Summary
Lord Pumpkin Jr. was the boss for the Halloween Event 2016 and returned for the Halloween Event 2017. Lord Pumpkin Jr. is the successor of the original Lord Pumpkin. Similar to him, many of his attacks use fire.
Lord Pumpkin Jr. hangs around in his volcano.
He's not very creative, so he named it after himself and enslaved Boos to do his bidding.
Background Story
After witnessing the death of his father, Lord Pumpkin Jr. spent most of his time preparing for revenge. Unfortunately, he may have spent too much time preparing, as those weapons being brandished were scary.
A quick jump later, and he found himself in a new place entirely, but eerily similar to his own. By the look of things, however, the apocalypse was just getting started. Perfect. They were weak.
Some threats later, and he floated away to a nearby volcano to plan a way to take over the world. Although the volcano was occupied, Lord Pumpkin Jr. had no trouble enslaving the inhabitants there for his own personal use. Turns out ghosts are really submissive. Go figure.
Unluckily, his enemies were not as weak as he thought.
Anger, however, lingers. The pumpkin's spirit remained. All who fought against this monster continue to feel his rage, his unstoppable will to get revenge.
And months later, he rose again, stronger, but he still was no match for the survivors.
But he still never gave up. To say he had an unbridled amount of rage was an understatement, and the small hint of rage left festered for years, until he finally rose one last time.

Tips
2016
- The Steyr M is the recommended secondary to beat this boss due to its high ammo capacity.
- At half health, he eyes turns red. Consequently all of his attacks are stronger.
- Don't bring the Grenade, the Airstrike or the Pipebomb into the round, as Lord Pumpkin Jr. is immune to them.
- Even if melees do no damage, you can still punch and kick Lord Pumpkin Jr. to deal some damage.
- This isn't recommended as when he dies, his corpse will explode as he sinks into the lava, certainly killing anyone on his head.
- Even if the M202 is classified as an explosive weapon (and therefore does not damage), there is still one use for it:
- When a Meteor Shower occurs, firing the M202 at the meteor will explode it prematurely.
- You will likely need two or three Miniguns, with the Bandolier, to kill Lord Pumpkin Jr.
- Whenever a Mega Fireball is spat out, firing the M202 or a RPG at the fireball early could end the round quickly.
- In 2017, this glitch made Lord Pumpkin Jr. invulnerable, meaning he keep attacking even though he was dead.
2017
- Avoid his face, he lacks any attacks to hit survivors behind him.
- Due to explosives now dealing damage, the RPG is your best bet instead of the Steyr M.
- However, be aware that the RPG will eat up Ammo Stations, limiting your reloads.
- The X-Mas Launcher is not recommended, as the projectile will be burnt by lava.
- The Minigun, M249, M16A1 or M1A1 Thompson are your best bet at beating the boss.
- Without at least some, you can expect a tough fight.
- Due to the lack of Ammo Stations, and since stations can easily be destroyed, equip armors that give extra magazines.
- If needed, buy some Extra Ammo from the In-Game Store.
- Bringing the Firevest will protect you from Lord Pumpkin Jr.'s Flamethrower attack, but only the fire, not the heat.
- There are ways to get on top of him, but due to the Boos he spawns, you can get grabbed easily.
- You also get launched into the lava if he dies and you're still on top of him, as he explodes upon death.
- Sometimes using an Airstrike will glitch the round to make Lord Pumpkin Jr. still attack, even though the health bar is zero. Try not to use the Airstrike when he does his Mega Fireball move.
- The Toy Bow doesn't affect Lord Pumpkin Jr. or the Boos.
- If a teammate is getting carried by a Boo try to rescue them by shooting at it.
- If the mentioned teammate has no legs, try not to release them over lava, but over land.
