If you've loaded into the game, you've probably already noticed one of the new maps (listed below). Not only are there new cosmetics, but a lot of older models have been refined and remade. Some weapons have also received new models. Some cosmetics now have differentiating styles. There's also been fixes to a good amount of pesky bugs, and new effects for a special kind of weapon. ―Main changes section.

A brand new Rented quality has been added to the game. While still technically unobtainable, players can temporarily rent a weapon with this quality if they don't own it for a contract.

New Fittanium Effects

[

Fittanium weapons have shifted to a new color scheme. Newly and previously earned Fittaniums will both use the new colors. Not only do they have a new color, but they also have their own particle effects and use a special kill effect on opponents.

]

Fittanium effects are now altered to be purple rather than golden and a particle effect addition by an uncredited Ascorbine.
Fittanium weapons now possess a special kill effect upon killing an enemy, where the ragdoll turns into a purple statue.

Trivia

• The in-game update log states that the update released on October 29, rather than October 28.
• While the introduction mentioned it is the third installment of Typical Colors 2's Halloween Updates, Typical Horrors III is technically the fourth installment due to the presence of the Halloween 2018 update.
• For the first 6 minutes of the update, the scrapped Heal Bomb was in the Fitten Co. Store.
• According to an unused render that was scheduled for this update, a remodel of Short Circuit was originally going to be implemented, but it was delayed and was instead added in the Kringle's Annual New Year Expansion update.
  • Shown in another render, a reskin for the Six Point Shuriken was planned to be added, but was scrapped for unknown reasons.
