Rocket League’s Haunted Hallows 2020 event celebrates all things Ghostbusters, and brings new event challenges, limited time modes, and more.
Event Challenges unlock Ghostbusters and Halloween-themed items, including the Ghostbusters Wheels, Slimer Topper, and Mood Slime Boost, as well as Golden Pumpkins with Turbo, Nitro, and Vindicator items. Completing all of the Challenges gets you the complete Ghostbusters set. Haunted Hallows also brings two new time limited modes with Haunted Heatseeker in the new Haunted Urban Arena and Spike Rush, found on night map variants. Lastly, the Item Shop will offer Ghostbusters items, as well as those from past Haunted Hallows events, including Stay Puft and Reaper Goal Explosions, as well as the Ecto-1 — the first licenced car to come back to the shop.
Haunted Hallows 2020 kicks off today, October 20th, at 9am PDT / 4pm UTC, ending on November 2nd at 6pm PDT / 1am November 3rd UTC. The devs say Spike Rush, the second time limited mode, goes live on October 26th while Haunted Heatseeker will be live alongside the event later today. A patch also just went live. It seems to be a relatively small one — you can read the full patch notes below for all the changes — but its new content involves Season 1 Series Blueprints becoming available as drops after online matches.
