How do I unlock the Hallows weapon skin?

Play at least one multiplayer match in any Social or Competitive playlist between Friday October 30th at 12pm PDT till Monday November 2nd at 12pm PDT to be eligible for the reward.

Why did the Hallows weapon disappear after the weekend? Have I lost my unlock?

Your unlock is safe – we’re enabling the weapon skin for all players over the Halloween weekend to celebrate the event and help indicate you are playing during the unlock eligibility period. Once the event ends, the Hallows weapon skin will temporarily disappear.

When will I receive my permanent access to the Hallows weapon skin?

Eligible players will receive their weapon skin within two weeks of the event close.

Why does the Social playlist description say I’ll earn less XP?

This is a legacy description we are unable to change at this time. Social XP has been raised to match the previous XP rate of the Competitive counterparts to the playlist modes.

Do any playlists currently have Rooftops or Bullet Marsh in them?

Yes - Warzone when a special event is not active. We are planning to ensure all maps are available in our special events where appropriate.

How often will special events occur?

At this time, we are planning a special event every two weekends.

What happens to Leaderboards?

Social will now write to Leaderboards, and retain the current statistics you've earned in the competitive counterparts to each gametype. KOTH and Assassination leaderboards will disappear in-game but your stats are retained - these will be viewable on GearsofWar.com. Please note that while these stats for these modes are viewable online, they will not update after the refresh launches.

Will you be running my favorite special event in the future?

We have a lot of fan favorites already planned, such as Brothers to the End and Shotty Snipes to name a few. Got a specific special event you’d like to see? Let us know in the forums!

Will there be any future playlist refreshes or revisions?

We're always out there listening to our fans, so keep your feedback coming in our forums and over social media. We'll continue to evaluate our playlists based on design decisions, statistical insight and feedback from players.
