ElGamerWICHO reported that Gears of War: E-Day had released "Spooky Season," a limited-time Halloween and Day of the Dead update with modes, missions, rewards, and store packs. He detailed that the Trick-or-Treat mode was a variant of Crucible where players had to control the Jack-o-Cannon to score points and reach the 200 needed to win. The match consisted of a round of up to 25 minutes. The weapon reloaded faster and had a greater range than the Crucible core, he added. He also noted that pumpkins replaced the power weapons on the map and could contain special weapons or traps. ElGamerWICHO indicated that the temporary mission "Battling the Boogeyman" faced players against the Boogeyman, or Coco, and his minions with glowing pumpkin heads. He added that a shared capture showed the mission on Allfather difficulty. Regarding the rewards, he said they were obtained by participating in the temporary modes and missions, although the images did not specify the challenges or requirements to unlock them. He also described two legendary packs: "The Hero's End," for 2,000 iron, featuring a charred and incandescent soldier that Vraahk scorches with imulsion during the campaign, and "Day of the Dead," for 1,600 iron, featuring Lucas characterized with a skull face, hat, candles, and marigold flowers. According to the author, each pack included 17 items; the second contained weapon designs with skeleton, skull, and flower motifs. He specified that the prices were expressed in iron, the premium currency of the game, and corresponded to the amounts paid for both packs. ElGamerWICHO clarified that Coco and the Boogeyman were the same character and that the shared information did not detail how to unlock his appearance or when the event ended. He added that the update was already available and that he would soon publish more content about it. #Halloween #DiaDeMuertos #GearsOfWar (translated)
