Purp Gang-Green Gang War of 2020

**How It Started:**

*"If you’ve logged on to Grand Theft Auto Online within the past couple of weeks you’ll no doubt have witnessed groups of players causing chaos. The basic premise of the war is that those wearing green alien bodysuits are agents of anarchy, attacking players at random and restricted by just one ‘moral code’: no guns. Those wearing purple alien costumes are out to stop the greens, acting as a sort of vigilante army protecting other players. Over a matter of days those missions have blurred, and now it’s largely just a case of green versus purple... With the war dominating GTA Online, from the lobbies to the subreddit, a final battle has been declared by players. On May 15 at 8pm Eastern Time, the war will conclude in a colossal showdown at Los Santos International Airport, and afterwards things can go back to normal. At least, as normal as GTA Online can be in the wake of this community-shifting event... That’s the end point of the alien gang wars story. But what of the start? Well, that’s all down to Adam Long. On April 15, Long published a video to Reddit. The clip shows him and a few friends - all dressed in neon green alien bodysuits - pull a handbrake turn on Los Santos’ pier and bail out of their van, startling another player. They then beat him to death with baseball bats and drive away. As of writing, the video has over 28,000 upvotes, and has inspired an all-encompassing movement." -* https://www.ign.com/articles/gta-online-alien-war-green-purple

**The Lore of the Purp Gang-Green Gang War of 2020**

Sometime during the pandemic, in the year of two thousand and twenty, two factions known as Purp Gang and Green Gang within the streets of Los Santos declared war on one another. As stated in the article above, Green Gang to the best of our knowledge was the first alien bodysuit gang to arise. They were known for being aggressive, antagonizing and violent. They would roam the streets of the island, more specifically Los Santos, jumping anyone who wasn't with them, creating mayhem and chaos. As a result, the innocents who were just trying to live their lives and go about their missions decided to do something about it. This was the supposed birth of Purp Gang, an opposing alien bodysuit gang with one mission: destroy Green Gang. But, this wasn't the origin of Purp Gang, to learn more about the Purp Gang's lore and the history, visit the Purp Gang page on this wiki. Throughout many months, Purp Gang and Green Gang fought each other for supremacy. As stated in the article above, Purp Gang's original goal was to push back against Green Gang, to put an end to the senseless violence they caused all around the island.

While nobody really knows for sure which side won the war, it seemed that Purp Gang and Green Gang had dissolved, becoming a relic, a legend in Grand Theft Auto V's Online history book. Today, as of 2023, there is hardly any sign of either of the two gangs, with one exception. Purp Gang is survived by a new CEO and three other members who still actively patrol the streets of Los Santos and scope out the island for any sign of Green Gang, as well as punishing those who wrong them. As far as we know, this crew, which is called "LastOfPurpGang," is the only remaining organized group of Purp Gang. It is very, very likely that numerous Purp Gang members are still out there, but are unaware of this new leadership and crew, wandering aimlessly through the streets of Los Santos and the freeways of the island. Some may even be afraid to show they were once apart of this war, without reason. Either way, some may argue that because Purp Gang is still alive, it must mean they ultimately won the Purp Gang-Green Gang War of 2020. As of now, there has been so sign of Green Gang, not even a small faction.
