Rust Halloween
What the Halloween event adds to the game. Each server turns its events on for itself.
What the event adds
- The hunt lasts 3 minutes. Each player starts with 4 or 5 candies spawned 15 to 25 m away.
- Each pickup gives 1 Halloween Candy and spawns more candies ahead of you. A player has at most 25 candies out at once.
- Holding the Pumpkin Basket picks candies up at once; without it you hold the use key.
- When time runs out, the top 3 players get: 1st 3 Medium Loot Bag, 2nd 1 Medium Loot Bag, 3rd 1 Small Loot Bag.
- Candy combines into loot bags. What is in each loot bag.
- Scarecrows: players do 25% damage to a scarecrow's body; headshots are not reduced. A scarecrow's beancan does 10% damage to players. Across the whole server, scarecrows throw at most one beancan every 8 seconds.
- Halloween dungeon portals stay open for 10 minutes.
Methodology
Tested in game on our own server: the timers, spawn counts, rewards and damage settings this event uses by default. A server can change these. Tested on the current version of Rust.
