Summary
The new Halloween update for Roblox Rivals brings spooky lobby decorations, the Gargoyle Tower challenge, returning Zombie Tower content, limited-time cosmetics, and several weapon balance changes. Players can earn event candy through tasks, hunt for rare skins in the Spooky Prize Wheel, and explore new Halloween-themed items. Players looking to customize their loadouts can also explore Rivals Items to complement their in-game experience. However, the update also introduces a reported Arena wall glitch, while some cosmetic purchases appear to have bugs that players should watch out for.
1. Gargoyle Tower Arrives With a New Halloween Challenge
The biggest addition is Gargoyle Tower, described as the game’s second Monster Tower challenge. It follows the wave-based survival format of Zombie Tower, requiring players to fight through groups of enemies while progressing through the tower.
Unlike ordinary matches, the new challenge adds a darker atmosphere and a more unsettling environment, with bats, new enemy types, and boss encounters. Players must manage their ammunition, collect supplies, and avoid taking unnecessary damage as they advance.
The main rewards highlighted in the update include:
Zombie Tower is also available again, giving players another opportunity to revisit the previous Monster Tower challenge. Players who want to complete Gargoyle Tower should prioritize ammunition management and conserve their strongest attacks for tougher enemies and bosses.
2. Halloween Skins, Weapon Cosmetics, and the Bat Bundle
The update adds a range of Halloween-themed cosmetics, including returning Spooky Skin Case content and a new Bat Bundle. The bundle features several items designed around a dark, supernatural aesthetic.
| Item | Highlight |
|---|---|
| Bat Flock | Halloween-themed weapon wrap |
| Bat Blade | Bat-inspired melee cosmetic |
| Corambit | Knife cosmetic included in the bundle |
| Bat Nade | Halloween-themed grenade cosmetic |
| Batwing Charm | Decorative weapon charm |
| Takefly Emote | New emote |
The Spooky Skin Case also returns with additional cosmetics, including Jeremiah, Xenor Frost, Mimic Wildcat, and Grave Light. The Shadow Wildcat skin is another notable addition associated with the Legendary Key Bundle.
These cosmetics give players more ways to customize their loadouts during the event. However, some players have reported purchase and inventory display problems, particularly involving the Corambit and certain older skin cases. Check your backpack and owned items before making another purchase if a cosmetic does not appear immediately.
3. Spooky Prize Wheel: How to Get Rare Rewards
The Spooky Prize Wheel is another major part of the Halloween event. Players can earn candy through event tasks and use the available event systems to pursue limited-time rewards.
One of the most desirable items shown in the update is the Spider Crossbow, which has a reported 1% drop chance in the Spooky Prize Wheel. That is a higher chance than the 0.5% rate mentioned for the previous version, although a 1% probability still makes the reward difficult to obtain.
-
Complete event tasks to earn candy.
-
Check the reward pool before spending re
-
Remember that a 1% drop rate does not guarantee a reward after 100 attempts.
-
Review your inventory after opening cases or purchasing cosmetics.
The creator also demonstrated buying additional spins with Robux. This offers another way to pursue rewards, but it does not guarantee a rare drop, so players should set a spending limit before opening large numbers of wheels.
4. Weapon Balance Changes: Revolver and Spear Buffs
Several weapon adjustments arrive alongside the Halloween content. The most notable changes affect the Revolver, Spear, and Grenade Launcher.
| Weapon | Change | Potential Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Revolver | Quick Shot spread reduced from 10 to 7 | Improved accuracy during rapid firing |
| Spear | Throw damage increased from 25 to 30 | Stronger ranged throwing attacks |
| Grenade Launcher | Equip cooldown changed from 40 to 45 | Longer cooldown before it can be equipped again |
The Revolver’s reduced Quick Shot spread could make it more consistent in close-to-medium-range fights. However, actual performance will depend on aim, distance, and how the weapon behaves in live matches.
The Spear’s increased throw damage gives players another reason to experiment with ranged attacks. Meanwhile, the Grenade Launcher’s cooldown adjustment needs to be considered alongside its explosive damage and area coverage.
Players should test these changes in regular matches rather than assuming every weapon has become stronger in every situation.
5. Arena Wall Glitch and Other Reported Bugs
Not everything in the Halloween update is working as intended. During testing, players reported being able to move through certain Arena walls, creating unusual movement opportunities and causing unexpected eliminations.
Other issues involved cosmetic purchases that appeared to open the wrong item page or failed to display the expected reward immediately. These reports suggest that players should be cautious when purchasing bundles or individual cosmetics until the affected items are confirmed to work correctly.
If you encounter a similar problem, capture a screenshot or video and report it through the game’s official channels. Avoid repeatedly purchasing an item just because it is missing from the expected inventory location.
Final Thoughts
The Roblox Rivals Halloween update delivers a strong mix of new PvE content, spooky cosmetics, returning tower challenges, and weapon adjustments. Gargoyle Tower is the main attraction for players looking for a fresh combat challenge, while the Spooky Prize Wheel offers a chance to obtain rare rewards such as the Spider Crossbow. Players who want to customize their loadouts can also consider options to buy Rivals Items. Before spending candy or Robux, check the reward details and inventory carefully, especially while reported Arena and cosmetic bugs remain unresolved.
