Halloween Event



[h2]Trick or Treat![/h2]

Well, it depends on how you look at it. For the next week, Timbergold Trails will be overrun with Werewolves (don't tell Doc he only has to deal with them for a week, it'll ruin the fun). Enjoy the twilight creepiness in TGT and pit your skills against the most savage animal in the EHR. Remember to hunt them with the "Wolfsbane" weapon variations (.308 handgun and Crossbow Pistol) and make sure you use silver ammo. Normal ammo and weapons will only annoy them. While you're out there, keep an eye out for the new and rather rare fur variation, the Golden Werewolf.

For those of you worried about doing Daily Missions with Werewolves terrorizing TGT, don't worry. Except for the Mule Deer, which can be found on other reserves, TGT animals will NOT have Daily Missions during the event.

Along with our Golden Werewolf, there's a new Van Helsing Hat for hardcore Werewolf hunters in the store. You may notice an increase in Werewolf attraction while wearing this hat... You have been warned.

We've also added some stunning moonlight during the trophy shots in TGT, so the final pictures are much lighter and more visible now. If you're inclined to some fancy moonlit shots, you can also pick up some predefined Werewolf Trophy Poses to keep your photo shoots short and sweet.

So bring down those Werewolves, bag some TGT animals and complete the Werewolf Mission Pack in TGT. Take a break in between with the three competitions taking place in other reserves.

Participate for the prizes, the trophies, and the glory! The hunter with the most Treat$ at the end of November the 2nd will win a generous first prize!

In order to take part in the event, you will have to click on the big banner you will find in the Launcher (or Website) home page:



Please read on to familiarize yourself with the rules of the event.

CALENDAR


Event Duration: 7 days

Start: 27th Oct 2021 (Wednesday) - morning

End: 2nd Nov 2021 (Tuesday) - 23.59 UTC



CAMPAIGN


There are Skull collectibles this time around, but we're also awarding points for harvesting Werewolves and other animals in Timbergold Trails.





This is how the prize pool looks:



MISSION


This year's mission is called Dances with Werewolves

Every year! Where are these marauding beasts coming from? There must be source. We need to find it. There's probably an Alpha somewhere creating them, right?

We'll have to keep their numbers down until we can find the Head Mankiller, though. Be careful, Hunter, they're all over the place and they're mean. Make sure you harvest, you have to separate the head and heart to make sure it won't get back up.


The mission will last through the event's duration from the 27th Oct to the 2nd Nov.



Completing it will earn the hunter the following rewards:



COMPETITIONS


Those Werewolves chill me to the bone. Let's hold our Competitions somewhere safer, shall we? The event comes with three competitions each lasting 3 days!

Prizes for the competitions look like this:



Completing each competition in any place (just qualify!) will also award the hunter 100 Treat$ points.

Each competition comes with 7 tiers based on your Hunter Score:



RULES


What would a game be without rules?

We have one simple rule for our events: No exploitation of existing game mechanics to gain an advantage. All winners' hunts will be checked by EW staff prior to prizes being rewarded, and the decision will be final.

In case of exploits usage, EW has a right to disqualify the player from this event.

SALES


We've got some cool sales for this event in the Store, including a juicy 50% discount on some Callers as well as 30% off a variety of weapons.

Make sure to check out the Sale section to see the full list!



That's all folks, any questions, feel free to post them below.

Enjoy all!

Game Update



Howdy!


When we monitor our communication channels (Forum, Steam, Discord, Facebook, and others) we're so proud of how kind and helpful our community is (another huge thanks for that!). Any new player gets proper suggestions and advice instantly. On the other hand, we felt guilty we weren't so helpful ourselves, as Classic is quite difficult for new players. Therefore, we decided we needed to do our bit too, and we started with re-doing the Tutorials from scratch. For now, we are glad to present two brand new tutorials to you: The Basics and Tower Usage, to be followed by a few others which are in progress and will be added later. We hope it will help our new players understand the game's hunting techniques better and grow our beloved community!

Please note that this update is bigger than usual due to some small internal changes that have caused Steam to recalculate a few extra files... We've done what we can to mitigate the size but unfortunately, we can't reduce it any further.

That's all for now!

Happy Hunting!
