Something Strange Is Happening In Farmstead Arena…
Though locals have long warned against demoing once the sun goes down, a group of foolish teens has unleashed a long-buried horror from deep below. As the villains of classic horror franchises rise from the soil, brave players who survive their Challenges can earn horrifying rewards.
Play Spooky Cube and Heatseeker in the cursed Farmstead (Spooky) Arena to unlock Golden Pumpkins and Haunted Hallows Challenge Rewards. Still need the perfect spine-chilling soundtrack? Discover frightful Horror Villain Player Anthems in the Item Shop.
Be afraid! Your worst nightmares come to life from October 19 to November 1.
Spooky Souvenirs
Throughout Haunted Hallows, players can complete Haunted Hallows Challenges to unlock rewards inspired by iconic horror movies. Hardcore horror fans will love the Jigsaw Blade Wheels and Sam’s Treat Wheels, while the Snazzy Skull Topper is perfect for those who prefer the fun side of our favorite spooky season.
Wanna Play? Chucky’s Good Guys Wheels will be your friend till the end! We just need to work out a couple of “technical issues” where they “come to life” and start “chasing players.”
Made from a very special kind of leather, the Leatherface’s Mask Decal will have you screaming with excitement. Just don’t ask us where we got it.
Let the games begin! The Billy The Puppet Decal will have you laughing all the way to the winner’s circle. Just don’t let your ego spiral out of control.
No Tricks, Just Treats
Sam has a different Rule #1 than players might be used to: ALWAYS give candy to trick-or-treaters.
In the ghoulish spirit of giving, players can earn Golden Pumpkins to unlock Items from the Velocity, Triumph, and Auriga Item Series’. Golden Pumpkins work just like previous Golden rewards—complete the Challenge up to five times to earn Golden Pumpkins, then open them in your Inventory to unlock items.
Most people are so ungrateful to be alive. But not you. Not anymore. After all, players can also pick up the free “Sole Survivor” Player Title in the Item Shop!
Enter The Item Shop
Nothing sets the mood quite like the perfect spooky soundtrack. This season, stock up on scares with Horror Villain Player Anthems from some of horror’s most iconic franchises. Need a little something extra to cut through the noise? The Billy The Puppet Goal Explosion will also be sold for 800 Credits!

We received some suggestions which we took on board. Also we fixed some stuff which were reported on our discord or from the automated crash logs that we received.
Highlights
Added
- Support for uploading screenshots to Steam. You can know press F12 (default key) and take a screenshot that you can share on Steam community.
Modified
- Tweaked time to drop something from inventory - Arrow packs and banana packs now need to picked up since it was annoying players to auto-pick up
Fixed
- Fixes related to crashes when doing an explosive on top of a cage. The developer didn't test that scenario... he is playing it wrongly it seems. - Do not allow to carry Egg in inventory. This was causing problems. Who carries a dragon egg anyway?! - Do not allow to put player in the vault when playing coop. LOL! Now this was funny! - Do not break stuff protected by cage when there's an explosion. Some players found a way how to pop out the object in the cage with an explosive.

The Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® II Campaign offers a multitude of rewards that can be used in Multiplayer and Special Ops, as well as in Call of Duty®: Warzone™ 2.0 when it launches later this year.
These items can be earned at any time by completing missions within the Modern Warfare® II Campaign.
However, through Campaign Early Access,* a benefit of digitally preordering Modern Warfare II, you can earn all these Campaign completion rewards before the full game is released.
In other words, if you take advantage of Campaign Early Access, all these Campaign completion rewards will be available to you in Multiplayer and Special Ops the moment Modern Warfare II officially launches on October 28, you can also opt-in via this post to receive a Steam notification when Campaign Early Access is ready to play.
This is everything you can unlock in chronological mission order:
Calling Card: “Soap’s Determination”
Emblem: “What’s Done Is Done”
30 Minute Double XP Token
30 Minute Double Weapon XP Token
Calling Card: “Chainlinked”
Base Operator: Chuy
30 Minute Double XP Token
30 Minute Double Weapon XP Token
Calling Card: “Gaz”
Base Operator: Nova
1 Hour Double XP Token
1 Hour Double Weapon XP Token
Calling Card: “Shadow Company Ops”
Base Operator: Reyes
1 Hour Double XP Token
1 Hour Double Weapon XP Token
Base Operator: Hutch
In addition to all of these rewards, completing the full Campaign awards you with the Union Guard Weapon Blueprint.
This Assault Rifle variant is Captain Price’s signature weapon that comes with four pre-equipped attachments: the Aim OP-V4 Reflex Optic, the SZ 1MW PEQ Laser, the FSS Covert V Silencer on the Muzzle, and the Lockgrip Precision-40 Underbarrel Vertical Grip.
These attachments make this Weapon Blueprint an all-around great Primary Weapon; it is an excellent starting point for players of all skill levels across all game modes. Compared to the base weapon, this Weapon Blueprint offers more stability when aiming, reduced vertical and horizontal recoil, and a clear sight picture among other benefits like sound suppression.
Again, Modern Warfare II’s Campaign completion rewards can be unlocked at any time, but you can earn them before the game’s official launch on October 28 through Campaign Early Access.
Digitally Preorder Now for Campaign Early Access
If you have not already done so, digitally preorder the game now to receive up to one week of Modern Warfare II Campaign Early Access and a head start on unlocking all of those Campaign completion rewards.
Digital preorders also get to preload both Campaign Early Access and the full game leading up to its launch.
Players who preorder the Vault Edition of Modern Warfare II will receive this benefit plus the Red Team 141 Operator Pack, FJX Cinder Weapon Vault,** Season 01 Battle Pass, and 50 Tier Skips.***
*One week based on estimated access; actual play time subject to possible outages and applicable time zone differences.
**Weapon Vault design limited to Weapon Vault contents at launch.
*** Battle Pass and Tier Skips, or equivalent versions, will be accessible in Modern Warfare II once the Season 01 Battle Pass, or equivalent system, is made available in-game. Battle Pass redemption applies to one season of Modern Warfare II Battle Pass, or equivalent system, only.

Welcome to the second of Camp Canyonwood's monthly content updates! This month the campgrounds have just gotten a whole lot spookier. Encounter strange creatures in the woods, hunt ghosts, and decorate your camp to look as spooky as possible!
New Features
Close Encounters
The night is dark and full of spookiness. This month's update adds more than twice as many Ghosts across the campgrounds to discover, who will now give a fright to campers who wander too closely. Additionally, rumor has it that Aliens have taken to scuttling around the Plateau woods on foot on certain nights, but that's totally unsubstantiated.
New Photography Badge Activities
Two new Badge Activities in the form of Paranormal Investigation and Wildlife Photography have been added this month, allowing any camper or counselor with a Camera to try their hand at snapping pictures of the campground's supernatural phenomena at night, or just the local wildlife if you're a normal person! (Though more dangerous creatures are worth more Badge XP!)
Camera available from Hooper after unlocking Hooper's Mystery Museum.
Spooky Decorations
There are 13 new spooky decorations available to customize your camp with! Available from Hooper after unlocking the Mystery Museum, you can now purchase items such as string lights, historical artifacts, spooky signage, cryptid plushies, and more!
Day & Night Spawns
Night activities got a lot more interesting! Only certain things can be found at night now, such as fireflies, moths, bears, and even new natural stargazing spots. Furthermore, certain wildlife will now be exclusively seen during the day, such as snakes and butterflies. The difference should feel, well, like day and night!
Changes and Fixes
A new Camper Archetype - "Ghost Kid" has been added!
Raccoons will now sometimes rummage through trash cans and empty their contents onto the floor in the process.
New evidence has been hidden on the map (found on the Plateaus).
New dialogue telling you that Hooper plans to open the museum the first time you meet him.
Added a tutorial message for the to-do list, activated the first time you get a Donation Quest.
Raccoons now seen mostly at night, and only rarely during the day near trails.
Campers can now cry (based on needs) and puke (when poisoned).
Poison berries/mushrooms now cause a small health drain over time when eaten.
Slowed down campers' movement speed when they are self assigning leisure time.
Beehives no longer spawn on the ground and instead will spawn randomly in Birch Trees. Beehives now only aggro when the tree is chopped down.
Added 2 potential fixes for campers duplicating tools in the tool shed.
Added many new feedback sound FX for campers and counselor (crying, puking, falling, failing, celebrating)
Improved Fencing Logic, now fences should be able to realign their neighbors' assets when knocked down.
