History[]
2012[]
Event[]
The Lotus' Halloween Skin.
During WARFRAME's closed Beta, Update 3 (2012-30-10) brought pumpkin crates to all missions. For the duration of the event Lotus's Transmission picture was changed to resemble her as a Vampire, with pale skin, sharp teeth and scarlet clothing.
2013[]
Event[]
Back in 2013, WARFRAME held their second Halloween event, this time enemies were changed to have Dullhalan heads with Rollers changed into Jack O'Lanterns. In survival missions the life support was reskinned to Jack o'Lantern towers with the life support capsules being individual pumpkins.
Pumpkin Carving Contest[]
Also held was a WARFRAME-themed Pumpkin Carving Contest
Running from October 25th-31st 2013, the top 5 winners recieved 
1000 for their WARFRAME-related pumpkin carvings.
This contest would be repeated again 3 years later in 2016.
Day of the Dead[]
The event also brought the first set of Day of The Dead Skins to the Market for 175.
2014[]
Tactical Alert[]
October of 2014 brought the first in-game event the Halloween 2014 Alert. Featuring Jack O'Lantern storage containers, saw-blade wielding Ancients and a spooky foggy atmosphere, this event gave 
666 as its reward, also dropping Nightmare Mods as a bonus from hidden caches.
Day of the Dead[]
This was also the first year to implement halloween cosmetics, adding the Naberus Shoulder Plates and the Halloween Color Picker to the market.
The second Day of The Dead pack would be released this year adding ten more skins to various weapons.
2015[]
Hallowed Nightmares[]
The Lotus' Halloween Skin.
The second Halloween Event, named Hallowed Nightmares was available from October 30th-November 2nd. This alert set Players Health and Shields to 100 and faced them against the first appearance of the Jack O'Naut. Unlike it's predecessor, the Jack O'Naut's only weakness comes from explosive Jack O'lanterns which leave an area of fire once destroyed. Once completed, a second slightly-harder version of this tactical alert becomes unlocked which also features 3 hidden caches containing Aura Mods and Nightmare Mods.
Lotus's Transmission picture was changed again to resemble her as a vampire, this time updated to her 3D model.
Costume Contest[]

Platinum prizes from 200- 1,500 + 1 Legendary Core and also a mystery prize for all winners in the event.

Day of the Dead[]
As is tradition, the third Day of The Dead pack would be added to the game, this time adding Syandanas and Orbiter skins to the Market. Baro Ki'Teer would also bring the Dark Sword Day of the Dead skin to his inventory.
2016[]
Hallowed Nightmares[]
Repeated from last year was the Hallowed Nightmares event, this time with a third timed mission. The second mission reward was changed to the Day of the Dead Sigil.
Cosplay Contest[]
A new event called An Eerie Warframe Display ran from October 7th to the 31st. This time the contest called for Tenno to submit their real-life Warframe-themed Halloween decorations. Judged on creativity and accuracy, the winners won Platinum prizes of 100- 1,000 with the top submissions featured on Prime Time #141.
Day of The Dead[]
Introduced to the Market was the Dullahan Mask for 1, two new Day of the Dead Syandanas, and a Day of the Dead Glyph pack 65; a new Kavat armor would be also purchasable from Baro Ki'Teer. The Day of The Dead pack IV would add 12 new cosmetic skins for weapons.
2017[]
Operation: Plague Star[]
- Main article: Operation: Plague Star
Due to the release of Plains of Eidolon, the Hallowed Nightmare event was not repeated this year, instead being put on the backburner for the release of Operation: Plague Star which ran November 15th-27th of 2017.
Day of the Dead[]
All previous Day of the Dead packs and Halloween items were available from October 18th to November 1st with the Prisma Naberus Shoulder Plates added to Baro Ki'Teer's rotation.
TennoGen[]
Earlier in the year, from July 26th to the 31st of August, the next TennoGen submissions would be Halloween-themed only.
With a focus on creepiness, TennoGen Round 10 was added to the game on October 25th in time for Halloween.
2018[]
Hallowed Nightmares[]
Returning for the 3rd and final time, Hallowed Nightmares ran from October 19th-November 1st and offered the same missions and rewards as the 2016 rendition as well as awarding a new skin for the Dread.
2019[]
Hallowed Flame[]
With the introduction of Nightwave: The Emissary, this year's Halloween event saw Tenno doing alerts based around the Zealoid Prelate Assassination mission. The Hallowed Flame event required the player to keep Arlo's Flame alight by killing enemies in it's radius: letting the light die would instantly fail the mission. The final stage of this alert awarded the Naberus Ephemera if players lasted over 15 minutes in an endurance-based survival mission. Due to the Day of the Dead Dread skin being no longer achievable, it was moved to Baro Ki'Teer's inventory, being purchasable for 
300 + 275,000.
The Malevolent and Monstrous Glyph Bundles were also added to the Market for 65.
2020[]
Nights of Naberus[]
- Main article: Nights of Naberus
2020 would see the annual Halloween event hosted by Daughter in the Necralisk. Now named Nights of Naberus this event would retire the Halloween Tactical Alert in favour of a token based reward system.
