Spectral Halloween Special

Ghost Town is a Mann vs. Machine map was released as part of the Spectral Halloween Special update. The map is set at night, with pumpkins, gravestones, and other Halloween-themed objects scattered around. It is unique in that all robots on the map are reskinned to look like zombies, though this is purely cosmetic. The map contains only 1 mission: the Nightmare mission Caliginous Caper. As it is not playable in Mann Up mode, there is no reward for completing this mission.

Strategy

Main article: Community Ghost Town strategy

Update history

October 26, 2012 Patch (Spectral Halloween Special)

  • Added Ghost Town to the game.
  • Added mission Caliginous Caper.

July 10, 2013 Patch

  • Renamed mvm_coaltown_event to mvm_ghost_town to fix a problem with voting for challenges in MvM when on Coal Town.

October 21, 2016 Patch (Scream Fortress 2016)

  • Fixed Mann vs. Machine zombies not using the correct skin in Ghost Town outside of the Halloween event.

October 25, 2016 Patch

  • Updated mvm_ghost_town to fix error models in the spawn rooms

November 10, 2016 Patch

  • Updated mvm_ghost_town to fix the cube maps.

Bugs

  • When playing with minimal HUD, the bar on the top does not display correctly.
  • Some of the zombie reskins encountered on this map do not have an animation for jumping into the bomb hatch; as a result, they appear to simply vanish when the wave is failed.
  • When Halloween mode is disabled, the zombies appear as humans.
  • Sentry Busters spawn with Demoman's zombified upper arms levitating at their sides, and Spine-Chilling Skull hats on their invisible heads when Halloween mode is activated.
    • This can also happen to the Critical Demoknights, appearing to have a Sentry Buster model, but they cannot explode and attack normally.
  • At the robot's left drop point, knocking them back may cause them to become stuck in the ground and therefore invulnerable.

Trivia

  • There is a medkit and an ammobox that are unreachable without noclip.
  • There is a second version of Caliginous Caper available for this map that does not contain zombies, has slightly different robots, and ends early before every bot is dead.
