The Halloween The Game Tower Farm Terror update went live on October 27, 2026, and adds the Tower Farm map, a new sewer escape, the Scythe and Jack Ghoul Goggles. You unlock the Scythe through the new Scythe Progressive Challenges or by buying the 1989 Michael skin. You earn the Jack Ghoul Goggles by smashing 50 pumpkins with weapons before November 3 at 10 AM Pacific. Eugene Kelly and Michelle Blanton also gain new traits, “Lurker” and “Therapeutic”. However, the notes do not explain the Scythe challenges or give an exact sewer location.

What Tower Farm Terror Adds
IllFonic’s first major content update brings free and paid content. The announcement describes Tower Farm as a twilight map with farm houses, old barns, cornfields and irrigation structures.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Update | Tower Farm Terror, Patch 1.2.0 |
| Live date | October 27, 2026 |
| Map | Tower Farm, in Matchmaking and Private Matches |
| New escape | A sewer escape |
| New weapon | Scythe, a starting weapon |
| Cosmetic | Jack Ghoul Goggles for Civilians |
| Cross-play | PC and console matchmaking toggles |
The patch notes page does not label itself “1.2.0” in its text. The games press calls it Patch 1.020, and the file name suggests 1.2.0. Therefore, treat both labels as the same patch.
Tower Farm Map Guide
Tower Farm replaces suburban streets with open farmland. Because the setting is rural, sight lines run longer, and barns and sheds give you places to hide. Earlier coverage also mentions farm machinery, hay bales and overgrown brush as cover.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Setting | Twilight farmland near Haddonfield |
| Buildings | Farm houses and old barns |
| Terrain | Cornfields and irrigation structures |
| Modes | Matchmaking and Private Matches |
| Cost | Free for owners |
As a result, a Civilian should look for cover in the corn and plan an exit early. Michael, meanwhile, can use the open fields to track movement, but the same openness exposes him.
How to Find the Sewer Escape
The announcement says Tower Farm includes a new sewer escape, and that you can find it alongside the new Scythe. It does not give a location or a route. Therefore, I cannot name a spot.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Sewer escape | Confirmed on Tower Farm |
| Location | Not published |
| Link to the Scythe | The notes say you find them together |
| Escape routes list | Not published |
Here is how to find it yourself:
- Scan the irrigation structures. They are the most likely place for a drain or a pipe, but that is my guess.
- Check the edges of the map. Escapes often sit near boundaries.
- Follow Scythe discussion. The notes tie the two together.
- Note the spot after you find it. Then use it in later matches.
- Watch for Michael’s Blackout. The patch says Blackout now closes Escapes and locks doors in its radius, so a sewer could close at a bad moment.
How to Unlock the Scythe
The notes list two ways to unlock the Scythe, which is a starting weapon.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Free route | Complete the new Scythe Progressive Challenges |
| Paid route | Buy the 1989 Michael skin |
| Cost | Free challenges or the skin price |
The 1989 skin matches the Halloween 5 skin from the earlier announcements, which the developers priced at $9.99. The patch notes do not list the challenge steps. In addition, The Click says smashing pumpkins will not unlock the Scythe. As a result, check the in-game challenge menu for the Scythe track.
For the earlier announcement details, read our Halloween: The Game Scythe unlock guide.
How to Get Jack Ghoul Goggles
Jack Ghoul Goggles is a free Civilian cosmetic from a limited-time weekly challenge. The rule is simple: smash 50 pumpkins with weapons.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Challenge | Smash 50 pumpkins with weapons |
| Deadline | November 3 at 10 AM Pacific |
| Same time in the UK | 6 PM GMT, per The Click |
| Cost | Free, no DLC needed |
| Patch needed | 1.2.0 |
The Click adds three useful rules. Pumpkins only count if you break them with a weapon, and swinging at decoration is not enough. You must also install the patch first. Finally, check the weekly challenge screen to claim the reward, then equip it under Civilian cosmetics.
50 Pumpkins Challenge: Where to Look
No source gives a verified spawn list. The Click suggests these places.
- Tower Farm’s harvest festival. It holds many pumpkins.
- Pumpkin-filled gardens. Check them next.
- Nearby farmhouses. They hold extras.
- Other Haddonfield maps. The page mentions pumpkins elsewhere.
Because the counter may not move, check it before and after a match. If it stays at zero, confirm the patch, the active Jack challenge and your weapon. If the number does not rise, change your route instead of repeating the same area.
Eugene Kelly and Michelle Blanton Traits
The update gives both Civilians new traits.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Eugene Kelly, “Lurker” | Staying in stealth bushes increases stalk degradation and stamina regen |
| Michelle Blanton, “Therapeutic” | Using a healing item heals nearby wounded Civilians and Residents for 25% of the item’s application amount |
Therefore, Eugene suits hiding in cornfields and bushes, while Michelle suits a support role. In addition, Michelle’s trait works on Residents, so she helps protect them too. These strategy notes are my advice.
Balance Changes That Matter
The patch changes how Michael and Civilians play.
- Target discovery: target areas no longer show for Civilians at match start. Michael gains marking tiers as his Bloodthirst rises.
- Group combat: Michael gets higher damage, Bloodthirst gain and resistances when surrounded by three or more targets.
- Dazed: Civilians can no longer be Dazed, the Pickaxe no longer applies it and its duration is shorter.
- Blackout: it now closes Escapes and locks doors within its radius.
- Shadow Strike: it now deals damage.
- Perks and challenges: several values, counts and criteria changed.
The notes also add PC and console cross-play toggles, crash fixes, a Flare Gun aim fix and a fix for melee damage to breakable objects.
Tips for Tower Farm Matches
These tips are my advice.
- Update first. The challenges need Patch 1.2.0.
- Break pumpkins on the way. Do it between objectives.
- Pick Eugene for stealth. His trait rewards bushes.
- Pick Michelle for support. Her trait heals nearby allies.
- Plan your escape early. Blackout can close it.
- Check challenges after each match. Progress may not show mid-game.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Missing the deadline. The Goggles challenge ends November 3 at 10 AM PT.
- Swinging at decorations. Only weapon breaks count.
- Waiting on the Scythe challenges. The notes do not describe them.
- Trusting a sewer spot. No source publishes one.
- Skipping the patch. The challenge needs 1.2.0.
- Buying the wrong skin. The Scythe unlocks with the 1989 Michael skin.
Conclusion
The Halloween The Game Tower Farm Terror update brings the Tower Farm map, a sewer escape, the Scythe and Jack Ghoul Goggles. Unlock the Scythe through its challenges or the 1989 skin, and smash 50 pumpkins by November 3 for the Goggles. The sewer location and the Scythe challenge steps remain unconfirmed. Everything here is accurate as of October 29, 2026, and the developers may adjust the update.
