Hello burglars,

We recently found a bug that prevented the pumpkin head from spawning properly during the last few hours of our Hackoween event, which meant some of you couldn’t collect enough points to unlock the seasonal cosmetics in time.

We’re really sorry about that and I wanted to inform you that the bug has been identified and fixed in this patch. But to make up for it, we’re extending the Hackoween Special event until November 8th so everyone has a fair chance to grab the cosmetics they were aiming for.

So the pumpkin head is back, Halloween tickets are dropping again, and all the seasonal cosmetics are still unlockable until Sunday night!

Thanks for your patience, and sorry again for the trouble. We hope these extra days help you enjoy the end of the event.

Have fun!
Raven
