Halloween 2024

Darkness falls upon the island as monsters re-awaken from their slumber. The rifts open in random locations, leading to who-knows-where. Enter if you dare, but if you do, you better prepare!

The yearly Halloween event is now enabled!
Once roughly every two in-game days, the Candy Hunt event will begin.
You'll have 3 minutes to collect as much candy as you can, then top 3 players are given special loot bags as a reward. These candies and loot bags can be opened for various types of loot, ranging from scrap, all the way up to an M249!


If you don't make the podium, that's okay. The candies you collect can be upgraded for better loot!

This year's Halloween event will run until November 7th.
Wondering what to do with all those body parts you've collected? Build your own monster!
To start putting together your morbid creation, first, you must slay the scarecrows and mummies that roam the lands. Once you've collected a head, torso, and legs, craft yourself a Frankenstein's table and place the body parts within it.
Awaken your new pet monster and control it by pressing "P". The monster will follow your orders without question. It'll follow you around the map, defend you if attacked and help slay foes you wish to attack.

If you're having trouble accessing the pet menu or already have a key bound to "P" then use the following console command:  bind X +pets or open the in-game controls menu.

This year, we've added three Halloween-themed items - one purchasable, and two free.

MASKS

Frankenstein and Mummy masks

Dracula Cape + Mask

Dracula cape & mask can be found on the limited item store.
Cultists are said to have been opening portals across the island, while others believe it's a Cobalt experiment code-named R.U.I.N gone horribly wrong. 

Not much is known about these portals - what they do or where they go, but only a few brave souls have entered through and made it back alive.
Do you dare to enter the rift?

Server owners can adjust the portal count using the halloweendungeon.population convar.
