Rust – HALLOWEEN 2026

Summary

HALLOWEEN EVENT

The yearly Halloween event is now enabled!

Once roughly every two in-game days, the Candy Hunt event will begin.
You'll have 3 minutes to collect as much candy as you can, then top 3 players are given special loot bags as a reward. These candies and loot bags can be opened for various types of loot, ranging from scrap, all the way up to an M249!

If you don't make the podium, that's okay. The candies you collect can be upgraded for better loot!

This year's Halloween event will run until November 5th.

Awaken your new pet monster and control it by pressing "P". The monster will follow your orders without question. It'll follow you around the map, defend you if attacked and help slay foes you wish to attack.

If you're having trouble accessing the pet menu or already have a key bound to "P" then use the following console command:  bind X +pets or open the in-game controls menu.
