti to spawn was a nightmare.

[@joevk6274]

I feel like Rockstar didn't fully think the Holiday Hauler through. About 90% of the time it spawned, several players would ram into it repeatedly until it glitched out and the truck drove away, leaving the trailer far behind, and no presents would drop. The other 10%, I was in a line of 2-3 players, and we all took turns getting a present. Get a present, move to the back of the line. It only got unruly a couple of times, but there was always at least one player following the trailer on a mk2 who would make short work of whoever tried to turn the peaceful little parade into a war.

[@fingerpointer10]

Agreed, I had similar experience getting sweaters and the gooch outfit. The weapon skins force you to play jobs I wouldn’t otherwise do but I prefer explicit requirements to randomness.

[@gtdriver2416]

I completely agree. And you didnt even show the worst bugs when it comes to this event. For me it sometimes glitches out so much with many people around the truck, the blue icon keeps moving on the minimap but the truck itself gets stuck. Then the game fails to spawn it back in again, which just produces a lot of orange/green clouds on the map. might be some desync stuff, but for e this is unplayable

[@FreeAimDog]

thankfully i was in a 3 man lobby and the person that was collecting presents with me was nice enough not to shoot at me or blow me up so i let him get some when he got left behind. a rare sight in a lobby.

[@JedForge]

I kind of lucked out in getting both sweaters for both of my characters. Not much competition despite fairly full lobbies, sometimes the truck was already spawned when I warped in. There was one lobby where a modder was bombing the truck, keeping it from dropping anything but that was just one lobby as far as I experienced. One of my toons got the Pistol last night, but my other can't seem to trigger the event (public or otherwise). Still no Gooch sighting (last year nor this one so far). Got the snowman outfit on both characters last year. Got the Yeti outfit on both. Despite the luck with the sweaters, these last few days have reinforced why I stay out of Public Sessions and have me questioning if the rewards are worth it. Wish my friends were still playing. EDIT: And I agree the RNG sucks. Just because some of us have good luck does NOT make it all OK. EDIT2: And I fully agree it's dumb to have so much soloable (which I love) and then limited time events require another person. Absolute brainless!

[@LasagnaEnhancementOrganization]

I actually got both sweaters really easily which is a rarity for me if rng is involved. I suggest to anybody that is going to follow the truck around, follow it in your m.o.c, because most of the tome you can actually get the presents that spawn and stay in the air. Plus the m.o.c will take a shit load of damage before it explodes so if you have to fight over the presents you’ll probably the last one standing.

I had two really good lobbies for this event. I ran up to the hauler and there was two other people driving behind it, right up until a crew of three idiots in an Insurgent pick up came in hot just to kill everyone. I killed one and everyone else jumped on the crew while I just drove away unscathed. Had one other friendly player while we drove along we swapped with each other after every package dropped to keep it even. Second session, since I didn't have the ecola sweater, no one cared about the truck and I just collected everything for 3/4 of the total route.

[@pphead9960]

My biggest problem with the holiday update was that it was just a lot of waiting. Wait for the truck. Wait for the Die Hard shootout. Wait for the Gooch. The Gooch alone took me over 4 hours to get because I think it bugged. I sat in 1 lobby for over 3 hours waiting for it to spawn and I'm pretty sure it just stopped spawning at one point. So I had to join a different lobby and wait another hour for it. The cherry on top was when I joined my friend and 5 minutes after joining the session the Gooch spawned on me again. Getting everything took me far longer than I was hoping and it was so boring.

[@FunnyKnightGuy]

i like it, i followed it around with a complete stranger in a nightshark killing people who try to kill others to take all the gifts for themselves, and called the ones constantly attacking the thing to ruin the event "grinches" and attacking them even after the hauler disappears. good fun, miss that jolly fellow.

[@Aff3ct000]

Instead of developing exciting and enjoyable gameplay the players actually want to play, they once again force us fools to spend hour after hour to get a lame cosmetic. The reason they're doing this is to artificially inflate year-end engagement statistics, so the same losers who coded this garbage get their ill-earned bonuses this year. They did the exact same thing with the Gooch last year, for the exact same reason.

Usually works... except the times when I get a rocket into my face after I press Enter :D Then I make sure that player gets nothing from this truck :D

[@Gummy-kf3tk]

I agree... The RNG is stupid...i was lucky enough to join a friend that had already been in a lobby for a while so we both got 1 sweater the first time then we both got hit by the gooch not too long after, then the truck popped back up again a few minutes after that and we both got the other sweater... All in about an hour and a half, maybe 2 hours...

[@DoublesC]

I followed this truck for so long the music is burned into my head xD

[@GhostReaper2043]

I agree with you 100% I have been trying all damn day to get the Weazel Plazza Shootout to spawn in also. I have been trying to get the stupid Gooch to spawn in as well kind of ridiculous to spend all day in multiple multiple of sessions to walk out empty-handed.

[@Mr.Shadow090]

Why does everyone expect to get everything in one day on an event that is lasting for 2 weeks ???

[@Antidepressiva1980]

because people in general are stupid pricks . This one here is no different. Wants everything as bad as yesterday.@@Mr.Shadow090

[@El-Leon-VLLC]

There's also a bug with the Weazel Plaza event. Once you kill all the bad guys you CAN'T LOOT THE GODDAMN PISTOL, fr. I tried the event like 6 times in a row AND I STILL DIDN'T GET THE PISTOL. I tried killing the guy with regular weapons, Oppressor MK2, fists, burning him alive, snow balls and even had to fight against other players FOR NOTHING because no one could loot the pistol.

[@XenoTronusWeePoo850]

While the presents suck, it's nice to drive along side the cute Christmas truck

[@davidsantacarla]

I’m just lucky but I kept lobby hopping and 75% of the lobbies had already spawned the HHH. 50% of the lobbies had zero people who knew what the HH was. I just followed slowly on my MK2 listening to Blue Ark. The Gooch even grabbed me once while following. 🎄

[@tjakal]

Is it wrong that I feel warm and fuzzy when I see clouds of salty MK2's battling behind the Holiday Hauler' over some ugly sweaters they're never gonna wear? It's like Rockstar sent us 18 wheels of Christmas miracle.

[@doiknowyou1179]

At least your truck didn't purposely get stuck so many times. Mine fell off the zancudo bridge, kept crashing on the gas station by paleto and more. Truck only dropped 2 collectable gifts. The other ones were floating or were invisible.

[@yurishorino633]

First time I stumbled on 5yo kid trying to kill me for glitched gifts… so much fun… but I made lots of friends drifting around in the snow to balance it out. 😇

[@Alexcarter27]

Trying to get the Grooch to attack is even worse as you have to be in a lobby with at least two people and you have to wait 48 minutes every time for it to spawn. If you are in a public lobby with about 20 other players, it's incredibly annoying and time consuming.

[@chrishansen9102]

No way i got both Holiday Sweaters by accident waiting for The Gooch still waiting by the way

[@BLACK_N01R_]

I really like this event but the RNG is kinda dumb but luckily I found two other players following the truck and we all took turns grabbing a gift until we all got a sweater.

[@stewartvalentino]

I wish I could give you my sweater I got. Didn’t think nobody really cared about it. Especially me I was going after money and free ammo.

[@Bigmanmo69.]

I somehow managed to get the ecola sweater first try lol

[@EssexCountyPhoto]

Same here (UK), half the crates either disappeared or just froze (pun intended!) and after a three days chasing those awful sweaters, I gave up... Anyway, keep up the good work. 👍🏻

[@jpegjared]

I got the e-cola sweater first present, and the sprunk sweater dropped for me when I was taking turns grabbing presents with a player. Every other time I tried to get presents I got blown up by oppressors and deluxo’s which makes me glad I got them when I did. After I got the sweaters there was no reason to follow the truck.

[@TrippyNoodles]

I was enjoying the destruction chaos around that truck so much I didn’t care much about the gifts.

[@GuyNate-bl2ov]

The reason I try to not complain about these recent events is because of how bad I robbed someone for the WM 29 pistol.

[@Mega1andy2]

luckily i was in a friendly session for me to pick up the exclusive rewards. for the sweater, thank god for the for the car that i was in. the car i was in was the itali GTO stinger TT, and that car had missile lock on jammer, plus i was reaching and exceeding 180 mphs MAX topspeed, because of this, this is the number one car i will be using. since it is a must have.

[@Sultan-Zaviyar-Rehan]

6:13 Yes brother, you’re right, i have only 2 hours to play or sometimes 3, Also your fan here from Pakistan 🫡

[@Sonic_fast_fox60]

I agree with you because it take a hour to get it, but comment say it easy for them to get ecola or sprunk sweater but realizing, for them it very hard to get this rare item trying to get two sweater. And second who idea of making each holiday event had to be two player to do event they should make one player there are no point of making two player just for holiday event. I think rockstar don't want us have fun on gta online holiday event.

[@Sonic_fast_fox60]

And I understand what you talking about this issue of gta online every holiday event or holiday item.
