Gears of War 4 Halloween 2018 events have been detailed featuring a wide range of game modes and activities to take part in. The events will run from October 23rd to November 5th, 2018. You'll be able to earn 3XP during all Halloween events with a special bonus in the following week. There are a couple festive playlists to choose from whether you like competitive or cooperative experiences.
Events:
Horde Monster Mash
The Monsters will invade this Halloween! Monster Mash is a rich roster of Swarm only enemies, packed into 25 wave variants on both Normal and Insane Difficulty. Horde with the insanity of Horde Frenzy (Normal and Insane difficulties).
The mode also includes rare Horde enemies (like the Swarm Sniper) and random wave combinations. And of course, just like Pumpkin Ball, it wouldn’t be Halloween themed if it didn’t feature darker maps now would it?
Every Midnight Omen weapon skin will be in the pool throughout Halloween. While this won’t be the best way to hunt down a specific weapon skin, you never know if that trick might turn into a treat!
Pumpkin Ball
Juvie O’Lantern Heads are back with the return of Pumpkin Ball!
This is a remix of Dodgeball which reduces respawn timers to 1 second for a more frenzied scary Dodgeball experience. Expect some shocks as respawning enemies appear out of thin air.
Pumpkin Ball now has three new elements on top of the respawn timer change including next to instant self reviving, more downs allowed per life and reduced ammo in your starting weapons.
Like a true Zombie horror experience, headshots and gibs are your best chance to survive the onslaught of your enemies. Can you hold your nerve?
