RIVALS Update 24: Rivalsween, Gargoyle Tower and Weapon Changes

RIVALS got Update 24, which brings the Halloween event Rivalsween. The event started together with the patch and, according to the official event list, runs from 17 October, 01:00 UTC, to 7 November, 05:00 UTC. There is a new tower mode, new skins and several balance changes. Below is everything that could be confirmed (as of 18 October 2026).

Spooky Event and Candy

The base of the event is the Candy currency. You get it from Event Tasks, and to unlock them you first have to finish today's Daily Tasks. The event tasks also give you an extra Spooky Prize Wheel every day.

There is also Candy Rush. Every day you get a free x5 Candy boost until you collect 200 pieces. After that you keep collecting, just without the multiplier.

Watch out for one thing: Candy disappears when the event ends, so you have to spend it earlier. Do not expect fewer things to spend it on, because new items appeared in the shop just for this time.

Gargoyle Tower: a new mode

The biggest novelty is Gargoyle Tower. It is the second challenge in RIVALS history with a tower full of monsters. You climb to the top with your friends and escape by helicopter. You can find the mode on the Play page.

Rewards for escaping:

• Gargoyle Head Charm for escaping, even if you die.
• Conduction Wrap for escaping alive.
• Towerstone Wildcat Skin for escaping alive in SOLO mode.

Last year's Zombie Tower is back too. The reward for going solo is now the Towerstone Fists skin, and you pick up dropped weapons by pressing a button, so you will not grab them by accident. When you fall behind your team, one Grim Reaper appears, not 50 like before. The Towerstone Handgun from the previous edition can no longer be obtained.

New skins, case and bundle

The Spooky Skin Case is back with five completely new skins. The possible skins include Web Shooters, Jeremiah, Xenofrost, Mimic Wildcat, Gravelight and Machete. In the game the case costs 209 Robux. The Machete for the Knife now has Legendary rarity and new animations.

Other new things from the patch notes:

• Two new wraps on the main page of the shop: Nightmare and Ravensoul.
• Bat Bundle, a limited set of cosmetics.
• Creator charms: eliminate IncubatorTV or RODNY in a match to get them.
• Halloween lobby and interface, and the Arena is turned into towerstone.

If you prefer to get the case or the bundle at DzikShop, both are in the offer. The current price is in the shop, and you can pay with the payment methods available at checkout. The event can also be completed fully without spending any money, because some rewards come just from playing (for example the towers and Event Tasks).

Balance changes

Update 24 changes five weapons. According to the games.gg summary, it looks like this:

• Grenade Launcher: damage 40 to 45, crit 80 to 90, projectile speed 90 to 100, hitbox 0.75 to 0.85, reload 3.2 s to 2.5 s.
• Revolver: Quick Shot spread from 10° to 7°.
• Shorty: damage 7.5x10 to 8x10, crit 11.25x10 to 12x10.
• Spear: equip time 1.25 s to 0.6 s, throw damage 25 to 30, throw crit 50 to 60.
• Warpstone: hitbox from 4 to 0.25.

The biggest buff went to the Grenade Launcher: the reload is about 22% shorter and the damage is 12.5% higher. If you are only learning what is good in this game, check out the ranking of the best weapons in RIVALS or the beginner's guide.

What next

The event lasts until 7 November, so you have time for the towers and Candy. It is best to start with Daily Tasks, because without them you cannot start the event tasks. You can find all RIVALS items at DzikShop on the game page in the shop.
