Get ready to carve your pumpkins and sharpen your survival skills because this year's event is no trick, all treat, and full of freaky features that'll make you jump out of your skin (virtually, of course).
The Spooktacular Return of Portals
Remember those portals that popped up like uninvited ghosts at a séance? They're baaack! And this time, they're bringing more than just the eerie vibes. Imagine stepping into your average, run-of-the-mill portal and finding yourself in a dungeon that's less 'damp basement' and more 'haunted house with a loot problem.' Scarecrow NPCs are lurking in the shadows, ready to jump out and shout "Boo!" (or whatever it is that scarecrows shout). Grab the goodies, give those straw-stuffed menaces the ol' one-two, and zip back to reality before you can say "candy corn."
Frankenstein's Pets: The Cutest Abominations You'll Ever Meet
Who needs a guard dog when you can have a Frankenstein pet? These adorable abominations are back by popular demand, and assembling them is as easy as pie (a very weird pie). Just hunt down the Mummy and Scarecrow NPCs, grab their body parts (ew, but yay!), and slap them onto the Frankenstein table like a mad scientist on a sugar high. Choose from light, medium, or heavy (because even monsters come in different sizes), and voilà! You've got yourself a pet that's part monster, part best friend, and all awesome.
The Frankenstein Table: IKEA's Got Nothing on This
Forget about those confusing IKEA instructions; the Frankenstein table is the DIY project of your nightmares (in a good way). It's a default blueprint, so no scavenger hunts required. Just a measly 200 metal frags, and you're on your way to creating life! Plop down that table, throw in the parts, and hit 'Wake Frankenstein.' It's so easy, even a zombie could do it (probably).
Unleash Your Franken-Pet!
Boo! Did I scare you? No? Well, maybe your new Frankenstein pet will do a better job this Halloween! The Halloween Update 2024 has rolled out, and it's alive... ALIVE! Introducing the latest craze in pet fashion: the Frankenstein pet, available in light, medium, and heavy models.
Choose Your Franken-Flavour
The light Frankenstein pet is like that friend who's always first to flee from a horror movie scene—fast but not so tough. The heavy one? Think of a zombie snail with a six-pack. It's slow but can take a hit like a champ. And the medium? It's your all-rounder, the perfect sidekick for trick-or-treating.
Mix 'n' Match Madness
Get ready for the ultimate pet puzzle! With interchangeable parts, you can create a Franken-pet that's as unique as your costume. Want a pet that can sprint but also headbutt like a boss? Combine those light legs with a heavy head and watch the magic happen.
Control Your Creature
Ever wanted to command your own monster? With the new radial menu, it's as easy as holding 'p' (for pet, obviously). Make it play dead, follow you like a shadow, or go full beast mode in combat. Just don't hit 'destroy' unless you want to see your Franken-friend go poof!
Frightful Features
Scavenge parts from mummies and scarecrows (because where else would you find them?), but remember, you can only bring one pet to the monster mash. They won't stray far, with a max range of 100m—no one wants a lost monster. And no power required! These pets are eco-friendly and only need a good bolt of lightning to charge up.
Keep an eye on your pet's health (it's on the bottom right, so no excuses), and track their spooky whereabouts on the map.
New items!
Expect some new spooky items on the item store. Along with community made skins, it looks like at least two new masks are coming in (Dracula and Mummy masks).
Trick or Treat event
Once every other in-game day, a mysterious countdown begins, and before you can say "boo," Halloween Candy starts popping up like eerie mushrooms after a rainstorm. You've got a whole three minutes to channel your inner candy-crazed gremlin and gather as much as you can. It's a sugar rush with a timer, and let me tell you, it's more intense than trying to choose a movie on a first date.
Now, you might be asking, "What do I do with a mountain of virtual candy?" Well, you could go the traditional route and eat it until you're virtually stuffed. But if you're the type who likes to live on the edge (of a sugar crash), you can trade up that candy for some seriously sweet loot. It's like the stock market, but with chocolate and gummies.
And for the competitive souls out there, the top three candy collectors get prizes. It's like the Halloween version of the Olympics, but instead of medals, you get bragging rights and possibly a virtual toothache.
Let's talk upgrades. Starting with the humble Halloween Candy, which you can munch on for a minor health boost, you can trade up to a Small Loot Bag. It's like going from a tricycle to a bike with training wheels.
But wait, there's even more!
The Pumpkin Bucket isn't just for decoration; it's your ticket to becoming a candy-gathering tycoon. And if you're feeling a bit mischievous, you can chuck candy at your friends for a good laugh (and a bit of damage).
Don't forget the Scarecrow Wrap, which is like having candy radar goggles. With this, you'll spot those sweet treats from a mile away.
And for the grand finale, the resources have gone full Halloween mode. Wood, stone, and ore have never looked so spooky, and you can even pick up bones. Because nothing says "Halloween" like decorating your virtual abode with some good old-fashioned bones.
So, get ready, because Rust's Halloween Event is about to turn your survival experience into a spookfest you won't forget. With portals that lead to loot-filled dungeons and the chance to play Dr. Frankenstein, you'll be too busy having a blast to be scared. Well, maybe just a little scared. Happy haunting, survivors!
