Halloween Contracts are a set of Contracts for use with the ConTracker during Halloween Events. The Contracts were introduced in the Scream Fortress 2017 Event and were expanded in the following Scream Fortress 2018 Event. These contracts are free for every user, similar to the Pyroland Contracts, but are active only during Events.
These contracts are navigated, selected, tracked, and turned in using the ConTracker. Every contract completed and turned in earns a Halloween Package, an Action Item that opens to give out any single Halloween-restricted item from the previous updates, similar to the Goodie Cauldron or the Gift Cauldron. These Contracts range from Boss contracts, like the defeating the Horseless Headless Horseman, to contacts completed on Community and Valve maps.
Halloween Contracts, when completed and turned in, count as Merasmissions on the Soul Gargoyle.
Strategy
- Be polite: Don't greedily pick up Crumpkins if some other player needs them for Contracts (or the Candy Coroner achievement) or can make better tactical use of them.
- Be efficient: If there is a Bonus Objective that a player can accomplish reasonably quickly (there are several in the Halloween set), the souls collected while focusing on that Bonus first can simultaneously completely fulfill the Primary Objective.
- Have a plan: It is possible to turn in all Halloween Contracts in the set by completing only one Objective per Halloween Contract; however, once a last Star has been used to activate a Halloween Contract, at least one Objective must be completed and turned on that Contract before activating any other. Turning in a few extra Bonus Objectives gives more flexibility in queuing up for maps.
- Mmph mmmph mph-mph mmph mmmmph! Several Halloween Contracts have a Bonus Objective of collecting Halloween pumpkins, with enough souls collectible in the effort to complete the Primary Objective at the same time.
- The Spyro technique (augmented with the Powerjack for flanking) is particularly effective at this, both creating and immediately picking up the pumpkins.
- Alternatively, discharging an Mmmph into an enemy crowd can easily drop one or more Crumpkins, which can be quickly picked up to continue the crit-kill spree (if you survive).
- Follow the Boss around during a truce; Boss kills have a much higher rate of dropping Halloween pumpkins.
- C'mere, Crumpkill! To score Crumpkin kills, the Spy, Scout, or Pyro can set up rear ambushes on multiple players that are close to each other, picking up any Halloween pumpkin that drops from the first kill to kill the others nearby. Look for narrow passages from the enemy spawn or for pushes on a KOTH Capture point for group ambushes.
- Y'all know what, you're not scary, you're just weird. The Boss contracts are completed simply by playing one entire round, from Setup time to completely through Humiliation, in which the player contributed to the defeat of the Boss.
- I make it look easy! If the player's objective is to complete only a few easy Bonus Objectives, then "Escape from Loot Island" (Eyeaduct) and "Stun Merasmus with a Bomb Head" (Ghost Fort) are high-scoring, easy actions that can be done many times in a round, rapidly completing both the Bonus and Primary Objective.
- Deposit soul/gib Objectives can be easily completed before the Primary Objective is completed.
- And these bodies. Do they have to be under the circus? Picking up a Soul Gargoyle adds 10 Contract Points all at once to the Primary Objective of the active Halloween Contract!

- In the Pit of Death Contract, repetitively dropping and picking up soul will count towards the bonus objective.
- In the Harvest Event Contract, killing a player with a weapon that causes stun (such as the Natascha, Loose Cannon) counts as killing a player scared by a ghost.
- In the Mann Manor Contract, the 'Capture or Defend an objective on Mann Manor' Bonus incorrectly displays the progress as 7/8 when completed.
