You can use Trophies to perform Spins on the Spooky Crate to earn one of the seven new items. Here’s a list of the limited items you can obtain by performing spins on the Spooky Crate:

• Wraith’s Slash Sword
• Specter’s Bite Sword
• Phantom Reaper Sword
• Crypt Burst Explosion
• Banshee Wail Explosion

One of the latest ways to purchase exclusive items is the Haunted Merchant, found next to the Halloween Event countdown in the hub area. Purchasing new items through the Merchant requires Coins, which gives you access to an exclusive sword, explosion, emote, crate, and more.

The Haunted Merchant is only available for a limited time, so be sure to purchase the desired items before the shop is gone for good.
