Halloween Event 2021
Trick or Treat!
Well, it depends on how you look at it. For the next week, Timbergold Trails will be overrun with Werewolves (don't tell Doc he only has to deal with them for a week, it'll ruin the fun). Enjoy the twilight creepiness in TGT and pit your skills against the most savage animal in the EHR. Remember to hunt them with the "Wolfsbane" weapon variations (.308 handgun and Crossbow Pistol) and make sure you use silver ammo. Normal ammo and weapons will only annoy them. While you're out there, keep an eye out for the new and rather rare fur variation, the Golden Werewolf.
For those of you worried about doing Daily Missions with Werewolves terrorizing TGT, don't worry. Except for the Mule Deer, which can be found on other reserves, TGT animals will NOT have Daily Missions during the event.
Along with our Golden Werewolf, there's a new Van Helsing Hat for hardcore Werewolf hunters in the store. You may notice an increase in Werewolf attraction while wearing this hat... You have been warned.
We've also added some stunning moonlight during the trophy shots in TGT, so the final pictures are much lighter and more visible now. If you're inclined to some fancy moonlit shots, you can also pick up some predefined Werewolf Trophy Poses to keep your photo shoots short and sweet.
So bring down those Werewolves, bag some TGT animals and complete the Werewolf Mission Pack in TGT. Take a break in between with the three competitions taking place in other reserves.
Participate for the prizes, the trophies, and the glory! The hunter with the most Treat$ at the end of November the 2nd will win a generous first prize!
In order to take part in the event, you will have to click on the big banner you will find in the Launcher (or Website) home page:
CALENDAR
Event Duration: 7 days
Start: 27th Oct 2021 (Wednesday) - morning
End: 2nd Nov 2021 (Tuesday) - 23.59 UTC
CAMPAIGN
There are Skull collectibles this time around, but we're also awarding points for harvesting Werewolves and other animals in Timbergold Trails.
And this is how the prize pool looks:
MISSION
This year's mission is called Dances with Werewolves
Every year! Where are these marauding beasts coming from? There must be source. We need to find it. There's probably an Alpha somewhere creating them, right?
We'll have to keep their numbers down until we can find the Head Mankiller, though. Be careful, Hunter, they're all over the place and they're mean. Make sure you harvest, you have to separate the head and heart to make sure it won't get back up.
The mission will last through the event's duration from the 27th Oct to the 2nd Nov.
Completing it will earn the hunter the following rewards:
COMPETITIONS
Those Werewolves chill me to the bone. Let's hold our Competitions somewhere safer, shall we? The event comes with three competitions each lasting 3 days!
Prizes for the competitions look like this:
Completing each competition in any place (just qualify!) will also award the hunter 100 Treat$ points.
Each competition comes with 7 tiers based on your Hunter Score:
RULES
What would a game be without rules?
We have one simple rule for our events: No exploitation of existing game mechanics to gain an advantage. All winners' hunts will be checked by EW staff prior to prizes being rewarded, and the decision will be final.
In case of exploits usage, EW has a right to disqualify the player from this event.
SALES
We've got some cool sales for this event. A number of items will be on sale in the Store, including a juicy 50% discount on a lot of Callers as well as 30% off a variety of weapons.
Make sure to check out the Sale section to see the full list!
That's all folks, any questions, feel free to post them below.
Enjoy all!

Re: Halloween Event 2021
Glad to see this event return again. While I prefer a realistic hunting game overall, it's always a blast to try something different for a week. I hope I get the chance to get out there for a few hunts. I'm particularly interested in seeing one of these new golden werewolves!

Re: Halloween Event 2021
So it's clear. I won't have to deal with werewolves unless I enter the competition?

Re: Halloween Event 2021
For hunting werewolves, is it better to buy the pistol versus the crossbow pistol?
Is there any advantage in being quiet with werewolves, and can you get close enough (within 20m) for the crossbow pistol to be effective?
This event is new to me, so I have no idea whether you need to quietly stalk werewolves, or simply walk about hoping to be attacked? Also, does shot placement matter, or is it enough to hit them with any silver ammo?

It depends. The pistol will spook them. So if you want to harvest more of them the crossbow pistol won't scare them away.jttoo wrote:For hunting werewolves, is it better to buy the pistol versus the crossbow pistol?

They will find you! You just have to find tracks or listen for howling & go that direction.
Shot placement is critical. They are hard to kill even with the silver ammo.
Pro-Tip: Wear the hockey mask!
It's "Tod", with one bloody 'd'!

Re: Halloween Event 2021
Stealth doesn't work. Just run around whistling and they will find you. Either weapon works well but you have to make a good shot. Head or heart will drop them in their tracks. lungs they will run but die. Stomach they will run a really long way but might attack again but should usually die. Body shot is no different than a miss except you might get some blood to track.jttoo wrote:For hunting werewolves, is it better to buy the pistol versus the crossbow pistol?

Best way for new players is to stick to the roads and when you hear one attacking, get in a good flat spot and aim in his direction. Headphones are a must have.

Re: Halloween Event 2021
Do werewolves eventually bleed-out from the crossbow pistol?
If you wear the mask, do they now hunt you? Could you put the mask on and then enter a treestand or tripod stand, and shoot them as they come for you?
Wow! the Wolfsbane Crossbow Pistol costs 17k GMs!!
I guess I should have bought this version rather then the regular version......darn.
