With autumn now in full swing, the island is ready to delve once more into the dark and frightening: Howloween has risen again! We have three weeks of scary-good challenges, rewards, and monstrous Super Animals to reveal, so let’s go bravely into the darkness and see what lurks in the shadows of the event’s first week.

The Super Cthulhu Octopus has emerged from the deepest corners of the Research Lab: a nightmare made real! Smash Jack-o-Lanterns and collect Candy Corn (also earned at the end of each match) to get a small heal and progress some of your weekly event challenges as you stalk your prey around the island.

• Fish Monster Beanie | Collect Candy Corn (1000)
  
• 1500 XP | Smash Jack-O-Lanterns (15)
  
• Fish Monster Outfit | Get Kills (12)
  
• 750 Carl Coins | Replenish Health from Campfires (150)
  
• Dogna’s Spiderweb Dartfly Gun | Dogna’s Dartfly Damage (50)

• Super Cthulhu Octopus

As always, new breeds introduced during events are permanent additions to the Lab, and event challenges can be beaten at any time during the event’s run (not just during the week that they unlock). Just like having a bucket full of candy to eat, it’s best to pace yourself.


Til’ wabada do us part… the Ghost Bride Bundle is now in the SAW Shop! This beautifully macabre set will be available as one of the week’s Featured items alongside the new Howl emote, so if you like it you should put a ring on it before it goes into rotation.

The Ghost Bride Bundle includes the following:

• Ghost Bride Headband
  
• Ghost Bride Dress
  
• Ghost Bride Bouquet melee

The Shop has a few other treats to offer, available now and added to the rotation:

• Howl Emote
  
• Wisp Hat

Cackling Carl has added some legacy Howloween items to his Cart’s inventory! Here’s what Carl has scrounged up this time:

• Skeleton AK
  
• Bolts Hat
  
• Bat Wing Outfit
  
• Frankenstein Outfit
  
• Pumpkin Shotgun
  
• Pumpkin Glasses
  
• Jack-o-cap
  
• Candlestick
  
• Candy Corn Dress

Keep an eye out for them (and more Howloween cosmetics) as they rotate into the Shop during the Howloween event!


Returning from previous Howloween events, from now until November 8th, you can enter the coupon code HOWLOWEEN in the main menu to get the Howl Mask cosmetic. Take your Howl Michaels cosplay to a whole new level (of uncanniness)!


We’ve implemented some changes for S.A.W. vs. Rebellion classes around their armor, to help balance them out and highlight their individual play styles.

• Heavy I now has tier 2 armor (up from tier 1)
  
• Scout II now has tier 2 armor (down from tier 3)
  
• Sniper II now comes equipped with the Bandolier powerup, and has tier 2 armor (down from tier 3)

Thanks to all of your support, both of the Zombie Joe Plushies we recently unveiled with Makeship have been successfully funded! We’re thrilled to see the excitement for this plushie campaign, and can’t wait for these little bundles of undead joy to make their way to homes across the world when they ship next year.

All orders will include a tie-on set of bat wings as part of Makeship’s Menace event, as well as codes you can redeem in-game for a plush emote and a set of Menace Bat Wings for your Super Animal to wear.

They're only available until the end of October so make sure to pick up yours before Thursday, October 31st if you want one! Adopt yours on Makeship[www.makeship.com].

In case you missed it, our Glow-in-the-Dark Zombie Joe plushies are live on Makeship for the rest of October! Each plush comes with a code for a plush emote and in-game bat wings to match the physical ones that also come with the plush as part of the Makeship Menace event. Codes will be delivered to those who purchased the plushies when they ship early next year!

We’re super proud of how these plushies turned out thanks to Cheryl and the amazing folks at Makeship! This is our last major merch item of the year, but if you have any ideas for what you’d like to see in the future, make sure to let us know here in the comments or in our Discord server[discord.gg].
