Quick answer: For players who want cosmetics without spending Robux, neither event has a fully verified, guaranteed free-cosmetic list for every player as of October 22, 2026. Steal An Egg has a documented play-to-earn loop for Candy Corn and event eggs in its first Halloween Dimension phase, while Roblox’s new platform-wide event, The Hollow, launches today and advertises limited-time Halloween avatar items for sale. That means Steal An Egg currently has the clearer documented path to an earnable event reward—but Part 2’s exact reward list still needs confirmation in the live game.

At a glance: which event is better for free cosmetics?
| What matters | Steal An Egg Part 2 | The Hollow |
|---|---|---|
| Current timing | Part 2 is listed for October 24, 2026, but check the live event panel for changes. | Roblox announced a launch on October 22, with the event running into the Halloween period. |
| Confirmed free reward route | The first Halloween Dimension phase lets players earn Candy Corn through gameplay and exchange it for an event egg. Part 2’s reward list is not yet confirmed here. | The official announcement highlights limited-time avatar items for sale; it does not establish that those items are free. |
| Best reason to check in | Players who enjoy grinding event currency, exploring new areas and collecting pets. | Players who want to explore the shared horror-event hub and check its available experiences. |
| Robux needed? | Do not assume every cosmetic is free; inspect the in-game shop and any listed price. | Some featured Marketplace items are for sale. Verify each item’s price before claiming or buying. |
| Confidence in exact Part 2 cosmetics | Unconfirmed until the live game or developers show the items and requirements. | The event itself is officially announced, but a guaranteed free-cosmetic catalogue was not specified in the announcement reviewed. |
Our verdict: If your priority is a reward you can work toward without immediately buying an avatar item, start by checking the event egg and currency options in Steal An Egg. Do not treat that as proof that Part 2 will add a free avatar accessory: the confirmed first-phase egg is a gameplay reward, and the Part 2 reward list can differ.
What is confirmed about Steal An Egg Part 2?
The first Halloween Dimension phase introduced a portal, three areas described in event coverage as the Graveyard, Haunted Swamp and Abandoned Manor, plus event activities involving Candy Corn, monsters and eggs. The official update guide describes a two-part Halloween event, and an event schedule lists Halloween Part 2 for October 24. However, a date or teaser is not the same as a complete rewards announcement.
Before the Part 2 launch, look for three things in the live experience: the actual reward names, whether each reward is earned through a quest or bought with currency, and any timer showing when the reward expires. If a social post shows a supposed “leak,” compare it with an announcement from the game’s developers before planning around it.
What is confirmed about The Hollow?
Roblox announced The Hollow as a platform-wide Halloween survival event featuring nine horror games over nine nights. The announcement says it begins October 22, 2026, and ends with a live finale on October 31. Roblox also says limited-time Halloween avatar items will be available on Marketplace for sale. Active Roblox Plus subscribers receive earlier hub access, while the event announcement describes access for Roblox accounts aged 9 and older in most regions.
That distinction matters for shoppers: an item being featured during an event does not automatically make it free. Open the Marketplace listing and read its price and availability. If a genuinely free item is offered, check whether it requires a quest, participation in a particular experience, or a limited-time claim.
How to compare the rewards without wasting time or Robux
- Check the live event page first. Use the official Steal An Egg experience and the Roblox announcement for The Hollow. Confirm the date and event status before you join.
- Separate earned rewards from paid items. A cosmetic purchased with Robux is not a free reward. Event currency that can be earned in-game may still require substantial playtime.
- Read the exact requirement. Look for quest steps, event currency costs, eligibility limits and the expiry timer. Take a screenshot of the item description if the wording is unclear.
- Do not buy based on a rumor. If Part 2’s reward or a Hollow cosmetic has not appeared in the live interface or an official announcement, wait rather than spending based on an edited image.
- Protect your account. Never enter your Roblox password, browser cookies or verification codes on a third-party “free cosmetic” website.
Which should U.S. players play first this week?
If you enjoy collecting pets and progressing through game objectives, check Steal An Egg’s live Part 2 event panel when it opens. If you prefer a broader horror-event experience, check The Hollow hub on October 22 and follow the available experience prompts. The better choice depends on whether you value collectible pets, avatar accessories, or the event experience itself—not on unverified claims that one event gives away more valuable cosmetics.

Frequently asked questions
Does Steal An Egg Part 2 have free cosmetics?
The Part 2 reward list should be verified in the live game or a developer announcement. The first Halloween Dimension phase has an earnable event-currency and egg loop, but that does not prove Part 2 will include a free avatar cosmetic.
Are The Hollow’s Halloween avatar items free?
Roblox’s announcement says limited-time Halloween avatar items will be available for sale on Marketplace. Check each item’s listing; the announcement reviewed here does not promise that all of them are free.
When does The Hollow start?
Roblox announced October 22, 2026, as the start date, with a live finale on October 31. Check the official event hub for the current opening time and any schedule changes.
When does Steal An Egg Part 2 start?
An event schedule lists October 24, 2026. Confirm the time and status in the live Roblox experience before planning your session, because event schedules can change.
Which event is better if I do not want to spend Robux?
Start with rewards that the live game explicitly says can be earned through play. Steal An Egg’s event-currency loop is the clearer documented route in the first phase; The Hollow’s featured Marketplace items include items for sale. Neither should be described as guaranteeing a free cosmetic until the specific reward and requirements are confirmed.
Can I trust social-media leaks about free items?
Treat them as unverified until the developer or official Roblox event page confirms the item, cost and requirements. Do not follow links that ask for account credentials or verification codes.
