To spawn a Clone Slasher in GTA Online Halloween 2025, you need to make sure the following conditions are met:

You must have joined the session at least 16 minutes prior. If the slasher spawns for a player, there will be a 15-minute cooldown for the slasher to spawn again for you.
You must be in freeroam and should not be inside a building.
You should either be on foot or in a normal vehicle. Aircraft, boats, weaponized vehicles, and special vehicles are not allowed.
The in-game time must be between 1 to 5 am.

Location and chances of Clone Slasher spawning for you

If the above conditions are met, there is a 50% chance that a Clone Slasher spawns instead of other kinds of slashers for you.

Different slashers can spawn in different locations:

The Clown - Los Santos
The Psycho - Tongva Hills, Vinewood Hills, Great Chaparral
The Driver - Redwood Lights Track
The SackSlasher - North of Blaine County

However, the Clone Slasher can spawn in all the previous slasher locations, though it only has a 50% chance of spawning for you. Hence, if a regular slasher spawns for you, you can change your lobby, wait for 16 minutes, and try to spawn another slasher, which could be your clone.

How to fight and defeat the Clone Slasher

Once the Clone Slasher spawns, it will either have a baseball bat, battle axe, flashlight, knife, knuckle dusters, or machete to attack you.

The event ends with either you or the slasher getting killed. The slasher will also have a massive health pool, allowing it to survive multiple explosions. However, it can be stunned, which you can use to attack it. If you allow the slasher to chase you for more than five minutes, it will simply despawn.
