Halloween 2024 preview

[h2]Hello Miners,[/h2]

Shellback, Stingtail, Core Spawn, Cave Leech /
Grabber, Guard, a Glyphid with no conscience /

Question, what do these things have all in common?

Everybody knows I’m a motherfit’s almost time for Hoxxes Halloween 2024!

You heard it here first: the seasonal spook-tacular is coming back! Hoxxes Halloween 2024 kicks off on Thursday, October 24th at 13:00 CET, and it’ll run until Thursday, November 7th. It’s the most terrifying thing to happen to Deep Rock Galactic since that one time a random joined your lobby, ordered a full round of Leaf Lover’s Special, and then left.

Let’s take a ghastly glimpse at the horrors that await you.

The full moon shines with an ominous glare, its frigid light taking a hostile sheen as it filters through the Space Rig bay window. You feel the hair on your neck stand up, your skin itching with a restless violence. A sharp animal rage flares through your limbs. What is this madness?

Not to worry! It’s simply a harmless side effect of the asbestos fireproofing used in the new Creeper Wolf Mask headgear, which you can unlock during this year’s Halloween event. All you have to do is complete a special assignment, and this completely harmless hat is yours to keep!

Is this your first Hoxxes Halloween? Have you been too terrified to step foot in the caves during previous years? Not to worry, you’ve got the chance to earn all the Halloween cosmetics from past events. And this year, we’re pretty sure we didn’t forget to include the jack-o-lantern hat! Complete the Last Year’s Horrors assignment, and this creepy clutch of headgear will be yours forever.

[h3]Skulls! Shoot 'em![/h3]

In a disturbing turn of paranormal events, there seem to be cackling skulls flying around the caves. While alarming on a spiritual level, Management sees a golden business opportunity: These skulls represent a free source of valuable bone meal! Shoot down the skulls and deposit them during your mission, and we’ll reward your team with a double mission performance point bonus.

Please disregard any rumors that these skulls are the restless ghosts of former DRG employees. This is completely unfounded gossip, likely started by labor agitators to disrupt productivity. Remember: shoot first, ask questions never.

We’re getting the Space Rig all dressed up for Halloween!
We spent a lot of money on it, too. Here’s the budget for the decorations:

Bats $200
Pumpkins $150
Ghosts $800
Candles $3,600
Lights $150

Someone who is good at the economy please help us budget this better next time. Management is pissed

That’s all for now! Remember, Hoxxes Halloween 2024 kicks off on Thursday, October 24th at 13:00.
See you there – if you dare.

With Love,
