[[Dead Harvest]] is an event which takes place around [[wikipedia:Halloween|Halloween]] every year. When the event is running, [[Mechanized Utility Vehicle]]s and [[Dead Harvest#Zombies|Cursed Zombies]] are added to the game. Each [[Factions|Faction]] has figured out how to weaponize the Cursed, and use them to augment their armies against the enemy. Creating Cursed, Avartachs, and Balor Spawn with different types of Soulstone, each having a different attack and damage system. Players fight against each other as usual, but may change into a zombie to fight in that form.

A special [[seasonal event]] where players can fight against or take control of the Undead. It introduces The Cursed, a sort of zombies. Dead Harvest also add Carved totems, [[Centurion]]s, [[Scourge Hunters]] and Cursed [[Fort]]s.

Dead Harvest was initially run in 2018, where it was more cooperative than it is now. Taking place on an early version of [[Tempest Island]], the first version of Dead Harvest made both teams work together against a zombie horde. When a player died, they joined the zombie horde. Zombies who lived longer and got more kills would evolve, gaining more health, speed, and damage with each kill. The second version, run in 2019, saw the Cursed trying to take over the mainland by creating an Endless Night by taking over and cursing [[Fort]]s around the map.

===The Cursed===
 
Players who are killed by a zombie during this event always respawn as a zombie or have a chance to become a zombie if they die of any other cause. The only way to avoid this is to carry a Carved Totem (100 carved totems can be made for 100 [[Basic Materials]]). Anyone logging out and logging back in will no longer be cursed but be placed back in their original faction. Dying from the new Centurion's weapons (except being trampled) will also cure a cursed player.
 
 
The undead respawn at cursed forts that they capture by destroying regular forts. They can alternatively respawn randomly in the region they die in. If 50 forts are under their control, it initiates endless night on the game, where the undead enjoy a constant buff and prevent Colonials and Wardens from actually winning the game.
 
 
The undead are weaker and slower during the day and receive buffs during the night. They also have health regeneration.
 
 
There are three types of undead. As an undead kills players, it gains 1 level per kill. When the undead dies, they loose all progress and respawn as the basic undead. After 10 kills, the undead can press k, killing them and respawning them as the next type.
 
 
*Vehicles are damaged when they run over Undead.
 
*Carved Totems must be equipped in order to be effective (having them in the inventory alone won't work)
