Halloweeks Candy Event

The Halloweeks Candy Event is one of the main Halloween activities to watch in October. Players can collect event candies, complete available missions, and work toward limited-time rewards. The exact collection requirements and reward conditions depend on the event rules shown in-game.

How to Trade Candies via the Pumpkin Candy Box

During Classic Matches, you and your squadmates can exchange candies directly on the battleground using the Pumpkin Candy Box.

• Trading Prompts: Look out for interactive prompts such as "Take the candy", "Give me the candies", and "Already gifted candy to this".

Can't see the Collect button? Try switching back to your weapon or putting away the candy item, then check the nearby interaction prompts again. If the button still doesn't appear, make sure the candy is available to collect and that the interaction conditions have been met.

Unlocking the Pumpkin Gift Card

The primary goal for many players during the Halloweeks event is acquiring the rare Pumpkin Gift Card.

• Collect 8 Special Candies: Accumulate the required unique Special Candies through match trades and draw mechanics.
• Track Duplicate Drops: Check your Event Center regularly to monitor which candy types you own and whether duplicates contribute toward your target.
• Claim Your Rewards: Once all required candies are registered, redeem the Pumpkin Gift Card for exclusive event cosmetics.

5-Draw Guaranteed Pity System

To help players acquire Special Candies faster, the candy draw interface features a built-in pity mechanic:

• Guaranteed Drop: Every 5 draws, players are guaranteed to receive at least 1 Special Candy.
• Draw Strategy: Instead of spending candies individually as soon as you get them, save your event currency to perform 5-draw batches. This guarantees steady progress toward your Pumpkin Gift Card.

Daily Candy Missions

You can farm free event currency through simple daily playtime missions:

• 50-Minute Playtime Goal: Accumulate 50 total minutes of game time within a single day to claim 5 free candies from the Event Center.
• Daily Reset Warning: Unclaimed mission rewards do not roll over to the next day. Be sure to manually collect your candies before the daily reset.

 

Sanguine Sonata Gilt Set

A new look is joining PUBG Mobile's Halloween lineup on October 25, 2026. The Sanguine Sonata Gilt Set brings a distinctive style to the game's limited-time cosmetic offerings, with an interactive feature that lets players change the color of its socks.

The set is accompanied by an upgradable DP-28, giving players another cosmetic to look out for during the Halloween event period.

If you're planning to pick it up, check the in-game event page once it goes live for the draw cost, reward pool, and any guaranteed-reward rules. (For a full breakdown of all set features, don't miss our Sanguine Sonata Set guide.)

 

PDP Lucky Spin

The PDP Lucky Spin features a separate lineup of character outfits and weapon cosmetics, giving players another draw event to check out during the Halloween period.

The featured items include the Dungeon Bandit Set, Nightingale Assassin Set, Revenant Puppet Set, and Otherworld Skeleton - MK12. If any of these catch your eye, take a look at the available reward pool before spending UC.

How Does the PDP Lucky Spin Work?

The first draw of the day is listed at 10 UC, making it a lower-cost way to try your luck at the available rewards. However, the discounted draw does not guarantee a specific outfit or weapon skin.

Keep in mind that PDP Lucky Spin operates separately from the Halloweeks Candy Event. Candy collected through Halloween activities should not be assumed to work in the PDP draw, and UC spent on PDP Lucky Spin does not automatically advance your candy collection.

 

Midnight Hunters

For battle royale purists, Midnight Hunters transforms Erangel into a horror-infused warzone populated by undead threats and high-tier loot.

To gain the upper hand in Midnight Hunters, securing the Twilight Bat Wings is essential. Obtaining this high-mobility ability is straightforward: start by heading to one of the themed Vampire Hunter Guild hubs on the map, defeat the guarding Bloodwalker enemies inside, and activate the dark altar device. Once unlocked, the wings grant your character aerial mobility that can help you easily dominate high-ground positions during the late game.

• Core Mobility Skills: Enables hovering, rapid forward dashes, and vertical disengages.
• Skill Duration: The bat flying skill remains usable for most of the match, typically lasting until the 6th Zone (third-to-last circle), making it a game-changing tool for rotations and fire fights.

Vampire Bosses & Special Encounters

Prepare your squad before entering themed zones, as you will encounter aggressive PvE enemies:

• Bloodwalkers & Nightbats: Fast-moving minion creatures that drop essential ammo, heals, and event items.
• Vampire Elder & Nightkeeper: High-health bosses that yield top-tier crate loot and special abilities upon defeat.

 

Pumpkin Brainrots: A Limited-Time Halloween Hunt

Halloween brings a fresh twist to Brainrot Royale in PUBG Mobile’s World of Wonder. Version 4.6 adds pumpkin-themed scenery, new collectible Brainrots, and a Ghost Ship event that makes collecting rare characters more exciting.

Players can discover 6 Shining Brainrots and 8 Pumpkin Brainrots, with additional content arriving weekly. The update also raises the level cap to Lv. 25 and expands backpack capacity to 64 Brainrots. Fusing duplicates improves their star level, size, and Gold production.

How to Collect Pumpkin Brainrots

Watch for the Ghost Ship’s Ghost Bullets, which can mutate Brainrots into Pumpkin variants, or explore Pumpkin Eggs in the Boss Room. These special Brainrots are exclusive to Version 4.6, so make the most of the event before the next update. You can find Brainrot Royale in World of Wonder using Map ID 28321182.

 

Feast of Shadows: Home Mode Hide-and-Seek

The Feast of Shadows event brings asymmetrical party gameplay directly into your Home Mode.

• Seekers: Hunt down hidden specters around the estate to earn Search Points.
• Specters: Disguise yourself as household objects, scare approaching seekers, and accumulate Fright Points.
