Halloween item question

[Chance]

Pretty simple and straight forward question, are there ANY halloween items that can be used outside of halloween? I think the flaming skull masks are pretty cool but can I actually wear them when halloween is over?

I own almost all flaming skulls from previous years, and i can say you can use them the entire year long, however the % XP bonus on those skulls is only during the event.
I think the normal Ichabod Pumpkin Head helmet that everyone gets u can only wear during the event, and rest of the year its locked.

The lightning AP cannon is a halloween event drop you can get (its reskinned) but im 85% sure you can use it after the event.

this is like all I wanted to know, now I just need to figure out how to get the pumpkin seeds for it

There are pumpkins scattered all over the maps, normally off and away from the roads and bases. Shoot them and you get seeds.

Also do keep in mind that the event helms have a fun habit of making the hitbox that is your head a bit bigger than normal. When they come with an exp boost most will look past this, when they don't.... Personally I switch back to the normal ones.

Noooo they look so cool though :( - and it takes me 10 mins just to find a single pumpkin so rip and the directive is insanely long so rip that too

The masks don't seem to have this probelm. For the others just tell yourself the exp boost makes it worth it (works for me), or stick to staying in vehicles.

Finding the pumpkins is easy once you start seeing the little pattens of where they like to turn up. Like most other things in this game, if you stick with it, the skills and habits will grow by themselves.

This Reddit thread has links to all 4 continents and the Pumpkins on them that have been detected previous years,

you can use these to find yourself a patern, and use it patrol the map.

From the experience there is another helmet than Pumpking helmet that is locked after the event. Skull noir.

i can wear the Skull Noir the rest of the year aswell, i just never wear it because its the helmet i like the least, yet gives the most bonus XP during event. 20%,

personally i like the Spectrum Helmet the most, but that one only gives 15% xp.

Something else i have noticed, in previous years people would get the Skull Blanc as a directive reward on either Bronze or Silver.

However, since the objectives for the directive has changed, that Skull Blanc helmet is now an RARE Helmet....

the only few other Helmets i can't wear the rest of the year, are my Christmas hat and Aurexiumed Christmas Hat, and the Funny Glasses and Nose, on April Fools day.

I has de Noir Blanc (white) one for my NC charecter? I got news for ya People will kill you over them. If you find a person lurking a prime spot and you poach em. They will flip their ♥♥♥♥ and outright murder you over you taking "their" pumpkin. They will squish you with a flash or even drop a gal on your head. Its a tradition. And the sno-men? Oh you think they get mad about pumpkins....I had a dude chase me in an aircraft and ♥♥♥♥ was like the shawshank redemption..... Or that pawnshop scene in Pulp fiction.....

I want to clarify my last comment as I have found out that alot of people don't know this..
There is 2 different Skull Noirs and the first version is called the Haunted Skull Noir.
It is not on the sale since it is exactly the same as the one already there.

I like this mask but really not feel like hunting so many seeds again... to wear it after the Halloween. I don't remember the Haunted version description was that long last time..
