The Helping Happy update arrived on October 3, 2026. Happy the Halloween Guy has been "boned" by The Ram, and you help reassemble his body by finding his limbs around the map. The changes below are temporary.
Main changes
- Webs spawn all over the map. Hitting one with anything shows the message "You need a special scythe to clear this."
- Inside the webs you can find Pumpkins, Old Radios, Broken Fans, Cultists (axe or crossbow), Scorpions, Cultist Gems, wooden chairs, Morsels, frogs, pumpkin pie, berries, coal and Mossy Coins.
- At the campfire there are Happy's head and a Scythe, and you can take the scythe.
Happy's Scythe
The scythe has three levels and starts at level 1 when you get it.
- Level 1: 15 damage, 10 hits to destroy a web.
- Level 2: 40 damage, 4 hits to destroy a web.
- Level 3: 55 damage, 1 hit to destroy a web.
Badges (temporary)
- Reaping: get Happy's Scythe to level 3 by hitting webs and killing entities.
- Strawcraft: rebuild Happy and save him from the Ram.
- Sweeping: destroy 200 webs.
Earning all three badges gives the Happy's Cart furniture item.
