# 30.10.2024 - Chests / Adjustments / Halloween

### Chests

- Drop rates for boss-dropped chests have been adjusted to smooth out progression.
- This change was necessary to prevent level 5 chests from dropping on difficulty level 6.

**New drop rates by difficulty level:**

<table id="bkmrk-difficulty-level-1-l"><thead><tr><th>Difficulty</th><th>Level 1</th><th>Level 2</th><th>Level 3</th><th>Level 4</th><th>Level 5</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>95%</td><td>5%</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>85%</td><td>15%</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>65%</td><td>30%</td><td>5%</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td>4</td><td>35%</td><td>50%</td><td>15%</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td>5</td><td>-</td><td>70%</td><td>30%</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr><td>6</td><td>-</td><td>49.9%</td><td>50%</td><td>0.1%</td><td>-</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Adjustments

- Map voting has been expanded into a two-step process where viewers can now vote not only on the map but also on the difficulty level.
- The voting overview now also includes details on drop chances and scaling for each difficulty level.

### Halloween

- The Halloween map now has a new experimental mechanic: 
    - After zombies are defeated, they have a 5% chance to drop a treat-filled pumpkin.
    - Pumpkins can be collected with the `!collect` command on Twitch, and each collected pumpkin grants a small bonus to a random team buff, including team lives.
    - These extra bonuses are not tracked in the web interface and are added as a multiplier in-game.
