  • Call of the Beast runs October 16 to January 7, 2026, with new challenges posted every Thursday for 11 weeks.
  • Progress is pooled across the playerbase, with a Legendary reward granted if at least 17 of 22 goals are met and all rewards unlocked for participants if 20 are completed.
  • Week one tasks target 30 million and 60 million severed limbs, unlocking a Lumberjack car skin at the first tier and a woodchopper axe skin at the second.
