Halloween: Most Wanted Guide

A Wanted poster of Pumpkin Jack on a night street

01. The Festival

Treat this as one event with one currency, not eight separate events. Almost every tab pays out Caramel Apples, and Caramel Apples do exactly one thing: buy attacks in Pumpkin Chase. Those attacks then feed the Warrant Pass and the Pumpkin Chase daily chest and leaderboard. Plan the week around how many apples you can earn, and when you spend them.

Everything lives under the Halloween: Most Wanted icon on the main screen. The icon appears at Chief's Office Lvl 7. Below that you cannot open any tab.

Tab	What You Do	Pays Apples?	Length
Pumpkin Chase	Spend apples to attack. Earns Capture Points.	Spends them	8 days
Appreciation Station	Prize-board draws, Assignments, Exchange shop	No	5 days
Halloween: Most Wanted (Warrant Pass)	21-level pass leveled by Capture Points	No	7 days
King of the Hunt	7 one-day scoring phases	Yes — the most	7 days
Candy Collection	Daily tasks give candy; trade with your alliance	Yes	7 days
Halloween Clue Board	5 × 3 bingo card	Yes	7 days
Trick or Treat	Top-up ladder with a march skin	No	7 days
Caramel Apple Rush	Apples drop from normal play	Yes	7 days

Lengths are the listed durations. Each tab shows its own countdown — trust the countdown. All daily counters (Pumpkin Chase daily chest, Candy tasks and requests) roll over at 00:00 UTC.

02. Caramel Apples

Criminals are the best apple source in the festival, and Diamonds are the worst. One Criminal defeat drops 10–30 apples (20 on average) — that is one full attack in the Pumpkin Chase. Spending Diamonds pays 1 apple per 100 Diamonds, so one attack costs 2,000 Diamonds. Never spend Diamonds just to make apples. Every attack costs 20 Caramel Apples.

Source	Apples	Max
King of the Hunt progress rewards	250 / 300 / 350 / 400 / 400 per phase ladder	1,700 per phase · 11,900 total
Rush: Defeat Criminals	10–30 per Criminal (avg 20)	4,000 drop limit
Rush: Confiscate Resources	10–20 per hour of confiscating (avg 15)	3,000 drop limit
Rush: Use Speedups	1 per 12 minutes of speedups	No limit shown
Rush: Spend Diamonds	1 per 100 Diamonds	No limit shown
Clue Board chests	300 per row, 600 per column, 2,000 grand chest	2,400 free · 5,300 with a pack
Candy Collection sets	160 per completed set	960
Warrant Pass (paid tracks)	240 Midnight Warrant, 500 Golden Warrant	740
Jack's Bounty	Lottery prize inside Pumpkin Chase	Ignore it

Rush rates are from the in-game rules. The Rush tab shows "Drop Limit: x/4,000" and "x/3,000". The game does not say if those limits refill daily or are for the whole event — check the counter after 00:00 UTC on day 2. At the averages, the Criminal limit is about 200 Criminals and the confiscation limit is about 200 march-hours.

Apple Budget — Members Only

Signup to unlock this content.

Spend every apple before Pumpkin Chase ends. Each leftover apple becomes one 1K Resource Supply Chest. That is a poor trade for something worth one-twentieth of an attack.

03. Pumpkin Chase

The daily chest only counts apples spent that day, so a stockpile is a mistake. Reach 300 Capture Points in one day (150 attacks, 3,000 apples) and claim the chest: 2 Legendary Universal Hero Fragments, 3 Hardened Steel, and a 3-Hr Universal Speedup. The counter resets at 00:00 UTC. A player who saves 21,000 apples and spends them on the last day gets one chest. A player who spends 3,000 a day gets seven. The pass level and leaderboard score come out the same either way.

How An Attack Works

▸Each attack costs 20 apples and gives 2 Capture Points (in-game rules).
▸You attack whatever is on screen. A Pumpkin Henchman is the normal target.
▸When a Henchman goes down, Pumpkin Jack has a 20% chance to show up. He stays for 3–15 attacks, most often just 3 (56%), then escapes (in-game rules).
▸Lucky Combo gives a random number of free attacks. Free attacks cost nothing and keep Auto-Attack running even with 0 apples.
▸Auto-Attack unlocks after 60 attacks. It only runs while the event screen is open. Opening any window stops it.

Drops

A Pumpkin Henchman on a pumpkin motorcycle

A Jack attack is worth far more than a Henchman attack: about 260 Diamonds on average (20% chance of 1K Diamonds) against about 10. You cannot choose your target, so this changes nothing about how you play. Just keep attacking.

Pool	Main Drops (one per attack)
Henchman — attack	5-Min Construction / Research / Training Speedup 23% each, 5K Hero EXP 17%, 100 Diamonds 10%, Donuts 3%, Hero Eqpt. Chest 1%
Henchman — defeat	100 Diamonds 86%, 1-Hr Universal Speedup 8%, Hardened Steel 2%, Chief Eqpt. Materials Chest 2%, Chief Badge Material Chest 2%
Pumpkin Jack — attack	100 Diamonds 60.5%, 1K Diamonds 20%, 3-Hr Universal Speedup 12%, Hardened Steel 2%, Chief Eqpt. Materials Chest 2%, Chief Badge Material Chest 2%, Hero Eqpt. Chest ×2 1.5%

🚫 Jack's Bounty

The Bounty banner shows a big apple prize (40% of the Bounty Points pool). The in-game rules give a chance only after the 10th attack of one Jack visit: 0.6% with 10,000–19,999 Bounty Points and 1% with 20,000+. Fewer than 1 Jack visit in 10 lasts more than 10 attacks. The winner feed also shows winners from other servers. Count it as a bonus if it happens. Never plan around it.

Leaderboard

Rank is total Capture Points, which means total attacks, which means total apples. The top 10 get the permanent Sweet Deception PD skin (+2% Squad Attack). Free players should aim for the daily chest, not a rank.

Rank	Sweet Deception	Diamonds	1-Hr Speedups (each type)
1	Permanent	80,000	30
2	Permanent	48,000	21
3	Permanent	28,800	18
4–5	Permanent	18,000	14
6–10	Permanent	10,000	11
11–25	30 days	5,000	8
26–50	—	3,000	5
51–200	—	1,000	2

Speedups are 1-Hr Construction, Research, and Training Speedups. Rewards arrive by mail.

04. Warrant Pass

Hitting the daily chest every day maxes the pass exactly. The pass has 21 levels at 100 points each, so Lvl 21 needs 2,100 points. The daily chest needs 300 points a day. Seven days of daily chests is 300 × 7 = 2,100. One routine covers both rewards. The pass is the tab named Halloween: Most Wanted inside the festival, and the in-game rules say Pumpkin Chase Capture Points level it.

⭐ Buy Late, Not Never

Buying the Midnight Warrant unlocks every level you have already reached, all at once. Buying early gains you nothing, so wait until the last day of the pass and buy only if your level makes it worth it. The Golden Warrant needs the Midnight Warrant first. Neither can be bought after the pass ends. Prices show only in the game.

Both Warrants now pay Caramel Apples: 740 together (37 attacks). A late buy is still safe. Pumpkin Chase runs one day longer than the pass, so spend those apples before the chase ends.

Free	1-Hr Universal Speedup ×14, 3-Hr Universal Speedup ×3, Legendary Deployment Skill Book ×3, Legendary Patrol Skill Book ×2, Hero Eqpt. Chest ×2, Legendary Recruitment ×1, Legendary Universal Hero Fragment ×1, 1K Diamonds ×2, 10K Hero EXP ×1, Sweet Deception (3 days)

Points are not spent. Every level checks against your running total. Unclaimed rewards are mailed after the event.

05. King of the Hunt

Pumpkin Jack escaping on his pumpkin car

Every phase ladder pays 1,700 Caramel Apples (85 attacks), so this is your biggest apple source. There are seven phases, one per day, and each one scores different actions. The winning move is to hold each resource for the day it scores. Hardened Steel used on day 3 is worth 0 points. The same steel used on day 5 is worth 25,000 points each.

Day	Phase	Best Point Sources	Full Ladder
1	Power Sprint	Legendary Recruit 11,000 · Legendary hero fragment star-up 6,000 each · Epic Recruit 3,300 · +1 Power = 1	274,000 (~25 Legendary Recruits)
2	Arresting Criminals	Lvl 1–30 Criminal 9,900 · Crime Boss rally 30,000	586,500 (~60 Criminals)
3	Hero Growth	Recruits and fragment star-ups as day 1 · 1-min speedup 60	595,000
4	Officer Training	Lvl 10 Officer 118 each · promotion = level difference	274,000
5	Hero Equipment	Exclusive Equipment material 50,000 · Hardened Steel 25,000 · 1 Diamond = 10	595,000 (24 Hardened Steel)
6	Resource Confiscation	10 per 1,000 Ammo or Cash, 200 Electricity, or 50 Gas confiscated	595,000
7	Chief's Equipment	1-min speedup 60 · +1 Chief Eqpt. rating 50	595,000 (~165 hours of speedups)

Speedup tasks exclude speedups bought with Diamonds. The day 2 task text lists only Lvl 1–30 Criminals.

💡 Save For Day 2

Energy and Donuts. About 60 Criminals clears the whole day 2 ladder, and each Criminal also drops ~20 Rush apples. Run your Crime Boss rallies that day too.

💡 Save For Day 5

Hardened Steel (the Pumpkin Chase daily chest gives 3 a day) and Exclusive Equipment materials. Twelve materials or 24 steel clears the ladder.

Progress Ladder

Every phase pays the same five bundles. Only the point thresholds change. Claim them on the page.

Step	Days 1, 4	Day 2	Days 3, 5, 6, 7	Reward
1	26,000	72,000	19,000	250 apples, resources, 5-Min Healing Speedups
2	55,000	163,500	58,000	300 apples, resources, 1K Hero EXP ×2
3	98,000	291,000	170,000	350 apples, Epic Patrol and Deployment Skill Books ×5 each
4	169,000	433,500	339,000	400 apples, Legendary Patrol and Deployment Skill Books ×3 each
5	274,000	586,500	595,000	400 apples, Legendary Recruitment, 2,000 Diamonds

Ranking Rewards

Phase rankings need at least 20,000 points that day and a rank in the top 100. Phase 1 pays 14,000 Diamonds for first place, and Phase 4 (Officer Training) pays the most of any phase: 20,000 Diamonds plus Legendary Recruitments for first place. The overall ranking gives the Theater of Thrills Player Card (+1.5% Squad Penetration): permanent for ranks 1–25, 7 days for 26–50, and 3 days for 51–100.

06. Appreciation Station

For a free player this is a 20-draw event, and the real prize is in the Exchange. Assignments give 20 Thank-You Stamps (1 draw each) and 30 Commendation Stars, once, for the whole event. Twenty draws average 62–98 Stars, depending on your server's prize tier. With the 30 Assignment Stars, that is about 90–130 Stars in total. In the Exchange, 10 Legendary Universal Hero Fragments cost only 50 Stars. That is one or two purchases, or 10–20 fragments, from free play.

Assignment	Targets	Total Reward
Log in	1 / 2 / 3 days	6 Stamps
Complete Intel Cases	5 / 15 / 30 / 50	8 Stamps
Rally and defeat Crime Bosses	3 / 10 / 30	6 Stamps
Compete in the Arena	5 / 10 / 15	30 Stars

More Stamps come only from the Thank-You Pack (paid). The draw tab runs 5 days. The rules say the Exchange stays open on day 5 — check the Exchange countdown before you assume a later day.

The Prize Board

Twelve cells, one prize per draw. The four corners hold the Star jackpots, and together they hit only 2% of the time. Each draw also adds 1 Gratitude. At 100 Gratitude you get a Bonus Draw that always lands on a corner. That is the only guarantee on the board, and free players never reach it.

Prize	Chance
1-Hr Universal Speedup ×1	20%
Advanced Bulletproof Fibers ×1	20%
1K Diamonds	16%
Advanced Bulletproof Fibers ×5	14%
Hero Eqpt. Chest	13%
Hardened Steel	12%
Legendary Universal Hero Fragment	1.8%
3-Hr Universal Speedup	1.2%
Corner: Commendation Star ×80 / 100 / 125	1%
Corner: Commendation Star ×160 / 200 / 250	0.5%
Corner: Commendation Star ×240 / 300 / 375	0.3%
Corner: Commendation Star ×400 / 500 / 625	0.2%

The three corner amounts are prize tiers 1 / 2 / 3. The tier is set when the event starts: tier 1 for servers on day 1–69, tier 2 for older servers whose State is on day 1–154, and tier 3 for older States.

Draw-count milestones: 10 draws (1K Diamonds ×3), 30 (Hardened Steel ×25), 70 (Advanced Bulletproof Fibers ×150), 200 (Legendary Hero Eqpt. Chest of your choice), then 400 / 600 / 1,000 (Eqpt. Progression Chests). Tier 1 servers get smaller ones: Hardened Steel ×20 at 30, Fibers ×100 at 70, and Hardened Steel or Hero Eqpt. Chests from 400. With 20 free Stamps you reach only the first one.

The Exchange

Item	Stars	Limit	Take?

1-Hr Universal Speedup ×24	40	100	Filler

✓ Leftovers Carry Over

Thank-You Stamps and Commendation Stars are not reset. You can use them in the next event, so never dump Stars on filler just because the timer is low. Gratitude works differently: each full 100 becomes Stars by mail, and anything under 100 is lost.

07. Candy Collection

Two officers sharing a plate of Halloween candy

You will not finish this alone, and every duplicate you gift pays 100 Diamonds. There are 18 candies in 6 sets of 3. Each Mystery Candy Bag gives one candy at random, all equally likely, with no protection against repeats. Seven days of tasks give 35 bags, which average about 15.6 different candies. That leaves about 19 duplicates. Gift all of them for roughly 1,900 Diamonds. Leftover candy becomes 1K Resource Supply Chests at the end.

Daily Task	Mystery Candy Bags
Log in	1
Defeat 10 Criminals	2
Complete 5 Intel Cases	2

Each task also gives 5-Min Universal Speedup ×4 and Basic Bulletproof Fibers ×5. Tasks reset at 00:00 UTC, and there is no claim-all button.

Set	Candies	Reward (plus 160 apples each)

Candy Swap

▸Request the candy that finishes a set. You get 3 requests a day, only one can be open at a time, and you can only ask for candy you are missing. Ask for the last piece of the set closest to done, starting with Hard Candy and Spooky Gummies.
▸Cancel a stale request. Canceling refunds the attempt, so a request nobody fills should not sit there all day.
▸Gift every duplicate. Only duplicates can be gifted (a filled slot never leaves). Each gift pays 100 Diamonds, and the game shows no daily gift limit.
▸Swap needs an alliance. Tasks and set rewards work without one.

08. Clue Board

One paid cell locks 2,900 of the board's 5,300 apples. The Halloween Clue Board is a 5 × 3 bingo card with its own 15 tasks. The corner cell "Purchase a pack containing 2,500 or more Top-Up Points" sits in row 1 and column 1, so without a purchase those two chests and the grand chest never open. Every other cell is free, so with no spending the board pays 2,400 apples (four rows and two columns).

Task	Target	Needs

Log in	1 day
Compete in the Arena	20

Grand chest (all 15)	2,000 apples, Legendary Universal Hero Fragment ×2, Skins Coin ×100, plus 1-Hr Universal Speedup ×20 or Electro Core ×40

▸Claim every cell. A line chest stays locked until each of its cells is claimed, not just complete.
▸Speedups or Electro Cores. The game picks which version of the chests you see. You cannot choose.
▸No daily reset. Cells count once for the whole event.
▸Three cells need an alliance. Contribute, Assist, and Claim Alliance Gifts block three lines. Without an alliance, the no-spend total falls to 1,200 apples.

09. Trick or Treat

Only purchases move this ladder, so it matters only if you already plan to buy. It uses the same reward ladder as the Independence Day event. Only the final skin is different. You earn Top-Up Points from purchases, and the ladder tops out at 30,000 points with the permanent Blazing Lantern march skin (+5% Criminal Pursuit Speed). The Top Up Now button opens the Halloween Goodies Pack.

Stage	Total Points	Headline Rewards
1	2,500	1K Diamonds, Hero Eqpt. Chest, 1-Hr speedups
2	7,500	Legendary Recruitment ×5, 1K Diamonds ×2, speedups
3	12,500	Legendary Patrol Skill Book ×5, 1K Diamonds ×3, speedups
4	20,000	Legendary Deployment Skill Book ×5, speedups
5	30,000	Blazing Lantern (Permanent), Legendary Universal Hero Fragment ×2, speedups

⭐ One Pack, Two Events

If you plan to buy anything, buy a pack worth 2,500+ Top-Up Points while both tabs are open. It completes the paid Clue Board cell (worth 2,900 apples and the grand chest) and reaches Trick or Treat stage 1 at the same time. The calendar says "Spend", but the tab says "Top up". It is not confirmed whether Diamond spending counts here.

10. Task Overlap

One Criminal can count in four places at once. The festival's tabs share the same actions, so the best day to do each action is the day it scores in King of the Hunt. That day it pays every tab at once instead of three.

If the Rush limits turn out to refill daily, spread Criminals over the week instead of saving them all for day 2.

11. Common Mistakes

▸ Saving apples for one big session. The daily chest counts one day at a time. Spend 3,000 a day, not 21,000 at the end.
▸ Buying the Warrant early. Reached levels unlock when you buy, so buy on the pass's last day — but before it closes.
▸ Spending Diamonds for apples. At 1 apple per 100 Diamonds, one attack costs 2,000 Diamonds.
▸ Using King of the Hunt resources on the wrong day. Hardened Steel, recruits, Energy, and speedups each score on one day only.
▸ Leaving apples and candy unused. Both turn into 1K Resource Supply Chests when the event ends.
▸ Leaving Clue Board cells unclaimed. A complete but unclaimed cell keeps its row and column chests locked.
▸ Hoarding candy duplicates. Each one gifted is 100 Diamonds. Each one kept becomes a 1K chest.

TL;DR — The Quick Hits

1. Caramel Apples are the festival's one currency. 20 apples = 1 Pumpkin Chase attack = 2 Capture Points.
2. Hit 300 Capture Points (150 attacks, 3,000 apples) every day for the daily chest. It resets at 00:00 UTC.
3. Seven daily chests = 2,100 points = Warrant Pass Lvl 21, exactly.
4. Buy the Midnight or Golden Warrant late. It unlocks every level you already reached.
5. King of the Hunt is the biggest apple source: 1,700 per phase, 11,900 total.
6. Save Energy and Donuts for day 2, and Hardened Steel and Exclusive Equipment materials for day 5.
7. Criminals give ~20 Rush apples each. Diamonds give 1 per 100. Never buy apples with Diamonds.
8. Ignore Jack's Bounty. The rules put it at 1% or less, and only on rare long Jack visits.
9. Appreciation Station: free players get 20 draws. Spend Stars on 10 Legendary Universal Hero Fragments for 50.
10. Stamps and Stars carry over to the next event. Gratitude under 100 does not.
11. Candy: request the piece that finishes a set, and gift every duplicate for 100 Diamonds.
12. The Clue Board's paid cell locks 2,900 apples. With no spending you get 2,400.
13. One 2,500+ Top-Up Point pack completes the Clue Board cell and Trick or Treat stage 1.
14. Spend every apple and gift every candy before the end. Leftovers become 1K Resource Supply Chests.
