To get the Grass Ghillie Suit in Apocalypse Rising 2, search small green military crates at helicopter crashes and unlock the pieces individually. For the Halloween 2026 Blood Ghillie, collect pieces from floating rifts above the Citadel. Finding one piece starts your collection; completing the outfit takes additional pickups.
Where to Find Grass Ghillie Pieces
Helicopter crashes are the main search target. The Apocalypse Rising Wiki’s cosmetics page specifically lists the Green Ghillie Suit Hood in small military crates at crash sites. GENERALL’s July 2025 Grass Ghillie guide also directs players to helicopter crashes and demonstrates checking their small green crates.
The wiki labels its cosmetics page outdated. Its crate advice agrees with the video, but location details should be treated as checkpoints for the map version shown.
GENERALL identifies these useful places to check:
| Area | Possible crash position |
|---|---|
| JRTC camp | Beside the camp |
| Naval | At the entrance |
| Power station near the casino | Behind the power station |
| Magnolia | Along the street or out along the coast |
| Swamp | Within the swamp area |
| Salem | On the nearby beach |
These are selected checkpoints from the guide’s route. A helicopter may be absent when you arrive, and an existing wreck may already have been searched.
Clear nearby infected before inspecting the crates. Grass Ghillie pieces are rare, and the guide describes searches involving many crashes without a pickup. There is no established drop percentage in that guide, so plan for repeated attempts.
How to Farm and Unlock the Suit
Use a repeatable route that visits several crash locations. GENERALL recommends smaller servers to reduce interruptions from other players and suggests switching servers between searches.
- Check several locations per run. Move to another checkpoint when a crash is missing or its containers are empty.
- Search the small green military crates. These are the containers demonstrated in the Grass Ghillie guide.
- Collect missing pieces individually. Finding one cosmetic does not unlock the entire outfit.
- Confirm the unlock. Check that the piece is marked UNLOCKED after collecting it.
According to the wiki, unlocked cosmetics remain permanently available. Its interface description uses a yellow NEW label for an unowned cosmetic and a black UNLOCKED label after acquisition. Rare cosmetics carry a teal RARE marker.
The wiki also states that a cosmetic disappears when someone picks it up or unlocks it. If you are searching with friends, decide who needs the piece before collecting it.
How to Get the Halloween 2026 Blood Ghillie
Gamer44’s October 2026 guide demonstrates collecting a three-piece ghillie set from moving rifts above the Citadel. The video calls it Blood Ghillie, while the demonstrated pickups are labeled Black Ghillie Top and Black Ghillie Pants.
Follow this route:
-
Reach the Citadel. The main approach crosses the bridge from the radio station. Watch for gaps with lava below.
-
Climb to the roof near the Black Hawk helicopter. Rear stone pillars provide roof access, while lower entrances offer alternative approaches.
-
Reach the upper walkway. The guide demonstrates climbing a slanted pillar by facing away from it and repeatedly jumping, then following the walkway upward.
-
Leave inventory space available. The demonstrated pickup requires free space.
-
Wait for a floating rift to approach. When the ghillie piece comes within reach, left-click it.
-
Repeat for the remaining pieces. Rifts move vertically, so some pickups can be reached from lower bridges while others require the highest platform.
Avoid chasing a rift off an edge. The guide also warns that players may camp direct roof entrances on busy servers.
One subsequent rift appears after roughly five minutes in the demonstration. A fixed respawn interval has not been officially confirmed.
Desert Ghillie and Older Event Routes
The Desert, or Drying, Ghillie has a separate event route. GENERALL’s August 2025 Drying guide discusses random event spawns at Oasis. In a pinned comment, the creator recommends smaller servers because occupied locations can remain farmed and empty.
Player comments on that guide report additional checks around the underground nightclub stage and balloon tower. These are community-reported locations, so availability should not be assumed.
Halloween instructions also vary by year. GENERALL’s 2025 Blood Ghillie guide mentions random pillars with orbs, while Gamer44’s 2026 demonstration follows the Citadel route. Match the method to the event version you are playing.
FAQ
Does the ghillie suit give armor or stat bonuses?
No. The Apocalypse Rising Wiki classifies clothing cosmetics as having no stat adjustments. Camouflage may make your character harder to notice against matching scenery, but it does not provide an armor bonus.
Do unlocked ghillie pieces disappear when you die?
According to the wiki’s cosmetic unlock rules, unlocked cosmetics remain permanently available. You do not need to find the same piece again after each death.
Can you farm event ghillies in private servers?
Private-server eligibility has not been officially confirmed in the cited guides. Their unanswered viewer questions do not establish that private servers support these unlocks.
