Little metal men try to take gate! Click to listen — The Heavy warning his team of the gate being captured.

”

This article is about Community Mannhattan strategy

General (All Classes)

• All team-mates must work together to make sure the robots don't capture the gates. Once the gates are captured, they cannot be re-taken.
• Keep an eye out for robots with yellow lit up heads, this means they're headed for a nearby gate.
• Tanks do not spawn on this map, so don't put all your money on tank takedown abilities.
• Once the first gate gets captured and the gatebots get stunned, make sure to take out as many as possible so they can't get a head start on capturing the next gate.
• Any class with knockback capabilities should try to push bomb carriers into the grinder near gate A, e.g. Soldier, Pyro, Engineer.

Class-specific strategy

 Scout

• Since most of you team will be killing every robot once they drop out of their spawn area, try to run up and collect the money the robots drop when killed.
• Use your Sandman's mark for death upgrade to weaken a Giant Robot's defenses. This is especially helpful when all the gates are captured and the 3 bombs are being carried by Giants.
  • The Fan-O-War can also help accomplish this.

 Soldier

• As Soldier, it is recommended to use rocket specialist, especially against Giants or clumps of robots.
• Use the rocket specialist to slow down Giants with gatebots hats.

 Pyro

• Bonk Scouts can spawn on this map, so make sure to have a fully upgraded Airblast ability.

 Demoman

• Use your stickies to take out large clusters of gatebots that have either been stunned, or are capturing.

 Heavy

• Use the rage upgrade's knockback to push the Giant gatebots away from the gate.
• If you have a pocket Medic, stay near the robot spawn. You can easily stop the robots from advancing their spawn by capturing a gate.

 Engineer

• If you have enough skill, you can camp the robot spawn with your Sentry Gun.
  • A good spot to place it is on either the crates, or the oil tank near the robot spawn.
• Hiding your sentry behind the fences at the hatch is a good spot for last resort events.

 Sniper

• Hiding on the railing above the robot spawn is a good way to kill robots that make it past your team's defenses.
• Use the Machina's ability to go through multiple targets to take out large amounts of gatebots.

 Medic

• Using the shield ability, block giant robots from shooting projectiles at you. The shield can also damage the robots, so use I to take down large targets, like giant gatebots.
• Your Madmilk syringes can help your team regain health when you can't reach them to heal them.
• Reviving you team with the new re-animator can be good for your defenses, e.g. your team's Heavy dies when he needs to be alive.

 Spy

• Sappers can provide quick offense against either capturing gatebots or disabled gatebots.
