ZwiftHQ likes to have a little fun on certain holidays – especially Halloween, Christmas, and April Fools’. For past Halloweens we earned costumes with Pace Partners in 2020, earned dino costumes in 2019, rode bone bikes and swapped heads in 2018, and looked like witches and monsters in 2017.
Last night some new Pace Partners went live for Halloween. It’s a very similar setup to what we did in 2020, albiet with a couple of new costumes and easier-to-follow pacing.
Welcome Carly Cyclosaurus and Mecha Masher to the game, and welcome back Darwin Dino!
How It Works
Each of the three costumes comes in multiple pieces. To unlock each piece, ride near the Pace Partner in the same way you would the “normal” Pace Partners in the Drops Multiplier game. It looks like it takes about 15 minutes to unlock each costume piece.
Unlocked costume pieces will be remembered, so when you join that Pace Partner again on a separate ride you won’t be starting from zero. The pieces seem to only be visible when you’re close enough to the Pace Partner. So we assume that once the special Pace Partners are taken offline (November 1st?) your unlocked costume pieces will no longer be accessible.
The Pace Partners aren’t hammering out the watts, so everyone should be able to find a Halloween Partner they can hang with. Currently the three pace partners are riding at the following paces:
- Carly Cyclosaurus (2.5 w/kg, 165W)
- Darwin Dino (1.2wkg, 80W)
- Mecha Masher (1.3wkg, 100W)
