You will see horrible things, you will hear horrible things and you will most definitely feel horrible things. Now, now... If you think a world filled with zombies is scary enough, it's time to revisit that part of your brain. No, zombies are not the scariest part of this story... Always be on your toes as anything can hit you from anywhere. From monsters, to ghosts, to witches, to demons. But the scariest part of it all, is and will always be. Humans. Yes... Humans will take everything you own. They will kill you on sight. They will hunt you down throughout the lands of Colorado, Caliwood, Oregon, Arizona and even on the peaceful island Tropico. I have one advice for you... Don't be afraid... Be terrified.      They're here...     [u]Halloween 2019![/u]   (Original Announcement: http://forums.fredaikis.com/index.php?/topic/8432-halloween-2019-event/)   Welcome to the official Halloween 2019 event announcement!   Before we jump into any event details let's make it clear over what period of time this event is taking place:   [u][b]Start: October 25, 12:00 PM (CEST) 2019.[/b][/u] [u][b]End: November 4, 12:00 PM (CEST) 2019.[/b][/u]   Now, let's jump into the details of the event:   [u][b]Double XP & GD:[/b][/u] [list] [*] During this Halloween event there will be separate Double XP & GD events per game-mode.

You can do this anywhere in any map at any time as long as you have 10 fingers in your inventory. It will remove the 10 fingers from your inventory and give you 1 Halloween 2019 Box. Fingers are spawning everywhere and drop from zombies, you have the highest chance of finding one of the Halloween secret spot(s). [b]Open World:[/b] Find 10 fingers and use them to trade for 1 Halloween 2019 box. You can do this only in the trading lounge (map) at any time as long as you have 10 fingers in your inventory. You'll have to open your missions and accept the trade in mission, it will tell you what to do. It will remove the 10 fingers from your inventory and give you 1 Halloween 2019 Box.
