The RIVALS Halloween event, RIVALSWEEN, is live now and runs until November 7, 2026 at 05:00 UTC. It arrived with Update 24 and brings a Candy currency, a daily Spooky Prize Wheel, the brand-new Gargoyle Tower, the returning Zombie Tower and a Spooky Skin Case with 5 new skins. There is no new Halloween code this year, but a few regular codes still work, and they’re listed below.
Everything here comes from Nosniy Games’ official RIVALSWEEN event listing, the RIVALS game description on Roblox, and the Update 24 patch notes as copied onto the RIVALS Wiki. Dates and codes checked October 19, 2026, 19:30 UTC.
- Event window: October 17, 01:00 UTC to November 7, 05:00 UTC (about 18 days left as of October 19).
- What to do first: finish your Daily Tasks. That unlocks the Event Tasks, which pay Candy and a free Spooky Prize Wheel every day.
- Free skins: escape Gargoyle Tower alive and solo for the Towerstone Wildcat. Do the same in Zombie Tower for Towerstone Fists.
- Spend your Candy: it disappears when the event ends. It does not carry over.
- Codes: FREE203 and COMMUNITY27 are the newest. HAPPYRIVALSWEEN, last year’s Halloween code, is expired.

When does the RIVALS Halloween event end?
The official listing has RIVALSWEEN starting October 17 at 01:00 UTC (6 PM PT on Friday, October 16 in the US) and ending November 7 at 05:00 UTC. The patch notes say a countdown will show up in-game when the event is about to end. US clocks go back on November 1, so the end time in US zones is in standard time.

RIVALS is one of the busiest games on Roblox this week. The live chart showed about 147,500 people playing at 19:25 UTC on October 19, which put it at No. 6 overall. Its Roblox title now carries a pumpkin tag: “[🎃] RIVALS”.
How to get Candy fast in RIVALS
Candy is the event currency. You spend it in the Shop on limited Halloween items. Here’s the order that gets you the most Candy for your time, based on how the patch notes describe the event:
- Do today’s Daily Tasks. Event Tasks stay locked until you finish them.
- Clear your Event Tasks. They pay Candy, and one of them gives a bonus Spooky Prize Wheel every day.
- Use the Candy Rush. Every day you get a free x5 Candy boost until you’ve earned 200 Candy. You keep earning after that, just at the normal rate.
- Come back tomorrow. Because the boost resets daily, a short session every day beats one long grind on the weekend.
- Spend everything before November 7. Unspent Candy is deleted when the event ends.
You can also buy Candy Bundles for Robux, and the Legendary Candy Bundle comes with a bonus Mythical Shadow Wildcat skin. Bundle sizes and prices differ between sources, so check your own Shop before you buy. Everything in the towers and the daily wheel is free.

Gargoyle Tower and Zombie Tower rewards
Gargoyle Tower is the second monster-tower challenge in RIVALS and has its own mode on the Play page. You climb with your squad (or alone) and escape by helicopter at the top. According to the RIVALS Wiki, it has 17 floors, with a Gargoyle boss on floor 10 and an Acidic Gargoyle final boss on floor 17. You start with a Handgun, Revolver or Shorty and pick up other weapons from defeated monsters.
The original Zombie Tower is back too, almost unchanged. The patch notes list four changes: a new solo reward, weapon drops that you now pick up with a prompt instead of by touching them, a new spot for Chombies, and a single Grim Reaper that hunts anyone who falls behind the group (it replaces the old 50 Reapers).
| Tower | Escape (dead or alive) | Escape alive | Escape alive, solo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gargoyle Tower (new) | Gargoyle Head charm | Conduction wrap | Towerstone Wildcat skin |
| Zombie Tower (returning) | Chombie Head charm | Zombie wrap | Towerstone Fists skin |
Tip: the Towerstone skins are the hardest rewards in the event, because you have to clear a whole tower by yourself without dying. Run each tower with friends first to learn the floors, and save your solo attempts for when you know the boss fights.
RIVALS Halloween skins: Spooky Skin Case, Haunted Chest and Prize Wheel
The Spooky Skin Case is back with 5 new skins, and the Haunted Chest adds 1 new emote. Rarities come from the RIVALS Wiki, which counts 49 skins in the case in total.
| New item | Where to get it | Weapon | Rarity (wiki) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Web Shooters | Spooky Skin Case | Grappler | Legendary |
| Jeremiah | Spooky Skin Case | Maul | Legendary |
| Mimic Wildcat | Spooky Skin Case | Wildcat | Legendary |
| Xenofrost | Spooky Skin Case | Permafrost | Rare |
| Gravelight | Spooky Skin Case | Spear | Common |
| Candy Dance | Haunted Chest | Emote | – |
| Spider Crossbow, Red Moon | Spooky Prize Wheel | Crossbow (Spider Crossbow); Red Moon not stated | – |
The wiki lists the Haunted Chest at 30 Candy, so it’s one of the main things to spend your Candy on. The patch notes don’t give odds for the Spooky Prize Wheel. The Machete skin for the Knife is now Legendary with new animations, and you can still get it from the Spooky Skin Case.
The Shop also sells new limited Halloween cosmetics: Jerm, Brewery, Acid Splash, Zombie Walk and Cursed Daggers, plus two new wraps on the Shop’s Home page, Nightmare and Ravensoul. The paid Bat Bundle has 8 exclusive items (Batblade, Slingshotula, Karambat, Batnade, Bat Wing, Bat Flock, Become Bat and Take Flight).
Two free charms work differently. You get the Incublox charm by eliminating the creator @IncubatorTV in a match, and the RODNY charm by eliminating @RODNY_ROBLOX.

RIVALS codes for October 2026 (no Halloween code yet)
Update 24’s patch notes don’t mention any codes, and the game’s description doesn’t list any either. Last year’s Halloween code, HAPPYRIVALSWEEN, gave 250 Candy, but every list now marks it expired. Until a new one appears in-game, these are the codes that still work. We compared the RIVALS Wiki code page (edited October 19), Destructoid (October 19), Beebom (October 17), PC Gamer (October 12) and Pocket Tactics (October 8).
| Code | Reward | Lists showing it active |
|---|---|---|
| FREE203 (new) | 3 Keys | 2 of 2 updated Oct 19 |
| COMMUNITY27 (new) | 1 Community Wrap (random weapon) | 3 of 3 updated since Oct 17 |
| ROBLOX_RTC | 5 Keys | 5 of 5 |
| BONUS | 1 Key | 5 of 5 |
| BOOST | 1 Key | 5 of 5 |
Codes the lists disagree on: BACK2BACK (RIA26 Best Shooter charm) and NOSNIYGAMESONTOP (RIA26 Best Studio emote) were limited-time codes from Update 23 in September. Destructoid, Beebom and PC Gamer still list them as active, but the wiki marks them expired. FREE202 (3 Keys) has been replaced by FREE203 on the wiki. They’re worth trying, but don’t be surprised if they fail. ELBILLUG is a joke code (“gullible” spelled backwards) that gives you nothing.
The FREE codes change often. According to the wiki, the code board in the RIVALS lobby shows a new FREE code each time the game reaches another 50,000 likes, and the number goes up by one each time. So the board in your own lobby is always the newest source.
How to redeem RIVALS codes
- Like the RIVALS experience and join the Nosniy Games community on Roblox.
- Follow the developers @Nosniy and @SenseiWarrior on Roblox. The wiki says codes only redeem while you follow at least one of them.
- Open the Shop in the lobby and press the Reward button, then tap verify where it asks.
- Type the code exactly and press Redeem.
Never enter your password or “free Robux” offers on outside sites to get RIVALS rewards. Real codes only go into the box inside the game.
Update 24 balance changes
Five weapons were buffed or tweaked alongside the event. The numbers below are from the patch notes.
| Weapon | Change |
|---|---|
| Grenade Launcher | Damage 40 to 45, crit 80 to 90, faster projectiles (90 to 100 studs/s), bigger hitbox (0.75 to 0.85), reload 3.2s to 2.5s |
| Revolver | Quick Shot spread 10° to 7° |
| Shorty | Damage 7.5×10 to 8×10, crit 11.25×10 to 12×10 |
| Spear | Equip cooldown 1.25s to 0.6s, throw damage 25 to 30 (crit 50 to 60), throw radius 0 to 0.5 studs |
| Warpstone | Hitbox 4 studs to 0.25 studs, so you can warp through tighter gaps |
The Shorty and Revolver changes matter in the towers too, because they’re two of the three starting weapons in Gargoyle Tower.
