Spooky season is well and truly upon us and it looks like someone on the Diablo team is feeling a little cheeky, or maybe I just have a terrible sense of humor. Diablo 4 has just announced an in-game event titled 'Meat or Treat', yes really, and it's not just my boyfriends next pickup line, it's a chance to get some free stuff by logging into the game from October 29–November 1 at noon, PT,
Earn free treats from the Diablo 4 cosmetic shop
Log in each day from October 29 to November 1, and you can claim a complimentary gift from the store, up for grabs:
- October 29: The Recluse’s Host Mount
- October 30: Ichorflame Torch Mount Trophy
- October 31: Recluse’s Flask Mount Trophy
- November 1: Reclusive Trappings Mount Armor
If you do forget to log in, don't worry, all of the gifts can be claimed retroactively by logging in before November 5 at 12 p.m PT. After this date the items will leave the store for good.
Meat or Treat?
During the event, any Shrine in any dungeon can appear Red which means interacting it will set off the Meat or Treat high jinks. The shrine can apply a surprise effect to your dungeon which may be welcome or perhaps you'll regret touching it in the first place. We have no information on what the effects are at this stage. Maybe it'll rain gold! Or maybe it'll rain Mythic Uniques that, just for fun, you can't pick up. Can’t wait to see what kind of emotional rollercoaster Blizzard cook up with this.
Vases of Hatred
Roses are red 🥀So is blood 🩸Here is a gift 🎁 For your most bothersome bud 🖤Send a free bouquet of real toxic flowers with a wicked message to a frenemy 😈Do Mephisto’s bidding and earn in-game rewards at https://t.co/xpTYG8YlhC pic.twitter.com/drRlpmZPU9October 22, 2024
In other Diablo 4 news, the Vases of Hatred event kicks off today and runs through November 4, but it's only available for U.S. residents. If you happen to live in Los Angeles or New York City, you can send a special Diablo 4-themed gift — a bouquet of toxic flowers, symbolizing "Hatred" — to your most despised foe. Yes, seriously. They've even created a website for it: VasesOfHatred.com, where you can send one of these cursed arrangements while supplies last.
For those outside NYC and LA, you can still participate by sending a digital card instead. But, if you really want to get creative with your revenge and have your enemy's email, you could always sign them up for a deluge of car insurance spam — just a thought!
Anyone who sends either a physical or virtual Vase of Hatred will receive a Little Lady Mount bundle in-game, and this can be claimed after November 5.
