Obtaining Scarechievements

For obtaining Ghostchievements from the Scream Fortress update, see Obtaining ghostchievements.

Attack o' Lantern Cause the deaths of 5 players by exploding nearby pumpkin bombs. Difficulty: Medium How to obtain: Try to get several of the enemies grouped together, as the bomb will do severe damage to all of them. The bombs will usually kill any class except a Heavy or Soldier in one solid hit. Keep your sights on pumpkin bombs near the busier areas such as by spawns and near the middle cap. Bombs located strategically around corners are also good for surprising pursuers.

Candy Coroner Collect 20 Halloween pumpkins from dead players to unlock a hat. Reward: Mildly Disturbing Halloween Mask Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: This achievement is rather sporadic so patience is the main requirement. There is roughly a 1/8 chance of a Halloween pumpkin being dropped by a player upon death. Remember that you can pick up pumpkins regardless of who killed the unfortunate victim that dropped it. If you're fast enough, you can even pick up candy that you dropped when you died yourself. Playing as a Scout may let you snatch those elusive pumpkins before slower classes can reach them. The pumpkins will also give you a short burst of Crits, which can be used to kill any nearby players and steal any other pumpkins they may drop.

Costume Contest Kill a Spy disguised as your current class. Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: This one is going to take some luck if you plan on getting it without help. Spycheck anyone of your class with extreme prejudice. Remember: It only has to be your class, not your name. Common Spy disguises to watch out for if you are playing the class are the Pyro, Sniper and Demoman. Note that unlike most of the other Scarechievements, this achievement can be completed on any map, not just the event version of Harvest.

Template:Dictionary/achievements/halloween/ghastly gibus grab-title Template:Dictionary/achievements/halloween/ghastly gibus grab-desc Difficulty: Varies depending on opponent How to obtain: Pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Pick out a player with the hat and alter your tactics specifically to kill him. Watch him carefully and be cautious about your health and surroundings. Note that unlike most of the other Scarechievements, this achievement can be completed on any map, not just the event version of Harvest. This achievement can be earned at any time of the year, not just during the Halloween event period.

Template:Dictionary/achievements/halloween/scared stiff-title Template:Dictionary/achievements/halloween/scared stiff-desc Difficulty: Easy How to obtain: The ghost wanders the map frequently along set routes, and though easy to avoid, players often stumble into him before fleeing in terror, especially when it moves through busy areas such as the center point. Wait for some helpless enemy to be scared, (the words "Yikes!" should appear over their head and they will exude ghost icons) then quickly finish them off in the few seconds you have before they recover. Attacks that finish opponents off quickly are your best bet, such as rockets, grenades and backstabs. Be careful not to be scared by the ghost yourself when attempting this.
