There’s a Destiny Halloween event on right now

This week, Destiny is celebrating the Festival of The Lost.

Just when people were starting to get burned out on Destiny, a video game about the endless hunt for a decent ghost shell, along comes a set of Halloween festivities that made me giggle way too hard.

This update has added several masks that can be purchased or unlocked through the new Halloween quests. Oh, right, masks: they run the ranks of Destiny notables from Eris Morn to the Cryptarch to jolly old Oryx himself, though their Rare variants will all expire at the end of the Festival… unless you upgrade them into Legendaries by applying a few paper glue.

Chests include random legendary masks, and other random small items like Jackolytes.

Most of the games consumables have taken on a new form as candy, giving the same buffs as they always did but now they’re in a shiny new wrapper.

A new Crucible Map has also been added, with Bungie explaining its backstory: “Lord Shaxx’s Redjacks have entered the Dreadnaught, clearing a path to the area known as the Cathedral of Dusk”. The Zombie Dance emote will not be available for PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 consoles, this will have to be used on either the Xbox or PlayStation 4.

The Eververse Trading Company has new emotes in stock, the Boo – 300 Silver, Monster Dance – 500 Silver, and Zombie Dance – 700 Silver, although this last one is only available on Xbox One and PS4. If this standard of content continues from Bungie then I’ll be impressed.
