Destiny gets into the Halloween spirit with holiday-themed items

You can become a pumpkin-headed legend in Destiny, thanks to the game's latest update, which adds a handful of Halloween-themed items. The most important of those, at least from a visual standpoint, is the new Jackolyte item.

Players can score some Jackolyte by visiting the Postmaster, who should have three of the consumable item waiting for them in an All Hallow's Eve package. Yes, the headwear is consumable and limited, but you'll be able to sport a spooky three-eyed jack-o'-lantern for as long as it lasts. If you need more, the Hive reportedly drops Jackolyte and another consumable called Flight of Shadows, which changes the appearance of your respawn.

The update also adds four new Sparrows which are decorated with some flame graphics that may or may not enhance the sensation of it being Halloween this week.

Today's Destiny update also addresses what Bungie calls a bug with the Atheon battle at the end of the Vault of Glass raid.
