Gameplay Changes

  • Black and orange spiders now spawn on the beaches
  • Megalania, Titanoboa, Pulmonoscorpius, Megalosaurus, Onyc, Arthropluera, and Araneo spawn points changed to various surface points around the map. The creepy crawlies are out to spook!
  • Skins can now randomly spawn in level 3 supply drops.
  • Quality of drops increased.
  • Colder, longer nights and shorter days, brrr!

Unofficial Servers

Unofficials can enable the event by updating to the -beta halloween branch and the following ini settings:

a NEW Game.ini ShooterGameMode setting (which makes it colder): BaseTemperatureMultiplier = 0.475

and running once with: -ForceRespawnDinos

Notes

  • In comparison to the halloween events in the last two years, this event features less content due to the development team focusing mainly on Aberration.[3]
