Don’t Miss Out on Free Crates in Rocket League’s Halloween Event

Rocket League has rolled out some new currency players can get their hands on for its Haunted Hallows Halloween event that’s been running since October 16. If you haven’t been saving up your candy corn than you better start because with it you’ll be able to open up any crate in the game using decryptors. Players can also use the new currency to purchase a slew of different rewards alongside the free decryptors; including toppers, decals, player banners, and more.

Earning the currency is incredibly simple, just participate in online matches, and complete them as well. I’d say go for whatever items you want the most first. But if you want my personal recommendation, definitely do yourself a favor and get the all of the free decryptors you can first. You’ll only be able to get three of them before the end of the event in November so make sure you go for them as quickly as possible so you can focus on whatever else you might want afterward.

The Haunted Hallows Rewards are as follows:

Topper(s)

●     Scarecrow Jack - 20 Candy Corn

●     Grave Robber - 20 Candy Corn

●     Gargoyle - 20 Candy Corn

●     Undying Love - 20 Candy Corn

Antenna

●     Arachnotenna - 10 Candy Corn

●     Shadow Witch - 10 Candy Corn

Decal(s)

●     BOO! - 20 Candy Corn

●     Twisted Tree - 40 Candy Corn

Rocket Boost

●     Hallowtide - 40 Candy Corn

Player Banner

●     Howler - 40 Candy Corn

Other

●     Decryptor - 50 Candy Corn

●     Haunted Hallows Crate - 50 Candy Corn

Every Haunted Hallows crate that you can purchase with real money will not require you to use a key to unlock it. You can buy the crates in bulk too. They’ll be unlockable as soon as the transaction is complete in-game. Furthermore, you’ll also be earning these crates as you usually do by playing the game naturally. It’s important to note that future events using Haunted Hallows Crates will not cause the earnable items in this year’s crate to change. So, if you’re not looking to spend money on any keys right now than you can totally wait it out until whenever. Purchased crates will also not be tradeable, but the items you can earn from them will be after a short period of time.

If you’ve never been too keen on spending money to get in-game cosmetic items in Rocket League, then the “Haunted Hallows” event will be perfect for dipping your feet into the wonderful world of crates. You can also use the free additional items you get to construct even better items to use when customizing your car in the garage.

The Haunted Hallows event is ending on November 6, so make sure you take advantage of the free goodies before it’s over. With the growing popularity of Rocket League, especially considering the game is launching on a new platform this holiday, Nintendo Switch, it’d be cool to see developer Psyonix do more events like the Haunted Hallows in the future. So those new players will still have a chance at earning more cosmetic goods all year round.

Rocket League is available now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

CS:GO New Updates: What To Expect From The Game’s Newest Patches

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has just received a couple new updates, and players around the world are wondering what changes they can look forward to. What do these patches bring to the table, and how do they change and/or improve gameplay? They may only be considered minor updates compared to the bigger patches that could change game features or mechanics, but they’re still noteworthy enough to be mentioned and discussed in a bit of detail. 

September 26 Update: Cheaper Weapons, Fix To Smoke Bug

For the September 26 CS:GO update, one of the first things you may notice is that a couple of the game’s weapons have become a bit more affordable. For starters, the Dual Elites are now priced at $400, and that means you can get your hands on this pistol option in the early goings,  The ubiquitous Revolver is also $100 cheaper as well, as you can now purchase this weapon for only $600.

In addition to the cheaper weapons, Valve has also squashed a rare, but rather annoying bug in the game, fixing the glitch where smoke grenades carom off to the opposite side after bouncing into fire, as if nothing had actually happened. This has proven to be quite a nuisance in CS:GO eSports tournaments, but with the September 26 CS:GO update, Valve has made it a point to extinguish the fire each time a smoke grenade bounces into it. These grenades can now bounce off to lower heights to extinguish flames, which should help in squashing the bug and improving gameplay going forward.

You also may have noticed that bug where bullets aren’t able to penetrate the arms of players. Valve has squashed that one as well, while also including some minor stability updates and cosmetic changes on top of the changes we mentioned above.

September 27 Update: New Options For Chinese Players

The September 27 CS:GO update appears to be more geared toward Chinese players than anyone else in the world, but it’s nonetheless important, as players in China can now opt to play the standard version of the game, while players in other parts of the world can conversely play the Perfect World version. The former is facilitated by the all-new “-worldwide” launch command, which allows Chinese players to play on servers located outside their home country, while the latter can be launched with the “-perfect world” command, which simply allows those outsides of China to enjoy CS:GO’s Perfect World in one go.

Meanwhile, this particular CS:GO update will also allow the game to launch in Perfect World mode by default for Chinese players. If you live in China and have your Perfect World and CS:GO accounts linked together, you can take advantage of the lower-latency Chinese game servers, and use the Perfect World CS:GO Launcher to compete against friends any time you wish.
