Rocket League Gets Spooky With New Halloween Event Next Week

3.9
Are you afraid of things that go bump in the night? Well, don’t be – that’s just one of the Rocket League cars trying to score a goal.

Psyonix has laid out their master plans for this year’s Rocket League Halloween event, and there’s lots of tricks and treats to go around. The event will kick off on October 16th and run through November 6th, and will provide players ample opportunities to score some free Halloween goodies, including…candy corn currency? Yep, you can apparently use candy corn to buy stuff now.

Here’s the lowdown straight from the publisher on what to expect over the next few weeks:

“Our Event system introduces a new limited-time currency, with the first being Candy Corn! All you need to do to earn it is to play (and complete) Online Matches. In order to use Candy Corn, simply click the ‘Special Event’ button on the main menu screen. From there, you can redeem whatever you’ve earned to claim Halloween Items, Decryptors, and Locked “Haunted Hallows” Crates.

Candy Corn can be spent throughout the Event, and will expire one week after Haunted Hallows is over, but don’t worry — Items purchased with Candy Corn DO NOT expire at the end of the event, and will remain in your inventory forever!

Our new ‘Haunted Hallows’ Event Crates are only available during the Haunted Hallows event, and there are three ways to get them. As always, you can get a new Crate as a drop after some Online Matches, and you can also buy the Crate using Candy Corn. In both cases, you can open the Crate with a Key or a Decryptor. We’re also letting you buy Event Crates directly, similar to how you buy Keys, and any purchased ‘Haunted Hallows’ Crate will not require a Key or Decryptor to unlock. Purchased Crates will not be tradeable, but items from purchased crates can be traded after the normal seven-day trade hold window.

Finally, the Haunted Hallows Event Crates will not be updated for next Halloween. If you decide to wait a year to open one of these Crates, it will still have the same potential item inside as it does during this event.”

So, yes, there are Loot Crates, but you can use candy corn to buy them instead of real money – and you probably don’t need candy corn after October ends anyway, right?

Rocket League is available now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, and will come to Nintendo Switch later this year.

Only the items can be traded. Not the physical crate itself.
