2024’s War Thunder Halloween event has just kicked off, introducing tank and aircraft races, pumpkin decals, and a series of exciting events to help you get in the mood.
It also brings back rewards from previous Halloween events, including the Dead Man’s Chest and Witch’s Cauldron trophies. If you fancy giving your profile a Halloween makeover, now’s the time to do it.
The Halloween event comes hot in the heels of the Trafalgar Day celebration, which saw War Thunder discounting a fan-favourite ship to celebrate the historic occasion.
When Does the War Thunder Halloween Event Begin and End?
War Thunder’s Halloween event kicks off today, October 25 and ends on November 1 at 07:00 AM GMT.


Carved Pumpkin Decals
There are four Carved Pumpkin Decals you can unlock during the Halloween event. We’ve included them in a gallery above so you can get an idea of what to expect.
Two of them require participating in the Halloween events below to unlock, while one requires playing the game, and another is a reward via a social media event.
Heres’ the full list of Carved Pumpkin Decals including unlock requirements:
- Carved Turret Drive Pumpkin: 300 rating points in Through the Dark Forest
- Carved Flame Pumpkin: 300 rating points in Witch Hunt
- Carved Engine Pumpkin: play 3 battles in a rank III or higher vehicle with an activity of 70%
- Carved Crew Pumpkin: Enter the code ‘PUMPKIN’ at the official redemption site
Tank Racing Through the Dark Forest
You can race the M18 “Witch” tank through a spooky forest for fun. Or, you can do it to earn the Carved Turret Drive Pumpkin Decal. It’s up to you.
If it’s the latter, you need to get a rating of at least 300, so best of luck with that.
Witch Hunting in the Sky
Similarly, there’s an air racing event, which sees you taking to the skies in the Po-2 “Night Witch” aircraft. Earn 300 rating points and you get the Carved Flame Pumpkin Decal.
Not only that, but the 1,000 players with the highest rating at the end of the event get the Po-2 (USSR) aircraft for free. This is the one to spam if you feel like playing one over and over.
Returning Halloween Rewards
Rounding up the War Thunder Halloween event is the return of the Dead Man’s Chest and Witch’s Cauldron trophies. You can grab these from the shop to bag a bunch of decorations and decals from previous Halloween events.
