Prizes
Prizes in Halloween Mayhem are awarded in the form of Mayhem Tokens, which can also be looted from event creatures in this and other Mayhem-style events. Mayhem Tokens can be exchanged for exclusive items via the Mayhem Token Trader, located in Cape Corinth, Port Atlantis and Twin Peaks on Planet Calypso.

Mayhem Tokens can be accumulated over the course of several events to purchase more expensive items, allowing participants to make incremental progress toward their desired rewards.

Mayhem Tokens are non-tradable, but the items available for purchase in the Mayhem Token Vendor are tradable. Note that certain Mayhem Token Vendor items may also require special Placement Mayhem Tokens, awarded as event prizes, in order to be purchased.


Mayhem Annihilation Gameplay
Interact with the winged statue inside the Annihilation event instance to begin spawning zombies and start the mission timer; the timer pauses automatically when leaving the instance.

Eliminate Halloween Zombie Mutants to accumulate as many points as possible in 15 hours.

A random number of points (0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, or 5000) is automatically awarded after defeating one of the event instance mutants.

Once your 15-hour run is complete, your score is finalized and recorded. You can then start a new run to try to improve upon your previously-recorded score. The score from a new run is only recorded if it is higher than the previously-recorded score.

You can only have a recorded score in a single category at a time. Recording a new score with higher points (regardless of category) will replace any previously-recorded score.

The top ten highest scorers (most accumulated points) in each category win prizes.


Practice Annihilation
There is also a Practice Annihilation mode, which is not part of the competition. This mode allows teams of up to 4 players to enter and has no skill requirement restrictions. Players can also enter without a team.

Practice Annihilation mode will allow hunters to try out different categories and hunt for Mayhem tokens and Halloween Strongboxes at their leisure. The creatures in Practice Annihilation are Shared Loot. Practice Annihilation opens October 30, 14:00 UTC

Mayhem Survival Gameplay
Survive for as long as you can against increasingly dangerous stages of Zombie Mutants and Dogs.

Dying, disconnecting or leaving will end the instance. Score will be recorded at the moment of disconnect/death.

You can only have a recorded score in a single category at a time. Recording a new score with higher points (regardless of category) will replace any previously-recorded score.

Each stage consists of 10 phases. On phases 3, 6 and 9 there will be a capture point that must be reached within 45 seconds, and held for 15 seconds. Failing hold the capture point ends the instance.

Randomly placed pumpkins containing various buffs appear periodically. Beware that some pumpkins are tricks, rather than treats, and will result in a debuff instead.

Volatile Barrels - Destructible objects that deal damage to all nearby enemies. PED spent on destroying the barrel is transferred to the loot of creatures damaged by the explosion.

Survival Practice Area - Loot Halloween Strongboxes while practicing! Same layout and features as the competitive survival instances. Team is required to enter (but one can be solo in the instance). If any team member dies inside the instance or leaves, the instance is ended.

Survival Mode has multiple sound cues, so it is advantageous to have sound enabled.

Practice Survival
There is also a Practice Survival mode which is not part of the competition. This mode allows teams of up to 4 players to enter and has no skill requirement restrictions.

In Practice Survival mode it is necessary to be part of a team to enter. A team may consist of 1 to 4 players. Once inside the instance the team may be disbanded.

Practice Survival mode will allow hunters to try out different categories and hunt for Mayhem tokens and Halloween Strongboxes at their leisure. The creatures in Practice Survival are Shared Loot. Practice Survival opens November 2, 14:00 UTC

So this means the boxes won't be for sale in the shop? I've never looted boxes before, as I understand it you have to buy the keys to open them right?

So basically after buying all my ammo for the event, I then have to buy my loot?

The seasonal boxes aren't in webshop for over a year now. If you loot boxes yourself and buy the keys from webshop then nothing changes for you compared to if you just bought them from the shop. And you of course can buy them from other people but then you pay additional markup.

Last year the boxes were plenty, still have lots in storage that now worth nothing.
 
I don't see Classified Strongboxes in WebShop...

Except of course for the people who buy them to get ammo to shoot the mobs, to loot the boxes :p

Why would they be worth nothing? They still have the same stuff in them.

The new boxes are called "Halloween Strongboxes 2018" so there is no chance for the new rings from old boxes, and if there is a cap on amount of other stuff like pills, then the pool of old boxes won't be replenished. They are keys to different doors.

People have looted rings from old boxes. I don't think there is a cap. I think MA stated this somewhere but don't remember where.
 
Wait. U can both abandon the mission at any time AND restart unlimited after 15 hours? WTF nolifer event!

Yea I took a break for a while, last I played boxes weren't lootable or anything.

It's a bit poopy because I was purposely waiting to buy a bunch of Halloween boxes for ammo for the event. Now I guess I'll just buy a few regular boxes and hope I can loot enough Halloween to keep it going.

Unlimited time UNTIL you get better score...

MA, pelase at least dismiss previous score in case of reset

So.... Is it repeatable indefinitely or not?
 
So I just want to understand this. From testing so far it seems like Cat 1 is the best for my DPS, armor, and budget. But if my max profession level is 51 does that mean for the event I would be forced to do Cat 4? There's no way I can handle those mobs...

It's been like that ever since they implemented the skill caps mate. Nothing new this year.

This is my first year playing it. Owell, I guess all this cash I set aside for ammo will go to the Steam sale instead, lol. Good luck with the event everyone.
 
The prof level requirements is the max hunting level or the level of your highest prof?
(my mining is higher than my hunting) :rolleyes:

Highest Combat profession, mining is under the resource collection category
 
The new Halloween boxes stack and are identical to the old ones.

Seriously, real talk. If your level is outside of your playstyle, CHIP OUT ALL THOSE SKILLS FOR PROFIT.


I am perma level <35. I chip out consistently any skills that might raise me above 35. That is my comfortable level of play, and it makes me get profit consistently from hunts by selling the skills.

Not anymore, now everyone will do it and skill prices will go even lower than they are.
 
So.... Is it repeatable indefinitely or not?

There is a difference between repeatable and abandoning it.
Once you complete 15 hours, you can repeat another 15 hours and the highest score will count.
However if you do 2 hours and feel like you don't have enough points and abandon it to start over again, they will only allow that up to 3 times and then after that you are disqualified.

I do see the potential issue of them disqualifying people for completing the 15 hours more than three times, however i would hope they do some sort of counter or check in the system to determine when someone abandoned a mission compared to completing the mission.

Be prepared for all the "i never abandoned the mission MA, i completed it multiple times" complaints when people are marked as disqualified in the final results.
