As we got closer to the Holidays and Christmas, many games, including GTA Online, released related content to celebrate the holidays in their own way. While many players guessed it would be added when the Drug Wars update came to GTA Online, the holiday and snowy Los Santos were added later with another update. With this update, some new items and two random events were also added to the game. One of the items was The Gooch mask and here is how to get it in GTA Online.
How to Get The Gooch Mask in GTA Online
As part of the Christmas update that was released a few days ago, two new random events were added to GTA Online. One of them was a shootout at the top of the Weazle News Building and the other was The Gooch attacking you.
If you haven’t already figured it out, The Gooch is basically the infamous Grinch that hated Christmas and everything related to it. Completing each of these events will reward you.
The reward for completing the Gooch random event is $25,000 and the Gooch Mask. Since it is a random event, all you have to do is just play GTA Online for some time until the event is triggered.
It is best to play the game for at least an hour. If the event didn’t happen, you can either come back in a few hours or simply restart the game. There hasn’t been a bug that prevents it from happening, so you can be sure that it will happen eventually.
It doesn’t matter where you are, The Gooch will appear. But it usually comes faster if you are in the city rather than in rural places. The event will start with an NPC, The Gooch will attack and get all your cash and snacks.

But the good thing is, you can chase him, and to get your stuff back, you have to kill him. Once he is dead, you will not also retrieve your stolen property, but also get a $25K reward as well as the Gooch Mask.
