The Halloween Gear Box is a limited-edition “gear box” introduced during the Halloween event. It appears as an orange-yellow open box that has a glow and, of course, has a carved pumpkin face in the front. It’s notable because it’s the first time the game introduced a gear-box format rather than just directly purchasing individual items. Here’s how to get it and what’s inside.

How to Obtain the Halloween Gear Box

There are multiple ways to obtain a Halloween Gear Box during the event:

You can buy it in the Event Shop (specifically the “Ghostly Gadgets” shop) for 30 Candy Corn currency. It can also be bought for 159 Robux.

You may receive it as a reward via certain event mechanics: for example, there’s a 20% chance from Dead Tree quest rewards.

It also shows up in other event-reward pools (like the digging minigame at a 11% chance) as well as a 10% chance to get it from the Witch’s Brew rewards. If you’re lucky, you can get it from the Jack-O-Lantern (5% chance).

What’s Inside in Halloween Gear Box (Chances)

When you open a Halloween Gear Box, you’ll receive exactly one gear from the box’s loot table. The gears themselves vary in rarity and effect. Here are the main possible items and their approximate drop chances:

• Bland Jelly: The most common gear in the box (~38%), a gear that gives 40 XP when used on a pet.
• Dig Trinket: (~24%) This gives an extra digging attempt in the digging minigame.
• Jack-O-Jelly: (~24%) A legendary gear that gives 100 XP to a pet.
• Sugar Watering Can: (~10%) This speeds up plant growth by 5% of their total growth time.
• Pumpkin Lollipop: (~4%) Increases the age of a Halloween pet by one.
• Toffee Tether: (~1%) Extremely rare, grants a unique mutation (Tethered) to a pet.

Because of these wide rarity tiers, opening dozens of boxes doesn’t guarantee you’ll get the higher tier items, but they offer a fun “lottery” during the event and the chance of something special.

Best Strategies for the Box

• Save event currency: Make sure you accumulate enough event-currency (e.g., Candy Corn) so you can buy multiple boxes when they’re available.
• Get as much as possible: If you’re interested in the top-tier items (e.g., Pumpkin Lollipop or Toffee Tether), open as many as possible for better chances.
• Keep an eye on the event timing: Since the box is only available for the duration of the Halloween event, make sure you open boxes and use any gears before the event ends.
• Track your luck: Because of the low probability of top-tier items, it’s helpful to keep track of how many boxes you’ve opened and what you got. That way you can decide if you want to keep farming or shift focus.

Overall, the Halloween Gear Box makes gear purchasing more interesting – instead of always knowing exactly what you’re buying, you have the Thrill of possibly obtaining a rare, game-changing gear. Secondly, some of the gears inside (like the Divine or Prismatic tier) can give useful advantages whether it’s to your plants’ growth or your pets’ power. So if you’re active in the event and willing to invest (via time or currency), the results are valuable.
