Overview

In-game description
A silly rubber horse mask to celebrate Lunar New Year 2026. Comes in three varieties.

Cheapest joke of the 2026 Lunar New Year. Ten cloth, no workbench, nothing to research, and the game text promises three varieties of a rubber horse head. Hand one to everyone before the group rides out and you reach Outpost as a herd. Three varieties also means a trio never has to match.

The red and gold Horse Mask from the same event wants a wolf skull on top of the cloth, so the usual split is one skull mask for whoever cares most and rubber for the rest. Neither does anything for you in a fight, and the mask most likely takes the head slot your helmet would use. Want the whole look? The inflatable horse costume covers the legs.

And it does not vanish with the event: every player can craft it from the start, all year round.
