Hunt’s very first Halloween Event starts today on PC. From now until November 4th, you’ll have the chance to unlock exclusive equipment, and a few other naughty treats. To get the gear, you’ll need to collect special Event Points, which you can do by heading down the bayou and:
Destroying pumpkins scattered through the world
Destroying the Butcher’s pumpkin head
Investigating a Halloween-themed Clue or Rift
Destroying pumpkins mounted on scarecrows
There’s a trick to boosting the points you earn with the Halloween-exclusive consumable – the Wormseed Shot. You’ll receive three of these to get you started – just for logging in during the event. You can equip up to four of them onto your Hunter in Bounty Hunt, and using one will increase the amount of Event Points earned in that match by 25%. And if you need more, you can buy them in the store using Blood Bonds. Using more than one will multiply the effect, and the effect will also apply to any Hunters on your team – so get your friends together and really rake in the points! In Quick Play, you cannot equip any Wormseed shots before a mission, but will find them as you go in the world.
It takes 1000 Event Points to unlock all the Halloween goodies. Up to 500 points you earn over that will be considered a Bonus and converted into Blood Bonds at the end of the event. Your additional Wormseed Shots will also be converted in Blood Bonds.
Each day, there’s a cap on the amount of Event Points which you can earn. On the first day, you will cap out at 200 points. Once you hit the cap for that day, you can still play the event, but you won’t rack up any more Event Points. On the second day, your point total caps out at 600. (If you capped out on day one with 200 points, then this means on day two, you can earn an additional 400 points.) On the third day of the event your points cap out at 1000. Every day after that (and until the end of the event), your Event Points will cap out at 1500. So lock yourself in for a full weekend of mischief and mayhem!
We hope you’ll have some fun spooking other Hunters and smashing up pumpkins in the Bayou during our event. Check back again tomorrow for more information on all the Halloween-themed gear you’ll be able to earn, and as always, happy hunting!
Don’t own Hunt yet? Get it now to join in the festivities!

Coffee Stain Studios is pleased to reveal that Satisfactory, the otherworldly first-person factory building sim will receive a slippery update on November 10th! The Fluids Update will douse the game in a shower of new fluid and pipe content, a ton of new buildables, a jump pad overhaul, and a hugely gratifying Packager building. The new content continues to refine and upgrade the Satisfactory experience as it develops towards full commercial launch. The Fluids Update is available on the experimental branch now, and will launch onto the main Satisfactory Early Access branch on Steam and Epic Games Store on November 10th.
The Fluids Update upgrades the Satisfactory Fluid System, allowing for Mk.2 Pipelines that carry up to 600 cubic meters of fluids per minute, accompanied by the Pipeline Pump Mk.2 with superior head lift and new in-world feedback. The update also introduces two highly anticipated fluid features; The Packager, a small and energy efficient building which will replace the Refinery for packaging Fluids, and the Valve, which can control the maximum throughput of a Pipeline.
Alongside the newly revamped fluid systems, Satisfactory is also introducing a host of new Factory building content for Pioneers. The Jump Pads have been revamped with useful new visual feedback, and pipe placement has been upgraded for a smoother experience, meaning pumps can now be rotated, and various wall attachments can be placed in new and exciting ways. As well as the wave of new content and building systems, the Fluids Update will bring a series of bug fixes and quality of life improvements. The full patch notes can be seen here.
Satisfactory launched into Early Access in March 2019, combining construction, exploration and a dash of combat, players must keep improving their factories, researching new technologies and automating vehicles all while defending themselves against hostile alien lifeforms. The Fluids Update is the latest in a series of updates since launch, and further evolves the in-game fluid systems, ensuring production never stops.
Satisfactory is available now for $29.99/€29.99 on the Epic Games Store, and Steam Early Access.

Between October 26 and November 9, World of Tanks will present the biggest Halloween event in its 10-year history. Collaborating with Masahiro Ito, the Art Director and Monster Designer of the Silent Hill universe and Akira Yamaoka the star Composer behind the same nightmarish series – this World of Tanks event will draw players into the sinister story of a scientific experiment gone wrong and a world gone mad.
In an all new PVE co-op event, players must use teamwork and tactical cooperation to overcome the armored monster tanks of a mysterious origin. A platoon of 5 tanks will join forces to save the world and uncover the mystery behind the town of Mirny-13!
“Inspired by the imaginations of both Ito-san and Yamaoka-san – we’ve let our team run wild for spooky season, with a custom event map and a unique co-op mechanics; this PVE event will be unlike any other” says Max Chuvalov, World of Tanks Global Publishing Director. “But beware, those who go it alone will do so at their own peril. Teamwork is key this Halloween, and it is the only way to vanquish your frightful foes.”
Players will be taken through four changing worlds in Platoons of five, riding in specifically modified Tier IX tanks for this event, unlocking the story of Mirny-13 as they go.
“Working on this year’s Halloween event for World of Tanks was a very interesting and rewarding experience,” says Masahiro Ito. “The combination of the passionate artists at Wargaming and our shared vision for a unique and frightening event made this all possible. My previous works are known for their unsettling atmospheres, chilling narratives and nightmarish beasts, so hopefully World of Tanks players are ready to experience all of these this Halloween!”
Throughout the event, tankers will be able to access unique event content, carrying special Crew members, 3D styles and camos, and loads of XP and Credits over to the main game. They will even be able to get their hands on 3D skins designed by Masahiro Ito himself, whilst enjoying a haunting ambient track for the event hangar created by Akira Yamaoka!
