Halloween pumpkin
Halloween pumpkin
Pickup Type: Crit Boost

Halloween Pumpkins are a pick up item unique to the event version of Harvest and Mann Manor. They occasionally drop from killed players and grant around 3-4 seconds of Crit boost when picked up. Players who collect 20 of them during the annual Haunted Halloween Special will complete the Candy Coroner achievement, unlocking the Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask. The pumpkins only drop when the Haunted Halloween Special is active.

Strategy

  • Use faster classes such as the Scout to swipe them before others do, as any player 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 own 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.
  • If you manage to get one as a Demoman, try to set up a Critical Stickybomb wall to defend lots of territory with few bombs.
  • Try not to run straight for a Halloween Pumpkin after it drops. You might still be under attack. Make sure you are safe before attempting to grab it.
