Festival of the Lost brings Halloween to Destiny

It’s Halloween season all across the world of video games right now and Destiny is getting into the spirit with the Festival of the Lost. The Tower is all decked out with decorations and all of the vendors have got into the spirit too.

Celebrations begin with a quick trip to Eva Levante who gives players a quest to begin unlocking masks. From there you can unlock masks of major foes — Atheon, Crota, Skolas, Oryx and the Cryptarch are all present — as well as friends too. YouTuber Arekkz Gaming has compiled all 16 masks available into one video, check them out:

Masks can be either of Rare of Legendary quality but be careful, only Legendary masks will remain after the Festival of the Lost concludes. You can make Rare masks into Legendary ones with relative ease though with a little paper glue, obtained from dismantling other Legendary masks. Special Treasure of the Lost bags are also available for purchase with Silver and contain a guaranteed Legendary mask as well as another consumable.

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 unlocked, giving players another map to slide-shotgun their way around.

Finally, Bungie has introduced 3 new emotes to the Eververse Trading Company, they are Boo (300 Silver), Monster Dance (500) and Zombie Dance (700). Fair warning though, not all of these emotes are available to players on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. I’ll let Arekkz show them off.

The Zombie Dance is undoubtedly the Thriller dance and Monster Dance bears a striking resemblance to a certain Backstreet Boys routine. If this standard of content continues from Bungie then I’ll be impressed. All we need now is a way to hot-swap emotes and we’ll be set.

Good work, Bungie.
