That sinister chill crawling up your spine can only mean one thing, soldier - from Wednesday, October 14 through Sunday, November 1, Nanite of the Living Dead will rise once more to haunt the continents of Auraxis!
Our annual Halloween event is back and bigger than ever, with Space Pumpkins, an all-new Seasonal Directive, and a bevy of special treats available to earn or purchase from the Depot. Even Sanctuary has been outfitted for spooky season, so load up your Ectoblaster and make ready for mischief, those Galact-O-Lanterns won't hunt themselves!
The party starts in Sanctuary, where even the vendors have dressed for the occasion! Ghouls, ghosts, and ghastly surprises abound at this monster mash, so make sure you're appropriately kitted for the masquerade. Small talk is its own reward - a variety of Halloween Masks can be earned by talking to certain vendors, and equipping any Halloween mask will award bonus XP throughout the duration of the event!
IT'S TIME FOR A PUMPKIN HAUNT
Space Pumpkins and the elusive Galact-O-Lanterns are back and spawning all across Auraxis! Smash these pumpkins to earn XP and extra rewards in the form of Infernal Grenades, which can in turn be used to earn bonus XP and Directive progress.
