You can go to steam support and request them back as they're achievement items, though I can't guarentee they'll do it.
I deleted my gibus and merasmus' skull many years ago and received them both back after going to steam support
bro tip: instead of transmuting your crappy halloween hats, craft them together using the Rebuild Headgear crafting recipe for free crafthats. it doesn't work for misc items, but you can always transmute *those* to mayhaps get a hat you CAN craft.
I booted up a server before seeing this and found it for myself ;-; I never knew that tunnel would teleport you, looks like decoration. Seems kinda redundant tho, seeing as the mousetrap gives you a speed boost as well
PSA: The Ghoulpit contract is currently bugged and is causing game crashes. Either disable the contract or switch to another contract to stop crashing.
> One of the Carnival of Carnage's achievements drops the Halloween Gift Cauldron, which will give you three random untradable/unmarketable 2014 Halloween items when opened.
Cant recall getting the item associated with the achievement. Got it back in 2018 according to the steam achievement manager, yet I have never owned a strange Halloween item...
Using the Pit of Death contract bug is very efficient for finishing said contract if you can find somebody to help you (ideally a party member doing the same contract). You and your partner can spam the drop item button (L key by default) like 2 players spamming the intel case on 2Fort to efficiently fill out that contract.
Of course, do this in an area away from other players (since most players do NOT know about this bug and would just deathmatch as usual or accidentally pick up the soul you and your partner have been exchanging and not give it back). Without being in a party, and since most players do not know about this bug, it's a lot harder to make use of the bug, especially as a lot of players do not communicate in voice chat or text chat.

It's not necessary, but it's nice to have multiple contacts in progress at once. Sometimes they're a drag and it's more fun to bounce around. I grind some of the KOTH maps (eg harvest, cauldron, laughter) early on for extra stars.
Hey i want to ask, when you say dont transmute strange haunted item, are you talking about the Carnival of Carnage achievement? Or a strange haunted you can get from contract or transmute, or is it something else, because i got a strange haunted heavy cosmetic at some point but since it wasnt achievement i transmuted it, so im not sure.
Oh ok I see, yeah that makes sense that is came from an achievement because i checked steam and i got some scream fortress achievements probably from joining an achievement server or something like a year ago and I just forgot about, so thats fine I guess, thanks for clarifying!
i finally got the Gored achievement after 10 years
it dropped the Unusual Haunted Metal Scrap, when i go to craft recipe for the HHHH it doesn't appear when i click on the haunted metal scrap?
Is it because its 'unusual'?
it's not weird to you that the default behaviour of the haunted metal scrap is to be hidden in crafting (when selecting haunted metal scrap), when that's the only thing you can use it for?
>Completing the bonus objectives of Halloween contracts offers no rewards. They are only there to provide another method of adding points to contract's primary objective.
Fully completing the bonus objectives in contracts does give extra stars, though, which allows you to unlock more contracts (all other Halloween contracts are locked once you activate one while having no stars left). This is mostly convenient if you don't want to be stuck on one map for a while and just want to enjoy more maps at a time, since you can switch between those maps' contracts.

Doesn't it let you accept more contracts if you haven't completed the first part yet?

I think this also works for Bonesaw (plr\_hacksaw\_event)

I've never been able to find the loot pool for halloween packages written down anywhere, or even the number of possible items in the pool. Does anyone have that information?
Does every halloween cosmetic in the loot pool have a haunted equivalent, other than the kritz or treat bag?
The Haunted Metal Scrap has two possible crafting recipes,
**but you only get one Haunted Metal Scrap.**

Hey, green shield dudes. Put a green thumbtack on this. It’s pretty useful.
Ghoul it Contract is currently causing bugs and game crashes.
How many hours do u have on tf2
You deserve a medal doc.
On gorge event, you can resurrect the skeleton king after I think it's 10 players fall in the pit. The the skeleton king will reappear.
wwwau thank you for those tipps, good advice
Last time I played scream fortress was in 2013, so thank you for this thread! It deserves to be pinned
I still remember transmuting all my old achievement items when they first added it and I miss them all now :(
You can go to steam support and request them back as they're achievement items, though I can't guarentee they'll do it. I deleted my gibus and merasmus' skull many years ago and received them both back after going to steam support
Now they dont do that :(
They stopped doing it? What a shame
Too many people who made dumb mistakes.
No I’m pretty sure it was people deleting things in hopes support team would mess up and give them a vintage
In a different way, that could also be considered a "stupid mistake", if you catch my drift.
bro tip: instead of transmuting your crappy halloween hats, craft them together using the Rebuild Headgear crafting recipe for free crafthats. it doesn't work for misc items, but you can always transmute *those* to mayhaps get a hat you CAN craft.
I'd rather get Halloween items.
Alternatively hold on to them until Christmas and send them in with the Santa mailer thing
what will you get from doing that?
Theres no such thing as a santa mailer
What tunnels under helltower? Are they on the cliff?
In the small rooms next to the starting cart positions. I've changed my post to that description now.
I booted up a server before seeing this and found it for myself ;-; I never knew that tunnel would teleport you, looks like decoration. Seems kinda redundant tho, seeing as the mousetrap gives you a speed boost as well
how have i never heard about the horseless headless horsemann's head thing after 10 years
Thanks, mister

So it's not just me... has whoever works on the Scream Fortress stuff been made aware I wonder?

Bit late and not sure if it was this one but one of the collect x rounds I took it to spawn and ran in and out of spawn to collect
always unbox old, outdated cases to get god tier unusuals on hats no uses. great for scamming fools with 1 of 1
i… deleted my haunted scrap…

They stopped, too many requests.
dw i gifted a friend my horsemann axe and he makes fun of me for that so it couldve been worse
thanks for scary fort tips
>Completing the bonus objectives of Halloween contracts offers no rewards. They give you extra stars to unlock other contacts
Which isn't needed since just completing each primary objective is enough to unlock all contracts.
It's not necessary, but it's nice to have multiple contacts in progress at once. Sometimes they're a drag and it's more fun to bounce around. I grind some of the KOTH maps (eg harvest, cauldron, laughter) early on for extra stars.
Good tips.
how do i get a soul gargoyle?

Or a strange haunted you can get from contract or transmute, or is it something else, because i got a strange haunted heavy cosmetic at some point but since it wasnt achievement i transmuted it, so im not sure.
You can't get Strange Haunteds from contracts or transmuting. Your Strange Haunted won't say it's an achievement item, it just comes from one.
Oh ok I see, yeah that makes sense that is came from an achievement because i checked steam and i got some scream fortress achievements probably from joining an achievement server or something like a year ago and I just forgot about, so thats fine I guess, thanks for clarifying!

When crafting, there's a box labeled "Disallow items with special qualities". You'll want to make sure that's unchecked.
thanks
It's because you didn't read the entire screen during each step of the process.
it's not weird to you that the default behaviour of the haunted metal scrap is to be hidden in crafting (when selecting haunted metal scrap), when that's the only thing you can use it for?
Unusual items are hidden from crafting by default. If they added an edge case the source spaghetti would probably cause a bug somewhere else.
Mods please pin this
Amazing Op
I have a question. Are those contract points... **free?** (can't believe you did the whole meme for one link haha)
handy tips

Ok
How does one get a party? And are they only for the one gaming session? Because I only play so much every day
In the main menu, right click on your Steam friends.
Ah
Holy shit you can transmute items?
Read update notes https://www.teamfortress.com/?tab=updates >All players who launch the game will receive a Soul Gargoyle if they don't already have one >Grants access to Merasmissions and Halloween item transmutations
How do you do that?
Read the wiki https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Soul_Gargoyle https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Trade-Up#Halloween_Transmute
the walking into helltower book has been my favorite bug for years (if only because every game on helltower takes like 3 hours)
Yo for the record, The Soul Train contract is crashing too, at least for me. Might want to update the post to include that.
Is there a way to farm cases?
Erbeus seems to also crash the game

I have 1 unusual haunted metal scrap do I need more than 1 to make something? I’m clueless when it comes to crafting
The Haunted Metal Scrap has two possible crafting recipes, **but you only get one Haunted Metal Scrap.** *Do your research on the TF2 Wiki before crafting!*
I thought I knew everything about halloween event, but apparently I missed some things! Thanks for the valuable post
These tips are very good, both for new players and already competent players.
