Off the Grid Gears Up for Halloween With Feardrop Event
Web3 cyberpunk-themed battle royale Off the Grid is embracing the Halloween spirit with its upcoming event, Feardrop, promising new skins, gear, and unique ways to earn in-game rewards. The event was teased in a short video shared on the game’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, hinting at spooky additions set to arrive soon.
Developed and published by Gunzilla Games, Off the Grid has steadily built a reputation for blending battle royale action with story-driven depth, all within a dystopian cyberpunk world shaped by acclaimed director Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Elysium, Chappie).
A Halloween Treat for Battle Royale Fans
While Gunzilla Games hasn’t revealed the full list of Feardrop rewards, the teaser suggests a focus on both visual customization and new gameplay incentives. The event is expected to expand the game’s player-driven economy—part of its Web3 foundation, allowing players to trade and customize gear in unique ways.
In Off the Grid, players battle as cybernetically enhanced mercenaries on Teardrop Island, a high-tech arena where PvE and PvP elements intertwine. The mix of futuristic weapons, high-stakes missions, and player agency has helped the title carve out a distinct niche in the competitive shooter space.

A Cinematic Universe in Motion
Beyond its gameplay, Off the Grid is deeply tied to its lore. The “Off the Grid Cinema” series—created by Blomkamp—currently spans two episodes, Switcher and Vincent. The live-action shorts expand the world’s narrative and connect to in-game missions, giving players context behind the conflict on Teardrop Island.
This blend of storytelling and gameplay is a key differentiator for Gunzilla’s vision, with the 60-hour campaign anchoring the multiplayer experience in emotional stakes and political intrigue.
Player Reception and Outlook
Since its launch on October 8, 2024, Off the Grid has seen a Mixed rating on Steam with over 1,400 reviews and a 3.9/5 score on the Epic Games Store. According to SteamDB, it reached an all-time peak of 12,867 concurrent players, a solid figure for a new IP blending Web3 mechanics and narrative depth.
With Feardrop on the horizon, Gunzilla Games is poised to re-engage players just in time for Halloween—offering another reason to dive back into one of 2024’s most ambitious cyberpunk shooters.
