can you unbox Halloween unusuals during a full moon event?

[Snizzle]

Hey, so was curious if you have a chance to unbox Halloween unusual effects during a full moon event, or is is only during the Halloween event in October?

Not the older unusuals such as bonzo or spellbound, only the ones that have their own cases can be unboxed these days, and those can be unboxed at any time.

if im correct, even those effects like starstorm slumber or dark doorway can be unboxed anymore.

 

other than that, no. Halloweens effects such as the bats, portals, or bonzo can no longer be unboxed unless jungle inferno halloween 2 is a thing

You mean can't or am i overthinking?

The only Halloween effects that can be unboxed at any time other than Halloween proper are those effects that are locked to a specific case, e.g. Fifth Dimension Bat Hats. Even that, however, is not a guarantee, since 1st-3rd gen unusual effects can also be unboxed from those crates outside of Halloween. 

 

You cannot unbox Halloween unusuals at any time out of a crate (anything without tiered cosmetics). 

 

And no effects from previous years can be unboxed at all unless Valve does what they did in 2017 and rereleases old effects for a short time.

Only during Halloween event on October.   Usually have to wait when TF2 makes it official from an update or blog post. During that October event, ALL CASES have the Halloween effects, but it depends if TF2 gives out old or new Halloween effects.

  If you want to unbox specific Halloween effects, they are listed on the CASE effect description, however it is a 50% chance to get it Halloween effect.

100% chance to get it Halloween effect on October event ONLY!  But again it's old or new effects.
