Halloween Terror Challenge Missions
Available Only For Junkenstein Mode
Challenge Missions returns in this year's Halloween Terror event available for Junkenstein Mode. Players will be able to choose between 6 modified versions of the featured game mode, such as a reduced 3-player team or faster-moving Zomnics.
Below is the list of Challenge Missions available for this year's Halloween Terror event.
| Halloween Terror 2022 Challenge Missions | |
|---|---|
| Challenge | Details |
 |
In this challenge, an invincible ghost impedes the players as they try to complete Junkenstein's Revenge. This vengeful ghost damages the players and cannot be defeated. |
 |
As the in-game description implies, the Zomnics in this challenge move faster, increasing the difficulty. Other than that, everything else is the same as the regular Junkenstein's Revenge. |
 |
Instead of the regular 4-player teams, players will form a 3-person team to take on Junkenstein's Revenge. It's not all doom and gloom, however, as each player's damage output is also increased to compensate for the diminished manpower. |
 |
When defeating an enemy it may randomly spawn a Shock-Tire in its place. Shock-Tires usually only spawn during boss waves in the regular version of Junkenstein's Revenge, but in this challenge, they also spawn during regular enemy waves. |
 |
In this challenge, whenever Zomnics get within close proximity to the player they explode, damaging the player. |
 |
In this challenge, players' heroes randomly swap mid-battle. This 'mystery swap' happens at frequent intervals. |

In this year's Halloween Terror event, players can obtain rewards by completing the event challenges, which will give them Battle Pass XP and cosmetics. Previous Halloween Terror Event had a wide range of Halloween-themed skins and other cosmetics such as sprays, icons, emotes, and intros available through weekly challenges, loot boxes, and purchases.

In these 2 short comics, the tale of how 4 heroes take on the evil Dr. Junkenstein and his creations bring peace to the town of Adlersbrunn.

Halloween Terror Previous Brawls
Junkenstein's Revenge
In Junkenstein's Revenge, players team up in a 4 player co-op PVE brawl. Each player chooses one out of a limited roster of heroes to defend the castle doors in the fight against Dr. Junkenstein and his fiends.
If a player dies, they respawn after a 12-second wait period. If at any point, all 4 players are simultaneously eliminated, the game ends. If the doors are broken down by the enemy (all door health is eliminated) the game ends. The players win by successfully defeating all of the enemies and bosses.
Junkenstein's Endless
Similarly to Junkenstein's Revenge, players form a 4-person team from a limited hero roster. They then must take down 12 waves of enemies and bosses to win. Additionally, 15 bonus waves and a final boss battle proceed with the first 12 waves. However, it is not considered a loss if these bonus waves are failed.
As with Junkenstein's Revenge, if all players are simultaneously eliminated, or the castle doors are destroyed, the game is over. This mode is faster-paced than Junkenstein's Revenge, with regular waves of enemies and bosses every minute.
