Official Patch Notes

Valve's original post, fetched from the official Steam news. Not a third-party summary or translation.

  • As Halloween draws near, the residents of The Cursed Apple have put out some decorations to celebrate their favorite holiday. The Hideout gains a spooky new look, our heroes don masks, and NYC is now littered with pumpkins and curious Halloween Cauldrons that grant willing trick-or-treaters delicious candy.
  • As you walk down the streets of Manhattan during a match, you'll come across bubbling cauldrons boasting a tempting display of treats. With a Heavy Melee, break the cauldron to pick up a piece of Candy and stash it in your pocket for later. When you're feeling a bit snacky, you can consume the candy to grant yourself a boost of energy with the temporary Sugar Rush buff. - Who said candy is bad for you? The Halloween festivities are available in-game now through November 2nd, 2026. Happy Haunting! -------------------------------
