Hey Everyone,
Buckle up guys, this is one hair-raising update! Today marks the beginning of our Halloween event, Vampire DLC pack and New Map!
Halloween Event: Trick or Treat
We’re releasing a wide variety of unique cosmetic seasonal rewards alongside some spooky map decorations and another chance to play with the development team so make sure you’re online!
How you gain those sweet Halloween rewards:
Want to unlock exclusive Halloween rewards? All you need to do is keep your eyes open for delicious in game candy. Collect the candy and it’ll turn into Halloween points; earn enough and you’ll unlock some sweet rewards. To make things a little more difficult the smaller candy rewards the most points, so look for the toffee apples and elusive golden gummy bears if you want to unlock everything as fast as possible.
The types of candy and size classifications are as follows:
- 2 Points - Big Gummy Bears (Huge)
- 4 Points - Bowl of Sweets (Large)
- 6 Points - Chocolate Bars (Medium)
- 10 Points - Toffee Apples (Small)
- 20 Points - Golden Gummy Bears (Tiny)
Lastly there will also be special loot booth tokens available during the holiday. Each loot booth reward comes with a number of Halloween points based on its tier, meaning that even common unlocks can help you chase down Halloween legendary items before the end of the holiday.
Additionally, there are some performance based bonuses outlined below:
- When escaping as an innocent player you will receive an additional 50% points on top of whatever you have picked up in the game.
- When executing an innocent as an infected player you will receive an additional 25% points per execution on top of whatever you have picked up in the game.

Vampire DLC Pack
With the Vampire Expansion, you will be able to prey on innocent victims as you transform into the exclusive Vampire Terror form! This terror form offers a brand new terror tactic through its active: the Swarm.
When used, the Vampire temporarily shape-shifts into a swarm of bats to traverse the vent system at hellish speed leaving a puff of smoke in your wake. Know where the innocents are hiding or need a quick getaway from those trying to down you? The “Swarm” active places you exactly where you want to be almost instantly to give you that terror advantage.
Additionally, when playing as an innocent you’ll gain access to an exclusive new Stake melee weapon to defend yourself against deadly vampiric attacks.
The Vampire pack also includes an exclusive Vampire Emblem, 10 loot booth tokens to help you get even more cosmetic gear for your character and 200 GM tokens to put towards your next item or use with the Reputation system to show appreciation to your favourite fellow players.
This pack contains:
- Exclusive: Playable Vampire Terror
- Exclusive: ‘You Suck’ T-shirt
- Exclusive: Stake Melee Weapon
- Exclusive: Vampire Emblem
- 10 Loot Booth Tokens
- 200 GM Credits
