Is Jack-o’-Lantern out?
Not yet, but it’s close. The class’s unlock badge, Unlock the Jack-o’-Lantern class, was created on 16 October 2026 (02:04 UTC). At 05:36 UTC on 17 October it still had zero unlocks.
The game updated at 05:25 UTC on 17 October, and its name now ends in 🎃👻. The official Halloween Event on the game’s Roblox page starts at 14:00 UTC the same day. The developers’ own words: “We are adding a new currency and a limited-time class you can earn!”
The event doesn’t name the class. Jack-o’-Lantern is the only class that’s staged (in the game’s data but not switched on), so it’s almost certainly the one.
What’s confirmed and what isn’t
| Detail | Status |
|---|---|
| Class exists | Confirmed: badge created 16 October 2026 |
| Live in game | Not yet: zero unlocks at 05:36 UTC on 17 October |
| Halloween event | Confirmed: starts 17 October 2026, 14:00 UTC |
| Event adds a limited-time class | Confirmed by the event text, class not named |
| Earned with the new event currency | Likely, not confirmed |
| Price and Academy tier | Not published |
| Level 1–4 passives | Not published |
| Starter gear | Not published |
The first three rows are solid. We leave the rest blank on purpose, because a made-up price would have you saving for a number that doesn’t exist.
Why we know it’s coming
The developers create a badge whenever they add a class. That’s why the badge list shows new classes before any guide does.
A new badge with zero unlocks means the class is staged. Its first unlocks mean it’s live. Mercenary followed this exact path: badge on 23 September, live on 26 September.
When it might go live
Most likely when the Halloween event starts: 17 October 2026, 14:00 UTC. The event’s end date isn’t published.
“Limited-time” matters here. If the class can only be earned during the event, don’t put it off. Play the event early and stock up on the new currency.
What to do while you wait
Join when the event starts and find out how the new currency drops. The event says you “earn” the class, so it may not cost Cores at all. Still, bank some Cores in case it lands in the Academy shop instead. The get Cores guide covers the fastest ways to earn them, and the codes page has free Cores you can claim today.
The kit will follow the usual shape: four levels, with Level 4 always a team bonus for the whole server. Until it’s tested, the best classes tier list ranks what you can actually play, and the all classes page has the full price list.
