Blood Moon in 2025?

[Archie]

My friend just fired up the game a few minutes ago, and apparently he got a Blood Moon on Tanglewood Drive

Is this a rare bug? Or a rare feature? I thought the Blood Moon ended way back in November??

There's like a 3% chance of it happening in any given game now.

Thanks. So it wasn't a bug after all.

I'm glad the devs actually heard our feedback. It'd be lame if the Blood Moon as only one-and-done

EDIT: Forgot to ask, do the Blood Moon still affects ghost behaviour? Or is it just aesthetics now??

The entire point of the event was for everyone to work together to unlock bloodmoons as a permanent part of the game. And yes, they still retain their effects on the ghosts.

TBH i barely partook in the event myself, just checked out the red maps a bit with a friend. But that's pretty cool to know

Yes. They do. Increased ghost movement speed and sanity drain for the player for 10% more xp

To add to this, the Blood Moon bonus is applied after all other standard cash/exp scoring is calculated, including Photos and the Bone Evidence. Daily/Weekly challenge payouts should be excluded.

Also - the Blood Moon weather pattern is -NOT- selectable in Custom Difficulty... you'd have to put it on Random for it to show up.

Just so you know, Blood Moon overrides all custom weather settings. You don't have to put it on Random.

As far as I'm personally aware, there's not really any proof that you can get the blood moon on a pre-selected weather pattern. And given it's rarity... it's kind of hard to conduct an experiment to find out.

Either way, there's no way to force the weather pattern to always show up... which was the main point I was trying to make.

I suppose so. Someone up above mentioned it should be somewhere around 3% chance to get ONE blood moon.

If that is true, then congrats, you hit the jackpot.

Also thanks everyone for the replies. Gonna play Phasmo tonight with a friend, see if i can get lucky too

I have had blood moons show up on several of my custom xp farming difficulties that have heavy rain set as the permanent weather.
