Steam post image Hey Survivors,

Before we begin, we’d like to extend an apology for the current radio silence on the 1.29 update front. We are still currently gathering necessary information regarding its progress, plans, and beyond. We will communicate more with a status report in the near future. Thank you for your understanding.

Now, on to the next! The spooky season is already around the corner. Prague is descending into the state of Chernarus with morning fog and chills in the air. The Halloween event is back, starting today, October 21st, until November 7th. Here’s what you can expect from the event:

• Haunted Castles covered in spooky fog

• Halloween variants for infected: The Mummy, Jack O' Infected, the Witch

• The Demon Goat

• Leaf Crowns (may vary from map to map)

• Decaying Player Characters

• Halloween related items (Witch hat, witch hood, pumpkin helmet, cauldron, and more)

The event may vary from map to map both in terms of features and assets. Here’s an infographic for more details.
