The 99 Nights in the Forest Ghost Ranger is a limited-time class you buy from the Halloween Shop for 1,000 Candy. It arrived with the Hedge Maze Refresh update on October 31, 2026, and starts you with the Ghost Crossbow, a weapon whose arrows pass through enemies. If you want it, the main job is collecting enough Candy before the Halloween content leaves, and the end date hasn’t been confirmed.

How to unlock the Ghost Ranger class
The Ghost Ranger is sold in the Halloween Shop rather than the daily Diamond class shop, so Diamonds won’t help. You pay in Candy, the event currency. Reports agree on a price of 1,000 Candy, and the class has no Diamond or Robux price listed in any source we found.
Candy comes from a few places:
- Trick-or-treating. Reports describe collecting costume pieces, lighting decorated houses with a Halloween Candle, then knocking at night. This detail comes from community guides, not a developer post.
- Hedge Maze chests. Opening chests and finishing the maze earns Candy.
- Halloween classes. The Halloween Shop sells classes that boost your Candy earnings. The Trick or Treater class costs 30 Candy and has no survival perks, but it’s built for farming.
Candy is saved to your account rather than reset each run, according to one community guide. That means you can build up the 1,000 over several sessions. Don’t expect a shortcut from codes: as of October 22, one guide found no 2026 Halloween code, and the working codes pay Diamonds, not Candy. That check is a couple of weeks old, so verify before you rely on it.
Ghost Ranger perks and level requirements
Every class has three levels. Here is what’s documented for the Ghost Ranger:
| Level | Perk | How to unlock |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Start with a Ghost Crossbow | Included on purchase |
| 2 | Enemy projectiles have a 25% chance to pass through you | Shoot 100 enemies with the Ghost Crossbow |
| 3 | Not described in the sources we found | Shoot 300 enemies with the Ghost Crossbow |
The level 3 reward is the gap. One guide gives the requirement but not what you get, so we aren’t going to guess. The 25% chance means enemy projectiles are only sometimes harmless, so it won’t replace healing or cover.
Because both upgrades depend on crossbow kills, don’t swap to another weapon if you want to level it quickly. The requirement is tied to the Ghost Crossbow specifically.
Ghost Crossbow stats
The developers haven’t published damage, range or reload numbers that we could find, so any “stats” table elsewhere should be treated as unverified. What is documented is the behavior: the arrows pass through enemies, which makes the weapon useful against groups.
Player reports go further, though they are opinion. One commenter on a class comparison video said the crossbow has infinite ammo, fires seven shots per magazine, and can kill a cultist with one magazine. The same commenter said it has a small hitbox, is somewhat inaccurate, and sometimes phases through enemies. We couldn’t verify any of this independently, so treat it as one player’s impression.
Ghost Ranger vs Witch class
The Witch is the other Halloween class on offer, and it’s the natural comparison. The two play very differently: one is a ranged weapon user, the other a potion thrower.
| Ghost Ranger | Witch | |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Halloween Shop | Halloween Shop |
| Price | 1,000 Candy | Disputed: 900, 1,000 or 2,000 Candy |
| Starter tool | Ghost Crossbow | Potion |
| Level 2 | 25% chance enemy projectiles pass through you | Throw potions at allies to heal a small amount |
| Level 3 | Unknown | All potion effects also apply a light poison |
The Witch’s price is the problem. One community wiki lists 900 Candy, which matches last year’s event. A video commenter implied about 1,000, and a news site’s patch notes say 2,000 Candy Corn. We can’t resolve that, so check the in-game shop before you commit.
On which is better, the only evidence we have is player opinion. The commenter quoted above called the Ghost Ranger disappointing for its price and described the Witch as one of the best classes in the game. That is a single viewpoint. If you play with a team and value healing and utility, the Witch’s potion kit may appeal more. If you prefer a straightforward ranged weapon that handles groups, the Ghost Ranger fits. If you can only afford one, price the Witch first.
What we don’t know
- End date. Neither class has a confirmed end date. Guides describe the Ghost Ranger as limited-time without saying when.
- Level 3 perk. The reward hasn’t been documented in the sources we checked.
- Crossbow numbers. Damage, range and reload are unpublished.
- Witch price. Sources disagree.
