This holiday update is a goody bag of tricks and treats, from Exploding pumpkins, a ghastly gimbus (wtf?) and "Mildly Disturbing Halloween Hats". If that’s not enough for you, there is a new community map as well as 5 achievements (listed below) to unlock over the next couple of days. It’s about to be a very busy weekend. The new community map will also feature the ghost of Zepheniah Mann. Check out what the announcement says about him:
Our legal department tells us we can’t mention this next horrifying feature, because someone read it and got so scared we got in trouble! The entire TF2 team has to go to sensitivity training now because we inadvertently created such a scary work environment. So rest easy, we promise to stop scaring you… right after we ignore our lawyers and tell you about the ghost haunting the Harvest map! [sound of a wolf] That’s right! The restless spirit of Zepheniah Mann will scare senseless any player unlucky enough to cross his spectral path, rendering them temporarily helpless with fear! |
Check out the official announcement here.
Below are the list of the 5 spooky new achievements that are available:
- Candy Coroner - Collect 20 Halloween pumpkins from dead players to unlock a hat.
- Scared Stiff - Kill a player scared by the ghost haunting KOTH Harvest
- Ghastly Gibus Grab - Dominate a player wearing the Ghastly Gibus to earn your own.
- Costume Contest - Kill a spy disguised as your current class.
- Attack o’ Lantern - Cause the deaths of 5 players by exploding nearby pumpkin bombs.
