It’s an age old question that has plagued mankind for centuries. Children and adults alike still ask it to this day: Trick or treat?
Happy Halloween, Call of Duty. The spooky festivities have already begun as part of the Trick ‘r Treat: Candy Hunt event in Modern Warfare 3 in a celebration of the 2007 cult classic film of the same name.
Read on below for all you need to know about the Candy Hunt event in MW3.
MW3 Trick ‘r Treat: Candy Hunt event challenges and rewards
Here are the challenges for the Trick ‘r Treat: Candy Hunt event.
In the Candy Hunt event, you will have to collect candy from slain enemies in MW3, Warzone, and MW3 Zombies to earn the available rewards, which are listed below.
If you wear the Sam or Sam Unmasked operator skins from the Trick ‘r Treat Tracer Pack Operator Bundle, you will earn more candy per match to expedite the process and earn all of the rewards in the event.
There are four different bars that must be filled up, along with the fifth and final bar for the King Sized Treat Mastery reward, which is an exclusive skin. Each bar must be filled before beginning to progress the next one, save for the King Sized Treat, which tracks at all times.

How to get Candy in MW3 Trick ‘r Treat: Candy Hunt event
We think the best method for farming candy is Zombies, since it’s the simplest and most laid back, even if it can be the most boring. Candy drops in random amounts of three, six, or 12, but the important part is making sure you pick it up.
Candy drops from every zombie you kill in MWZ, and can be found from eliminated enemies and looted chests in Warzone, too. It seems like the event is going to be a grind no matter how you choose to get them.
Candy can also be found in MW3 multiplayer when it drops from enemies that you eliminate. The candy will stay on the battlefield for a short period of time, but you must pick it up before it expires, and it makes a kind of “bloop” noise when you pick it up.
Basically, just play a whole bunch of MW3 or Warzone from Oct. 2 to 16 and collect candy passively as you play.
