The Medic, on receiving gifts.

The Haunted Halloween Gift is a special pickup which spawns during the 2010 Halloween Special Event in Mann Manor. It appears as a large, green gift box with a yellow ribbon. The player who collects the gift box will receive a random Halloween Mask, upon collecting all nine, one can craft the Saxton Hale Mask.

The gift will spawn at one of many predetermined locations on the map, five minutes into the round or five minutes after the previous gift was collected. An alert will be sent to all players when it appears in the map. The gift is translucent for the first few seconds after it spawns and cannot be picked up; this allows other players to move or kill anyone waiting for it to solidify. Another alert will be sent to all players once the gift is collected along with a cheering sound clip.

There must be a minimum of ten players on the server for the gift to appear. This only includes actual Steam clients, not bots.

Bugs

  • The gift can spawn in an inaccessible hallway, near the first control point, preventing players from reaching it. If uncollected the present will remain in location until the map changes.
  • Before the October 28, 2010 Patch, players could collect the Haunted Halloween Gift by flying over them in spectator mode.

Trivia

  • The gift has been confirmed to spawn in the RED spawn room.[citation needed]
  • If the gift spawns seconds before the round ends and nobody collects it before the teams switch sides, the gift will remain in place during the change.
  • It is possible to collect the gift during Humiliation.
