Are you a die-hard Alvo fan who loves Halloween? Well then listen up! Developer OutsideIn Entertainment has announced the release of its latest update. Alongside new gameplay fixes and improvements, the update also includes a limited-time event that runs for the next few weeks.
Players have until 14th November 2023 to collect 100 pieces of dropped candy in matches. To do this, candy is only dropped when you kill a player – AI bots aren’t included – during non-private games. If you manage to complete the event you’ll be awarded a pumpkin character and a new skin for each weapon.
