Summary
The next RIVALS update is dropping imminently, and there’s a lot to unpack before it lands. This guide covers what you need to do before the update, what to expect from the Halloween event, the mystery of the Roblox “The Hollow” event, and the bizarre situation of Fortnite apparently copying RIVALS—plus how to make the most of your existing Rivals Items before the meta shifts.
Do This Before the Update Drops
Before the new update goes live, take care of these essentials:
Check your prize wheel spins. There’s been community confusion about whether prize wheels are being removed in the new update. They are not going away—they were only added a month ago, and the devs would have announced any removal. Spin them before the update if you have any saved.
Follow the update livestream. The creator will be live the night the update drops. Joining livestreams is the fastest way to learn new mechanics, codes, and meta shifts before they become common knowledge.
Enter the giveaway. A huge giveaway is running once the update drops. To enter: like the video, subscribe to the channel, and comment your Roblox username.
Watch for milestone codes. Nazny just hit over 1 million YouTube subscribers—largely off RIVALS trailer content. There’s speculation about a special code or coding game tied to the milestone. Keep an eye on official channels for any code drops.
Halloween Update Predictions
Prize Wheel: A Halloween-Themed Wheel?
The community’s leading theory is that the Halloween update will introduce a special Halloween-themed prize wheel rather than removing the existing ones.
The concern: If that wheel contains a 1 in 200 skin, players would have less than two months to grind for it—mathematically brutal. The community consensus is that a 1 in 50 drop rate would be far more reasonable and appreciated.
What to do: Save your spins and currency before the update. If a limited-time Halloween wheel appears, you’ll want re
RIVALS in “The Hollow” Roblox Event?
Roblox is launching a brand-new event called The Hollow within the next 7 days, and speculation is rampant that RIVALS could be included.
Roblox’s Twitter posted “nine names, nine nights”—likely meaning nine games in the event
A grid of letter boxes was shown, with the eighth slot having six characters—matching “Rivals” (R-I-V-A-L-S)
RIVALS has a Halloween update coming out soon, making its inclusion highly plausible
The caveat: Other Roblox games also have six-letter names, so this isn’t confirmed. But the timing aligns suspiciously well.
What to do: Watch for official Roblox announcements. If RIVALS is confirmed for The Hollow, expect exclusive event rewards and possibly limited-time modes.
The Fortnite Copycat Controversy
In a bizarre turn, Fortnite appears to have straight-up copied RIVALS—the lobby, the weapon menu, and even the maps.
The lobby looks identical to RIVALS
The weapon menu is nearly the same
RIVALS maps appear to have been recreated in Fortnite
The UI is strikingly similar, with some “weird things” added
Why this matters: Fortnite has been increasingly trying to emulate Roblox’s ecosystem—user-generated content, varied game modes, and now apparently direct imitation of popular Roblox experiences. For RIVALS players, this is either flattering validation or infuriating theft, depending on your perspective.
Community response: If the coverage video hits 10,000 likes, the creator will play the RIVALS Fortnite clone. Whether it’s worth trying depends on how curious you are about the imitation.

Practical Tips for Update Day
Log in early. Update days are chaotic—servers strain, and early birds get first pick of new content.
Don’t spend everything immediately. If a Halloween wheel drops, you’ll want reserves. Hold your currency until you see the full update.
Check the shop before grinding. New updates often include limited-time bundles or freebies that expire quickly.
Watch the livestream while playing. Real-time commentary reveals mechanics and codes faster than patch notes.
Screenshot your inventory. If any items get reworked or removed, you’ll have a record of what you had.
Expect server queues. Plan for waiting—have something else to do while you queue in.
Final Thoughts
The RIVALS update is shaping up to be significant: a potential Halloween prize wheel, possible inclusion in Roblox’s The Hollow event, and the strange validation of Fortnite copying the game’s formula. Before it drops, spin your wheels, save your reskip the grind altogether, you can buy Rivals Items from MMOEXP, a trusted marketplace offering safe, fast delivery so you’re fully stocked before the update lands
And if the Fortnite clone hits 10,000 likes—well, you might just see a RIVALS player invading Fortnite to see the imitation firsthand.
