Engines of Fury, the blockchain-based PvPvE extraction shooter, has launched a Halloween event called Engines of Spooky. From October 29 through November 6 at 1 PM UTC, players hunt pumpkin-shaped enemies, gather Jack-o'-lanterns, and fight for NFT prizes tied to leaderboard performance. The event arrives shortly after the game's public debut on the Epic Games Store, which included a $1 million $FURY reward pool.
About Engines of Fury Halloween Event
Engines of Fury is a free-to-play title on the Epic Games Store that mixes PvPvE combat with extraction mechanics. Players drop into large maps like Fairwater and Cliffside to scavenge gear, battle mutated creatures or other players, and extract before time runs out. Die before escaping and everything collected drops for others to claim. Combat plays out in real time from a top-down view, with audio cues, mini-map pings, and restricted sightlines revealing nearby threats.
The game runs on a two-resource economy: ALLOY earned in matches converts to the main token, $FURY. Players spend $FURY on progression, in-game purchases, or marketplace trades. Between October 2024 and launch, Engines of Fury ran three closed playtests with $FURY and NFT rewards. The public release kicked off Season 2, bringing live events, competitive leaderboards, and active play-to-earn systems.
Pumpkin-Like Creatures and Jack-o'-Lanterns
Engines of Spooky transforms Stoneport with Halloween decorations, darker color grading, and moody lighting. Pumpkin-shaped enemies spawn randomly on Fairwater and Cliffside. Killing them drops Jack-o'-lanterns, which only register on the event leaderboard after safe extraction to your hideout. Get killed before extracting and you lose everything you carried.
Leaderboard rankings depend on total Jack-o'-lanterns stored in your hideout. The top 30 players earn rewards. First place takes home an Initiate's Pass NFT and a Rare Engine Core NFT. Second through twentieth get an Initiate's Pass NFT. Twenty-first through twenty-fifth receive a Faction Lockbox NFT. Twenty-sixth through thirtieth earn Medusal Stems.
Pumpkins behave unpredictably in combat. Some flee when damaged. Others turn aggressive if their health drops too far, forcing players to finish fights quickly. The event rewards smart time management and tactical play, since only extracted loot counts toward standings.
Available on Epic Games Store
Players download or update Engines of Fury through the Epic Games Store to join. Once in, they queue for matches, track down pumpkin enemies, and collect Jack-o'-lanterns. The event welcomes both new and returning players, letting everyone test the core extraction loop while competing for limited-time NFTs. Leaderboard spots depend entirely on in-game performance, making this a genuine free-to-play shot at NFT rewards with no pay-to-win shortcuts.
This is the first major themed event since Engines of Fury went public. Players interested in seasonal modes or top-down shooters have until November 6 to compete, with rewards distributed once the leaderboard locks.
