The Halloween 2025 update for A Dusty Trip transforms the world into a chilling Halloween-themed adventure packed with exclusive rewards, eerie locations, and limited-time weapons. The centerpiece of this update is the Monster Machine vehicle, alongside a new portal event, Skull Mace, Candy Corn SMG, and more.
This guide covers everything you need to know — from how to collect candies to unlocking every Halloween reward efficiently.
1. Halloween Event Overview
When you log in, you’ll notice that the lobby area has been completely redesigned with Halloween décor — fog, pumpkins, and spooky lights everywhere. You’ll also see a new event NPC, dressed as Jason from Friday the 13th.
Talking to this NPC starts the Halloween Candy Collection Event, where your goal is to farm candies and exchange them for special event rewards.
Main Rewards:
- Monster Machine Car – 7,500 candies
- Candy Corn SMG – 5,000 candies
- Skull Mace – Free weapon found in the portal
- Halloween Bucket – Bonus candy generator
2. How to Collect Candies
The main way to earn candies this event is by exploring the new Halloween Portal, which appears 1,250 meters away from the spawn.
Here’s how it works:
- Find the Portal: It’s covered in Halloween decorations and emits a glowing aura.
- Enter the Portal: You’ll be teleported to the Catacombs, a dark underground area filled with Skeleton enemies.
- Defeat Skeletons: Each skeleton drops 20 candies upon defeat.
Inside the portal, you’ll also find the Halloween Bucket — interacting with it using the One Time button gives 10 extra candies instantly.
Keep repeating this loop until you have enough candies for your chosen rewards.
3. The Monster Machine Vehicle
How to Unlock
- Purchase from the Halloween Pass for 7,500 candies.

Inspiration: Based on the 1963 Ford Transit, referencing Scooby-Doo’s Mystery Machine (renamed Monster Machine).

Fuel Efficiency: Excellent — only 0.7 L used per 5,000 m driven.
Engine Location: Front grill.
Headlights: Orange glow to match the Halloween theme.

Overall, the Monster Machine isn’t just a cosmetic ride — it’s a surprisingly efficient and stylish vehicle with solid speed and handling.
4. New Weapons
Skull Mace (Free)
Location: Found inside the Halloween Portal (Catacombs).
Light Attack Damage: 65 per hit (2 hits to kill a mutant).
Heavy Attack Damage: 90 per hit (1–2 hits to kill a mutant).
Use Case: Perfect for farming skeletons early since it’s free and has strong damage output.
Candy Corn SMG

Damage Output:
Body Shots: 40 damage each (3 shots to kill a mutant).

A colorful rapid-fire weapon shooting candy-themed projectiles. It’s fun and powerful for clearing mobs or defending yourself during candy farming.
5. Additional Halloween Item
Candle

6. Best Candy Farming Strategy
Enter the Portal and equip your Skull Mace.
Clear out Skeletons efficiently — each gives 20 candies.
Use the Halloween Bucket for bonus candies every run.
Repeat the loop until you reach 7,500 candies for the Monster Machine and 5,000 for the Candy Corn SMG.
Avoid wasting time outside the portal, as regular enemies don’t drop candies.
7. Final Thoughts
The Halloween 2025 event in A Dusty Trip is one of the most rewarding updates yet — blending spooky design with genuinely useful content.
The Monster Machine stands out for its utility and unique style, while the Skull Mace and Candy Corn SMG make combat both powerful and thematic.
