Events

In surviv.io, special events occur for a limited time, modifying loot chances, introducing new weapons, and more. There have been five different events. While most are Squads only, some, such as Egg-stravaganza and Spookiversary were different.

Egg-stravaganza
Egg-stravaganza was an event that occurred during Easter, lasting April 1-2, 2018. It introduced a seasonal obstacle which was an Egg.

Meteor Shower
Meteor Shower was a squad-only event that lasted August 9-11, 2018. It promoted the recently-added feature of Air Drop. Desert Rain is similar to the Meteor Shower event, however it was played on a different desert-themed map.

Desert Rain
This is part one of the Desert Rain series of events, the second being Gunfight at the Deadeye Saloon.

Desert Rain was a squad-only event that lasted September 22-24, 2018, introducing a desert-themed map and increasing flare gun spawns. The .45 ACP ammo type was introduced alongside the Model 94 lever-action repeating rifle and the Peacemaker revolver. The ammo type, alongside the guns, are no longer found in the game. The Bowie knife was added to the game for all modes while the Poncho Verde skin and Cattle Crate appeared only on the desert map. Poncho Verde also appears in the Autumn (Woods) map in the Hatchet Bunker as a guaranteed spawn.

On November 5, 2018, it was implied that a desert-like event may return: Later this week, look for the Island's return to a drier, .45ier climate ...

Into the Woods
Into the Woods was a squad-only event that lasted October 18-22, 2018, introducing a wooded map themed to autumn. The Fire Axe, BAR M1918 light machine gun, and the MIRV Grenade were added to all game modes while the Woodcutter's Wrap skin, Hatchet Bunker, and USAS-12 shotgun, were exclusive to the limited-time map.

Spookiversary
Spookiversary was the first solo-only event in the game, that lasted October 29-31, 2018, in celebration of the one-year anniversary of the game. It coincided with Halloween, allowing users to use costumes that blend in with the environment. It added the Eye Bunker and set of obstacles to the game for a limited time. It was first hinted on October 22 at the end of the Into the Woods event.

Gunfight at the Deadeye Saloon
This is part two of the Desert Rain series of events, the first being Desert Rain.

Gunfight at the Deadeye Saloon was the name for the second instance of the Desert Rain event, which applied to squads only as it did before, and lasted from Nov. 9-13, 2018. The event brought back the Peacemaker and Model 49. The event introduced the M1911 pistol and M1A1 submachine gun. A Vector variant using .45 ACP was introduced, the first gun variant in the game (excluding dual pistols.)

9mm guns were said to be impossible to find during this event, but many people found guns such as the MAC-10 and the UMP9. It was hinted in the Androided Up update.
