Winners will be announced on Wednesday, November 2nd at 10am PST here on this post and on Twitter. The Top 5 winners (chosen by Piranha Staff) will receive the following PRIZES!

*Excluding Spooky Bundle 'Mech Packs

4th - Hero 'Mech of Choice

3rd - Platinum 'Mech Pack of Choice

2nd - Spooky Bundles 'Mech Pack of Choice

1st - Ultimate 'Mech Pack of Choice

THE RESULTS ARE IN!

I know it's often said in contests like these, but it truly was difficult to narrow it down to the top 5. In fact, we've extended it a couple numbers, and two Runners-Up will each be getting 1,000 MC and 1,000,000 C-Bills for their efforts. There were so many great submissions beyond these top 7 though, from the 'Mech band KISS, Spiderman, Spirit Bears, and amazing stories behind some of images and their creation. You all are so creative, a big thank you to everyone who participated! But without further ado, the Top 5 submissions for the 2022 Spooky and Spectacular Costume Screenshot Contest are...

In 5th Place, and the winner of a Spooky Bundle of Choice...

[Dyex]

Boo!

[Dyex]

Time to bring out my spooky troll builds for the EVENT that will make any team mate, scream in horror....

[Nuclear Harvest]

Assault brawl is a lot of fun
Brought all my dakka
Spooked my gf with my manic laughter
Made 6k dmg
10/10 would play every day

[Therax]

It would be nice to see a more complete schedule for these weekend events so that I can plan to be on when an event mode that interests me is taking place.

[Tin Roof Rusted]

Why do you do this stupid and make it an Event instead of QP!!!!

[Heavy Money]

Great choice! I love the boosted assault brawl. Please do this for other weight classes too.

And if there are any domination or conquest this time, please increase the ticket count this time!

[Banders]

Quick question; where do we submit our screenshots? Can I use steam?

So, I'm not sure if this is the where you're supposed to submit these? If I'm wrong, please let me know.

Have all the events been open to all tiers? This one obviously is . . asking because just finished getting farmed by folks I've only ever seen in videos (comp, YouTube, etc..) and never played against before. Quite a noticeable difference. Honestly, not too enjoyable.

Yes, I would be a tier 9 if there was one.

[Locked Bolt]

Here is my submission, tried to increase quality of the image by couldn't find the screen shot folder on my computer ,and then had to upload it to Imgur ,so this is the best I could do

This is the correct forum thread to submit your screenshots. Great pic!

[WarperJawa aka Tweet]

Here is my submission. My friend and I play together as he and I have since day 1 so it is only fitting to post a picture with both of us in it. We had a lot of fun shooting at each other to take these photos!

Just in case the dual mech photo is not a viable submission, I also included a mech bay photo (second photo) so you know which mech is mine. I hope instagram links are ok.

Why can't you set exactly the same conditions for the Quick Play too, so the players of both game modes would get the same opportunity to earn those rewards?

[Strelok7]

TRICK OR TREAT !! ( ( ' ) )

I died from overheating. In a no overheating match. Something seems off.

Event queue has no matchmaking algorithm, it puts together matches as soon as there's enough players queued.

I would also like to point out that removing tier restrictions in matchmaking has been something certain casual players have been asking for - nay, demanding - since forever. I think it's patently evident why it's a horrible idea.

It's not really "no overheating", rather cooling has been cranked up incredibly high. Ghost heat still applies and can still screw you up.
