Halloween Event 2026

Hey Survivors,

October is slowly coming to an end, which means the spookiest time of the year is approaching! We’re happy to announce that our annual Halloween event is coming on three maps: Chernarus, Livonia, and Sakhal. The event with run from 26th of October to the 6th of November.

Nasdara will not be getting the Halloween event.  Speaking of Nasdara, to celebrate the launch of DayZ Badlands, it’s now on sale for up to 10% off! Get it while it’s “hot”!

Here’s what you can expect from the event on the three maps:

• The Castle, haunted by spooky fog

• The Mummy Infected, Jack O’ Infected, and Witch Infected

• Decaying player characters

• Cosmetic items such as the leaf crown, witch hat, witch hood, pumpkin helmet, and more

Event assets will spawn differently depending on the map. Check out the infographic for more details!
