Halloween is the perfect opportunity for shooters, especially the live-service variety, to include fun and unique costumes. Here are the best.

If a first-person or third-person shooter is online then players best believe that the game probably has some Halloween skins that have been made for it. On top of that, if the game has been out for a while then players can be assured that the game has Halloween skins out for it.

As the years have gone on the skins that have been produced for shooters has gone up in quality with that there is a lot of option to choose from, but here are some of the most interesting Halloween skin designs that have been seen throughout multiple online shooters.

Monster Mashed is a legendary skin that is in Apex Legends' Fight or Fright event. The skin takes the Frankenstein's Monster trope and changes it up to fit Gibraltar. It works for him perfectly as the body looks more like a combination of machine parts and humans.

The way that all the metal pieces mold together makes the skin feel like an industrial piece of mechanization that's cohesive within itself.

This Demon Hunter Sombra skin in Overwatch has a very interesting story to it as initially it was released as an exclusive skin to players who purchased a ticket to the 2018 virtual BlizzCon event. The skin then turned into a Halloween skin in 2019 as it officially came out for everyone who played the game during the 2019 Halloween Terror event.

The skin resembles a Demon Hunter class from Diablo 3 as Sombra's gun even resembles one of the Demon Hunter from Diablo 3's short bows.

The Big Mouth outfit in Fortnite is an epic skin that looks exactly like what it is described as: A big mouth. This appearance has a lot of nuances though once the player starts to look closer as they will be able to see that Big Mouth is partially stapled together.

Big Mouth also carries cute frogs around on his person that look extremely silly though the player knows that Big Mouth is nefariously eating these frogs.

The Plant of Prey was a Rainbow Six Seige skin that was introduced with the Doktor's Curse event that occurred in 2021. This event was a continuation of an event that had occurred in 2019 where only the mask version of this costume was available.

The return of the event made it so that the masks were reworked to entire skins for the different operators that were in the game. The plant looks as though it were consuming Aruni and taking control of her being.

The Frank skin offered in The Haunting event for Call of Duty: Warzone and Cold War is one of the best movie renditions of a skin. The outfit is as creepy as it was when it first appeared in the Donnie Darko movie as a guide for the main character.

The character's look has unsettling nature as it resembles a rabbit that's been mangled. The costume brings about the same dread that Donnie Darko has knowing that the world is going to end in 28 days.

Like the Plant of Pray, the Lagoon Beast is a from the return of the Doktor's Curse event. This event added the bodysuit on top of the head to give the player the full appearance of an underwater lagoon monster. The costume looks great and detailed.

The skin of the beast looks as though it is entirely made of scales yet the asking still has a lot of interesting badges and different military gear attached to it.

The Batman who laughs is actually a counterpart to Batman who is completely evil and from the dark multiverse. Fortnite did a great job at bringing him into their game during the Halloween season as one of the skins as he looks amazing in a dark twisted way.

His style is changed a bit to fit the Fortnite aesthetic but for the most part, he remains frighteningly cool with his maniacal smile. His dark overcoat is also neat and gives him the look of a vampiric count.

Necro Queen is 100% the most horrifying character on this list and that is because of the way that she is designed in Call of Duty: Warzone. Her face is constantly distorting through her mask making her go from a terrifying screaming lady to a skeleton in seconds.

Her design is easy to fall for if the player is someone who is fond of things that go way off the deep end when they're trying to be terrifying. The crown and see-through mask also add a dash of glamour to the look.

The Last Laugh costume for Caustic is a legendary skin that's also part of the Fright or Fight event in Apex Legends and one of the best skins that the game offers overall. The colors pop a lot which might be bad for combat, but it makes Caustic look so clownishly good.

The skin makes Caustic look like a clown from the future. The way that he doesn't have a way to present expression with the gas mask over his mouth is the perfect fit for the clown costume.

In Overwatch, the Cultist Zenyatta skin has got to be one of the best in the entirety of the game's series so far as the design is Lovecraftian in its look. The addition of calling him a Cultist as well as Zenyatta's ability make this skin especially fitting for Zenyatta.

The event looks very similar to a mind flayer cultist that is in Dungeons and Dragons which adds to its terrifying appeal.
