Halloween 2017 is coming and at a proper spooky party, costumes are a must. But what should you go as? What are good ideas for costumes? Here are a few ideas for original yet simple gamer-themed costumes for Halloween.
Every year, thousands of party fans face the difficult task of designing a cool costume for Halloween. After all, you don’t want to go as the same lame vampire or zombie every year. But often there is a lack of money, time, and talent to realize these spectacular ideas.
Because if you want to go as Kerrigan from Starcraft, as a Titan from Destiny 2, or in an elaborate Warframe battle suit, you have to invest many hours, a lot of money, and a lot of heart into a costume.
However, there are indeed simple yet original costumes that would certainly be well-received at a party with MMO gamers. Here you will find examples of Halloween costumes related to MMOs. With these, you should make a great appearance at any party with gamers.
Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner – The PUBG Costume
In the immensely popular battle royale shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG), 100 ordinary people are dropped onto an island and must scavenge for weapons scattered all over and slaughter each other.
The twist is: your characters look like regular people. It seems almost as if the staff of an insurance company was snatched from their office and dropped onto an East Bloc island full of weapons.
How to Become the Chicken Dinner Winner from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds
- Simply wear an ordinary office outfit that you would wear at the office.
- Combine it with typical PUBG items, such as the obligatory camping backpack for loot, a weapon (Nerf gun and/or frying pan) as well as a helmet (a moped jet helmet works too) or an old gas mask.
And there you have an authentic PUBG costume! For extra drama, you can splatter your clothes with fake blood, after all, you just won a brutal battle royale against 99 other players!
