The last new weapon is the Pumpkin Launcher which boasts the destruction capabilities of an RPG but shoots explosive jack-o’-lanterns instead of rockets.
Witch Broom and Sanguine Sweets
Witch Broom is the latest traversal item in 2023 that launches players a decent amount into the air and from where they can glide to any direction they want on the flying broom. In the spirit of the Halloween season, sweets such as Candy Corn, Pepper Mints, Hop Drops, and Jelly Beans have been unvalued, with each of them “offering a distinct benefit”.
