*Use faster classes such as the [[Scout]] to swipe them before others do, as all players can pick up any dropped pumpkins, regardless of who killed the player that dropped it.
 
*Close range classes such as the [[Pyro]] and the [[Spy]] are able to pick up their owed pumpkins shortly after killing their targets as they are closer to their targets than for example, the [[Sniper]].
 
*Try to melee enemies; You can get the pumpkin immediately when it drops.

They were introduced in Harvest Event and are found on all later Haunted Halloween maps (except Helltower, Graveyard and Perks). It is a glowing, hollowed-out pumpkin filled with two chocolate bars and candy corn that has a random chance of dropping from a killed player (or from destroying a fake prop left by Merasmus).

When picked up, it refills half ammo and metal and grants 3.2 seconds of Crit boost to the player who picked it up. Halloween Pumpkins dropped by fake Merasmus props are bigger and grants a longer Crit boost. Pumpkin packages are not team-based, and can be picked up by anyone.
