Weekend matches award more XP and ZP during Zula’s Halloween 2026 program. From October 30 to November 1, Competitive TDM and Battle Royale offer 50% XP and 50% ZP bonuses, while Vampire mode offers 25% XP and 25% ZP bonuses. The October 31 ÖTS held that same weekend also offers rewards for completing matches and ranking. Players have two separate objectives: playing bonus modes and meeting the ÖTS requirements. Planning without combining one event’s bonus rates with the other’s rewards makes it clear what you can expect from each event.
Competitive TDM, Battle Royale, and Vampire Bonuses
The weekend bonuses do not apply at a single rate across all game modes. Here is a comparison of the three modes listed in the official announcement:
| Competitive TDM | 50% | 50% | October 30–November 1 |
| Battle Royale | 50% | 50% | October 30–November 1 |
| Vampire | 25% | 25% | October 30–November 1 |
The rates in the table represent the announced bonuses for XP and ZP earned in matches. They should not be treated as an additional balance awarded for Zula Gold purchases. Also, do not assume you will receive the same bonus when entering a mode that is not included in the announcement. Choosing a mode based solely on its bonus rate may not produce the best results for every player. Sticking with a mode you know and enjoy may feel more efficient than switching to an unfamiliar format just to secure a higher percentage. These rates alone are not enough to calculate exact earnings per hour, as match conditions and individual results vary.
The October 31 ÖTS Has Two Separate Reward Objectives
Players who complete all their matches in the ÖTS between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM on October 31 will receive a Gothic Guaranteed King Deck. The announced reward for players who finish in the top 10 is a 30-day Witch Costume. One reward is tied to completing matches, while the other depends on ranking performance. Keep this distinction in mind when deciding how much time to allocate to the ÖTS. Players who want to meet the announcement’s match-completion requirement should arrange their schedules around the event hours. Those aiming for the ranking reward should understand that participating alone does not guarantee a top-10 finish.
The “1,000,000 Zula Gold” mentioned in the announcement title does not mean every participant will receive that amount. Do not calculate it as personal earnings. Focusing on the clearly stated completion and top-10 rewards is the most practical way to set accurate expectations.
Quick Checklist Before the Weekend Begins
First, choose the mode you will play and review its bonus. If you will also participate in the ÖTS, set aside the October 31, 8:00 PM–10:00 PM time slot separately. Open the in-game event screen and read the participation and reward details; playing a bonus match and completing all ÖTS matches are different objectives. This distinction is particularly useful for players with limited time. Instead of viewing the entire weekend as a single reward package, you can evaluate the match bonuses and tournament objective separately.
Itemgold’s Take
The most useful aspect of the Halloween program is that it accommodates different playstyles. Competitive TDM and Battle Royale offer higher bonuses, while Vampire is also included in the event with its own rates. For the ÖTS, it makes sense to focus first on the completion requirement and then on the ranking objective.
Players planning a separate store purchase can browse the ItemGold Zula Gold category and the 3,000 Zula Gold product. Check the product’s account and region requirements. Purchasing Zula Gold is not a participation requirement for these XP/ZP bonuses or ÖTS rewards.
