In spite of Just Survive being retired, Daybreak Games are still forging ahead with H1Z1 and its Halloween event. In fact, the servers will be headed offline later today (11am EST for North America) and tomorrow (12am CEST for Europe) in order to bring the update online.
Hauntfest, as it’s called, will be available for players from October 23 to November 6. You’ll automatically unlock it just by logging in, and you can increase your Hauntfest Event Pass tier through the usual methods – by completing Challenges or increasing your Season Level.
Each tier you achieve will grant you Treat Crates, which can contain Hauntfest Event Pass Medals, Credits, or the brand new Dead Man’s Chest, which is filled with appropriately spooky skins. You’ll also find Treat Crates randomly around the world.
Some specifics about the Dead Man’s Chests: Common-tier items inside the Dead Man’s Chest are no-dupe, meaning that when you open a Dead Man’s Chest and it’s a common item, you won’t receive the same item again until you’ve unlocked all the other common items inside.
You’ll also potentially find Tactical Masks in the crates. Collect all 10, and you’ll automatically unlock an added bonus – the full Green Bone set! This set contains the Green Bone Skull Mask, Hoodie, Work Boots, Baggy Pants, Body Armor, and Magnum.
For more info on the event, you can check out the official site.
