Warzone The Haunting event: Start time, Halloween skins, challenges, more

Spooky season is upon us and Raven Software has decided to bring back The Haunting, the fan-favourite event that debuted back in 2020.

Warzone players who missed out on The Haunting last year will get to experience everything the Halloween-themed event has to offer and we're here to break down everything you can expect.

Without further ado, let's get started.

Warzone The Haunting - Schedule

The Haunting returns to both Call of Duty Warzone and Black Ops Cold War this 19th October, ending a few weeks later on 2nd November.

Warzone The Haunting - Ghost of Verdansk

The Ghosts of Verdansk mode will be similar to last year's LTM, except this time, instead of turning into a zombie, you'll become a ghost once you get killed, being given with the same abilities to help you overrun uninfected humans. These are:

Super Jump: Similar to the jump from Zombie Royale, Ghosts can charge up and “leap” through the air to cover serious ground. Because Ghosts have no body, their light weight allows them to float and glide following a jump or a drop from any high distance.
Teleport: Another movement option, albeit with a slower cooldown, Ghosts can teleport a short distance to help immediately close gaps between them and living Operators. They can even teleport right through them and appear behind their would-be target.
Spectral Blast: This area-of-effect stun attack slows down Operators and disables vehicles.

Ghosts of Verdansk - Fear meter

While we don't know exactly what happens when the bar reaches 100%, Activision mentioned that players will experience "hallucinations" once it's half full.

The fear meter will start to fill up if:

You're shot at, hit by enemy Equipment, or having their Killstreaks in the area
You're camping (AKA cowardice)
You seedead bodies or Ghosts
You have squadmates downed or eliminated

And it will decrease if:

You eliminate a player or Ghost
Revive a squadmate
Complete a Contract
Remain within Sacred Ground

Warzone The Haunting - Operator skins

While the main attraction of this LTM is the Ghostface Operator skin, there are plenty more that will pop in the Warzone store during the event. These are:

Ghostface from Scream, available on 19th October
Frank the Rabbit from Donnie Darko, available on 24th October
Tracer Pack: Lumens Maxis Ultra Bundle
Tracer Pack: Disciple of Mayhem Ultra Bundle
Tracer Pack: Necro Queen Reactive Mastercraft

Warzone The Haunting - LAPA SMG

Last but not least importantly, the LAPA SMG will make its debut in Warzone with The Haunting. Players will have to complete all nine challenges during the event to acquire it.
