Gears of War 4 Halloween event officially detailed

Get your pumpkin heads ready

The Coalition has announced the return of the Halloween event for Gears of War 4 fully equipped with pumpkin heads and bonus XP

A new multiplayer mode called Pumpkinball will take place and be available through November 1st. It will be a variant on the Dodgeball mode with a few changes and inclusion of pumpkin heads. The heads are themed after the Swarm juvies rather than the locust this time around and are available on five maps including 

  • Fallout
  • Forge
  • Harbor
  • Impact
  • Lift

Some of the changes to the event include only a 1 second respawn and less respawn protection. A special purchasable Halloween Elite Gear pack was also announced, which is guaranteed to include at least one card of epic or legendary quality. Since it is Halloween, all legendary quality cards will be based on the Day of the Dead collection in game. 

All packs are available now and will be last through the weekend, ending on Tuesday November 1st.
