The Delta Force Halloween event is live from October 23 to November 9, 2026, and it runs across every game mode simultaneously. There are free weapon skins, a new in-match mechanic in Operations, a vehicle combat mode in Warfare, and a paid lucky draw that outlasts the season. Here's everything you need to earn the most before the clock runs out.

When does the Delta Force Halloween event end?
The Halloween Update deployed on October 22, 2026 with no server downtime. Events opened the following day and most of them close on November 9, the final day of Season Reorientation. Two dates break that pattern.
Detonation Supplies: First Scare ends October 29. That's 11 days earlier than everything else, so Detonation players need to prioritize it first.
The Pumpkin Reaper lucky draw runs until November 21, which means it survives the season by 12 days. Everything else, including the Trickster Store itself, closes with the season.

What is Raven's Deal and how does it work?
Raven's Deal is the Operations half of Halloween, and it comes in two distinct parts.
Raven's Deal: First Call is the new in-match mechanic. The official description calls it "a mysterious surprise" that rewards "designated exploration and activity missions." Players who tried it in the first 24 hours describe the same loop: find Raven's spot on the map, place an item, and Raven either swaps it for something of higher rarity or takes it and gives nothing back.
A few patterns from early player reports worth knowing:
- The trade appears to go up one rarity tier at most. One player put it plainly: you cannot get red-tier items from purple offerings, only one tier up.
- It is a gamble. Some players turned a purple item into a gold bar; others offered items and Raven left with nothing returned.
- The practical tip from event threads is to loot cheap purples early in a match and offer those first rather than the gear you actually need to extract.
Team Jade has not published odds or a reward table for the trade. Any claim about "guaranteed" upgrade tiers is speculation.
Raven's Deal (the second part) is a simpler grind. Complete successful extractions with supplies above a designated value threshold, shown in the in-game mission list, and finish activity missions to stack Major Event Tokens.

What are all the Trickster Store rewards?
The Trickster Store has three separate entries, one per mode. The core cosmetics appear in all three. The extras differ by mode.
| Reward | Operations | Warfare | Detonation |
|---|---|---|---|
| P90 - Ahsarah Wraith | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Lever-action Rifle - Graffiti Art | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| KC-17 - Graffiti Art | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Charm - Mischief Maker | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Calling Card - Halloween | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Avatar - Halloween | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Spray Paint - Quacking Scary (Stinger, Quacking Scary, Vlinder) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Tactical Armament Voucher | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Premium + Intermediate Weapon EXP Tokens, 2x EXP Card | No | Yes | No |
| Action - Synergy | No | No | Yes |
| Avatar - Clear Broth Pot, Avatar - Army Stew | No | No | Yes |
The P90 - Ahsarah Wraith is the standout cosmetic and the skin Team Jade used for the store banner. The Tactical Armament Voucher is the one non-cosmetic item on every list. Check what it unlocks in game before spending tokens on cosmetics you care less about. If you play Detonation, the Clear Broth Pot and Army Stew avatars are a second shot at two avatars that appeared in earlier October events.
How do you earn Major Event Tokens fastest?
Pick the mode you play well. All token sources run the full 18 days except Detonation's First Scare event, so there is no reason to grind a mode you dislike.
Operations players have two active sources: Raven's Deal: First Call rewards exploration and activity missions, while Raven's Deal rewards successful high-value extractions. Normal Loot and Extraction missions also contribute. Running these on a map you know cuts down on deaths and wasted runs.
Warfare players have three sources running simultaneously:
- Overload Challenge: play Overload mode and complete the listed challenges.
- Hill of Iron: a limited vehicle combat mode open for the full event duration.
- Halloween Merit: play Battlefield Ranked mode and complete match missions.
Stack Halloween Merit with the Weekend Merit Boost on October 24 and 25, when your first three Grade Matches award double Merit. That window has already passed if you're reading this after the weekend, but it was the fastest single burst of tokens available.
Detonation players earn Candy Tokens instead of Major Event Tokens, from match missions including finishing matches, planting bombs as a team, and securing wins. Candy Tokens only work in Detonation's Trickster Store entry. The two currencies do not convert.
This week only (October 23 to 29): Expert Choice asks you to complete missions using the P90 and KC-17, which are the same two guns with Trickster Store skins. Completing it pays Weapon EXP Tokens and an Armament Voucher on top of your normal token grind.
Is the Pumpkin Reaper draw worth it?
The Pumpkin Reaper lucky draw is the paid side of Halloween. Find it under Store, then Top Pick, then Pumpkin Reaper, from October 23 to November 21.
The rules from the patch notes: it is a non-replacement draw with no duplicate rewards in a single round. A new round unlocks once you clear one. The first draw costs 10 Delta Coins or Delta Tickets. Hit the grand prize in any round and you receive one Pumpkin Reaper weapon appearance at random, plus every uncollected reward from that round.
The series covers three weapons: QCQ171, VSS, and G18, plus an Avatar, Calling Card, Charm, Spray Paint, a TurBrick - Deltaversary Gifts item, and a Premium Weapon EXP Token.
One thing to check before spending: Delta Coins and Delta Tickets are not the same currency. Delta Coins require real money. Delta Tickets come from events. The post prices only the first draw and does not confirm whether limited-time Delta Tickets from the anniversary giveaway count. Check the draw screen before assuming your tickets work.
Because the grand-prize skin is randomly selected from three guns, do not plan around getting a specific one.
The Breaking the Mold bundle (CI-19 skin, Avatar, Calling Card, Spray Paint) goes on sale October 26 and leaves November 9.
How is this year's Halloween different from last year?
Halloween 2025 ran under the name Spooky Masquerade and included a SAW crossover. It had a Candy Shop, a free M7 Battle Rifle - Trickster login reward, a P90 - Halloween skin, and Billy-Wolf collectibles in Operations toolboxes. The login reward and SAW event ran until December 3, 2025.
The key difference in 2026 is the timeline. The store closes with the season on November 9 instead of running into December. That is 11 fewer days than last year's main event window. Do not assume you have extra time.
| Halloween 2025 | Halloween 2026 | |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Spooky Masquerade + SAW collab | Raven's Deal + Trickster Store |
| Window | Oct 23 – Nov 17 (challenges), Dec 3 (login + SAW) | Oct 23 – Nov 9 (store + token events) |
| Operations twist | Billy-Wolf toolbox collectible | Raven's Deal: First Call offering mechanic |
| Shop currency | Candy Tokens | Major Event Tokens (+ Candy Tokens in Detonation) |
| Headline free skin | P90 - Halloween | P90 - Ahsarah Wraith |
What bug fixes came with the Halloween update?
The October 22 update also shipped several fixes relevant to regular Operations play:
- The Hudson Guard helicopter could reach unbalanced positions. Fixed.
- In Polaris Patrol, Desmoulins's Threat Imaging System could reveal Operators underwater. Fixed.
- In Polaris Patrol, Desmoulins's squad could enter the match earlier than intended. Fixed.
- Certain pieces of cover allowed players to see through obstacles. Fixed.
- Some Operator models displayed incorrectly in the prisoner state. Fixed.
- The Security Director's Work Badge was occasionally not consumed when entering a match as a Polaris Squad. Fixed.
The Hudson helicopter fix is the one that matters most for regular players. If you run Space City and noticed squads holding positions that felt unreachable, that was the bug. For a full breakdown of the Hudson boss fight itself, the Delta Force Hudson boss fight guide covers the Bits drone tactics and the 30-second countdown.
Should you buy Halloween loot from other players?
No. Raven's Deal rewards high-value extractions, and that kind of loot is exactly what real-money traders move between accounts. Team Jade's security team has stated it will fully recover all Tekniq Alloys gained through unauthorized transactions, with permanent account bans and IP bans as additional penalties. A weekly enforcement post from October 5 to 11 listed 222,521 account bans and 144,890 confiscations for economic violations alone. The event runs 18 days. Earn the tokens yourself.
