The Halloween update for Pet Project Games' co-op horror first-person shooter RIPOUT will appeal to horror enthusiasts who like a good mix of cooperative gameplay, jump scares, and mutant mayhem. This update, which coincides with Halloween and the game's first anniversary, offers a spooky selection of new weapons, cosmetics, and a UI/UX redesign for easier, more intuitive Steam navigation.

Additionally, during Steam Scream Fest, the game's price is reduced by 50% to $19.99 for a brief period. Now seems like the ideal moment for those of us who are itching for monster-blasting fun to explore the eerie hallways of RIPOUT.

Halloween Update Highlights

The new Halloween update adds some exciting features and refinements that make the gameplay loop even more satisfying and accessible:

  • Blaster Pistol: A fiery addition, the Blaster Pistol has just enough punch to scorch mutants, dealing ongoing fire damage that feels particularly useful in keeping hordes at bay. This pistol is perfect when you need reliable damage against encroaching monsters, especially in the game’s tighter, more oppressive corridors.
  • New Melee Weapons: Now players can wield the Mace or Spear when close-quarters combat is the only solution. These weapons add some much-needed variety for up-close mutant-smashing, allowing players to get creative with melee strategy.
  • Cosmetic Suits: Two new suits, Bio-Punk and Cadaver, add some visual flair to the game. And as a Halloween bonus, the limited-time Pumpkin Master Suit adds a festive touch for those wanting to play in true Halloween style.
  • UI/UX Redesign: The improved UI/UX design is a welcome change, making it easier to jump into a game, access inventory, and manage loadouts. The interface overhaul feels like it’s there to prioritize player convenience without overshadowing the game’s spooky aesthetics.

RIPOUT is still an exciting choice for horror fans who want to blast their way through gory challenges because of its combination of action-packed cooperative gameplay, mutant-filled scares, and brand-new content. The core experience is improved by this Halloween update, and the temporary discount makes it even more alluring. The mutant-infested world of RIPOUT is worth exploring for fans of atmospheric, intense first-person shooter horror games, and what better time to do it than Halloween? Some say it's the spookiest time of year! (mainly because it's tax season though!)
