Randomly spawned across a continent near you, you'll find a space pumpkin! Destroy it for some sweet XP! Nanite of the Living Dead 2024 Directive Space Pumpkin season is back and this year we have decided to make some cosmetics themed around Dia De Los Muertos. Below you will find a table of what rewards you can reap! Veteran players will notice we are still distributing the older masks in the missions and the in the Novice tier of the directives! This will be changed next year for a new set of masks and the masks that are available now will be moved into a Directive Bundle for members to purchase in future. Infernal Facepaint from the Nanite of The Living Dead 2024 directive Muertos Banner and Frame Monthly Members Bundle October's Monthly Member Bundle contains:

• Phylactery [Perfect]
• NS Homerun

Directive Bundles Members can now purchase previous year's Halloween Directive rewards through Directive Bundles in the Members Only section of the Depot.

• Members can choose to purchase with A7, which will be for their CHARACTER only
• Members can also choose to pay with Daybreak Cash to unlock these cosmetics for their entire ACCOUNT
• These bundles will only be available during their respective seasons (Auraximas, Valentine's etc)

The first Directive Bundle will be for Nanite of the Living Dead 2023 which contains:

• Title: Infernal
• Halloween Banner 2023
• Halloween Banner Frame 2023

This Directive Bundle may feel a little lackluster compared to the future ones we will add. The reward structure for Directive Rewards have changed this year (2024), as previously described in our Directive Dev Letter. There are a LOT of items in PlanetSide 2 and as much as we strive to bring old or limited time items back to the depot (within reason), we would love to hear if there are any specific Seasonal Directive Rewards you would like brought back!
