Gourd Grenades (halloween spell)
Gourd Grenades is a tool item. When applied to any explosive Demoman weapon, any explosion caused by the weapon appears orange in a similar manner to pumpkin bombs.
This effect is only active around Halloween or during a Full Moon; at other times of the year, it does not activate in gameplay, unless the server has Halloween mode enabled. However, items with the Spell applied can be equipped at any time and their effect becomes active on the loadout screen, even when it is not activate during matches.
Casting certain magic spells while equipping a weapon enchanted with this item causes the effects of the weapon's spell to carry over to the magic spells (specifically the changes in projectile and explosion effects). The projectiles of the Magic spells Fireball, Ball O' Lightning, and Meteor Shower gain a purple smoke trail, while the explosions of projectiles from the Magic spell Summon MONOCULUS become orange pumpkin bomb effects.
Prior to Scream Fortress 2015, it could be found during Halloween events inside of Haunted Halloween Gifts on Ghost Fort, or from a Pile of Curses.
