Alright folks, buckle up because the Rust Halloween Update for 2023 is upon us, and it’s a big one! The devs have thrown in a cauldron full of tricks and treats to keep us on our toes for the spooky season. Let’s break down what’s new and exciting in the world of Rust.
It’s Spooky Season in Rust!
First things first, a mandatory patch dropped at 2 pm EST on October 23rd, transforming Rust into a Halloween extravaganza. As soon as you hit that update button, you’re thrust into a world filled with eerie vibes and plenty of seasonal loot to grab.
Portals to Another World
Now, this is where it gets interesting. The game map is littered with mysterious portals that whisk you away to dungeon-like caves. There are over 15 different layouts, so each journey through a portal feels fresh and challenging. Inside, you’re up against scarecrow NPCs and hunting for loot before making your way back out. It’s a thrilling little side adventure that spices up the gameplay.
Frankenstein Pets: A Crafty Companion
Remember those Frankenstein pets from previous events? They’re back, and better than ever. Gather parts from Mummy and Scarecrow NPCs, hit up the Frankenstein table (which is a default blueprint, by the way), and start crafting your undead buddy. You can choose from light, medium, or heavy builds, each with their own unique perks. Mix and match to your heart’s content!
Dress to Impress: Dracula Style
Get into the Halloween spirit with the new Dracula Mask and Dracula Cape. These additions are perfect for roaming the Rust landscape in style while you hunt for loot and take on your adversaries.
Carvable Pumpkins: Unleash Your Inner Artist
The carvable pumpkins are making a comeback, and they’re as fun as ever. Grab a pumpkin, carve out a spooky face, light it up, and set the mood for your Rust adventure.
Beware of the Scarecrows and Mummies
The game world is now crawling with Spooky Scarecrows and Mummies, adding an extra layer of challenge (and loot opportunities) to your journey.
Trick or Treat: Race Against Time
The Trick or Treat event is back, and it’s a race to collect as much Halloween Candy as you can. The top collectors are in for some sweet rewards, so get out there and start hunting!
Upgrade Your Loot
Speaking of Halloween Candy, you can upgrade it to different loot bags, unlocking a variety of rewards ranging from snacks to weapons.
Halloween Resources: It’s All in the Details
Even the resources scattered around the map have gotten a Halloween makeover. Wood, stone, ore, and bones are all themed for the season, adding a little extra flair to your resource gathering.
