Halloween: The Game Civilians & Full Roster

How Many Civilians Are There?

Halloween: The Game currently has 12 documented playable Civilians. The official Standard Edition roster contains 10, while Richard and Alexis are additional playable Civilians included with Digital Deluxe content and the current Digital Deluxe Upgrade. This count describes the documented roster, not the number guaranteed to be selectable on a new account.

Official progression information says additional playable Civilians can unlock through progression. It does not provide a reliable character-by-character unlock schedule, so availability at the start of progression may vary. The multiplayer guide explains what the four-Civilian team does during a match.

Standard Edition Roster

The 10-person Standard roster is Jennifer Aarons, Tanya Harrison, Rachel Calahan, Eric, Marcus Navarro, Thomas Armitage, Bob Simms, Lynda van der Klok, Annie Brackett, and Laurie Strode. This combines six original Haddonfield characters with four reimagined characters from the 1978 film.

Standard roster membership does not mean every character is automatically unlocked when progression begins. The official progression overview confirms Civilian unlocks exist, but exact unlock levels and the immediately selectable starting group remain unverified.

Digital Deluxe Civilians

Richard and Alexis are playable additional Digital Deluxe Civilians, not members of the official 10-person Standard roster. Current Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Epic storefront listings support the availability of Digital Deluxe content or an upgrade that includes them.

This is an entitlement distinction, not a claim that either character is permanently exclusive. The selected sources do not establish a free unlock path, a progression unlock level, or a permanent availability policy.

Civilian Comparison Table

This table compares verified roster position and character origin. It intentionally does not assign numerical stats, signature-trait values, roles, or rankings that have not been first-hand verified for the current patch.

Original Haddonfield Civilians

Thomas Armitage

Thomas is a 21-year-old college football player. His official characterization emphasizes confidence, positivity, and leadership. Those personality details should not be treated as an unverified multiplayer specialization.

Jennifer Aarons

Jennifer works at a bookstore while saving for college. Official material presents her as quiet, organized, and ambitious. A complete current stat and signature-trait profile is not published here.

Tanya Harrison

Tanya works at a record store. Her official profile characterizes her as social, carefree, and humorous. The description establishes her character, not a numerical social or support rating.

Rachel Calahan

Rachel is a funeral-services student with interests in death, the occult, and punk music. Her official characterization also emphasizes sarcasm. The spelling used by the official roster is Rachel Calahan.

Marcus Navarro

Marcus is an independent motorcycle rider associated with the Rabbit in Red Lounge and the Castle Hill Rooks. These are character-background details rather than evidence for a specific optimal build.

Eric

Eric belongs to the Standard roster and is an original game character. The sources reviewed for this guide do not provide a comparably detailed official spotlight, so his profile remains deliberately concise.

Legacy Halloween Characters

Bob Simms, Lynda van der Klok, Annie Brackett, and Laurie Strode are reimagined legacy characters from the 1978 film. Official material places them in Story Mode sequences and confirms they are playable Civilians in multiplayer.

This guide keeps film background brief because its purpose is the playable roster. It does not label any legacy character as the strongest runner, stealth option, support choice, or other role without current verified stats and traits.

Richard and Alexis

Richard and Alexis are documented playable Civilians supplied through Digital Deluxe entitlement. Current major-platform storefronts list the Digital Deluxe content or upgrade, which supports present availability for owners who obtain that entitlement. They are included with the Digital Deluxe Edition and the Digital Deluxe Upgrade; the Editions Guide covers current pricing and availability.

Reliable primary material reviewed here does not establish detailed biographies, story roles, specializations, exact stat profiles, or complete trait lists for either character. Their names therefore remain Richard and Alexis without added surnames.

How Civilian Stats Work

Official progression material names four major Civilian stats. The stats differ among Civilians and describe broad areas of capability, but the selected official source does not publish exact current per-character values, a verified numerical scale, or formulas.

Athleticism

Movement

Relates to movement efficiency on foot and by bike.

Personality

Influence

Relates to persuasion, alerting authorities, follower capacity, and resistance to Fear and Stalk.

Resourcefulness

Utility

Relates to repairs, environmental awareness, vehicles, and firearms.

Capability

Physical action

Relates to general vigor, melee weapons, and thrown household items.

Signature Traits Explained

Officially, Civilians have character-specific signature traits. These are innate character effects, distinct from the Perk Cards a player rolls and equips through progression. The official sources used here do not support an exact universal trait count or a complete current table of trait effects and values.

Patch 1.0.2 corrected the calculation of the Brimstone Fuse signature trait. The patch note does not identify its owner, so this page does not assign it to a character.

Stats vs Traits vs Perks

• Stats = innate Civilian attributes covering Athleticism, Personality, Resourcefulness, and Capability.
• Signature Traits = character-specific innate effects.
• Perk Cards = equipable gameplay boosts rolled with Perk Points and used through a Civilian Perk Deck.
• Starting Items = a separate progression and loadout system.
• Progressive Challenges = objectives and rewards that can be linked to a specific Civilian.
• Cosmetics = appearance customization rather than character stats.

The Perks & Progression guide covers Perk Points, Perk Cards, decks, challenges, and unlocks in detail. Keeping these systems separate prevents a character's innate profile from being confused with an equipped loadout.

Which Civilian Should You Pick?

Character choice matters because stats and signature traits differ. A responsible current-patch recommendation requires complete first-hand profiles that are not yet available for all 12 Civilians, so this guide does not rank them or convert character biographies into gameplay advice.

Choose around verified stat and trait differences as those details become available, then fit Perk Cards to the intended playstyle. New players can use the Beginner Guide for first-match priorities and the Maps Guide to understand the spaces in which Civilian decisions occur.

Patch 1.0.3 Stat Balance

Official balance changes. Capability now contributes less melee damage at higher stat values and more at lower values. Its effectiveness for Grab Struggle was also reduced at higher values. Athleticism now provides less movement and sprint speed at higher values, and more at lower values.

The Heavyweight trait grants less Fear Resistance and melee damage. The Civilian melee damage boost while Drunk was also reduced. The official notes do not publish new per-character stat values or formulas; these changes do not establish a best-Civilian ranking. See the Patch Notes hub for the wider update.

Earlier Patch 1.0.2 Notes

Patch 1.0.2 corrected the Brimstone Fuse trait calculation and fixed an issue with the Loomis Reinforcements Perk Card. It also reduced Lethal Pitch tiers 2–5 and reduced Pocket Knife and Icepick availability. These are current loadout and trait-context changes, not evidence that the roster, base stat tables, or Richard and Alexis entitlement changed.

The patch also restored Rachel's Regal Eyewear cosmetic. That restoration concerns appearance customization and does not establish a Rachel stat or trait change.

What Is Still Being Verified

The following details remain outside the confirmed scope of this roster:

• exact current-patch per-character stat values and the exact UI stat scale;
• complete signature-trait lists, numerical effects, stacking rules, and Brimstone Fuse ownership;
• starting items, exact Civilian unlock levels, and which Standard Civilians are immediately available;
• whether individual stats change through progression or Prestige;
• Perk Deck persistence between characters and platform consistency of displayed values;
• surnames for Eric, Richard, and Alexis;
• detailed Richard and Alexis biographies, story roles, and gameplay profiles.
