Trick-or-Treating
Throw on your best costume and go trick-or-treating in your neighborhood! Players may build the spooky candy bowl (available for free in the Atomic Shop ) at their C.A.M.P.s and fill it with mystery candy, a special Halloween candy corn. The candy bowl will only dispense to players wearing costumes, once per trick-or-treater, per hour, per bowl. C.A.M.P.s with placed spooky candy bowls will be marked with the candy bowl icon, regardless of whether or not the bowl contains mystery candy.

In addition to being dropped by Spooky Scorched, mystery candy may also be purchased from various vendors around Appalachia. It is best to stock up, because both daily and weekly challenges involving trick-or-treating will be running during the event.

Daring to eat a mystery candy will apply one of 5 effects at random:

Behind the scenes

Bugs

 * Spooky Scorched are not using outfits dedicated to be worn by Scorched. As a result, their hands look human.
 * Standard Scorched enemies may rarely spawn as Legendary enemies during the Spooky Scorched event. Although they may or may not be assigned the "Legendary" nameplate prefix, they will always have the ★ icon and drop Legendary items.
 * The 60 minute cooldown for taking candy from a specific spooky candy bowl is dispelled upon leaving the server.
 * Scrapping the spooky candy bowl will dispel the 60 minute timer for any applicable players on the server.
 * The popcorn machine cannot be crafted after unlocking it by completing the event challenge.
