Introduced in the [[October 29, 2009 Patch|Hallowe'en Special]] (29 October&ndash;9 November 2009), a special, spooky themed version, koth_harvest_event, was made available for play. In this version, health packs are instead replaced with chocolate bars and candy tins. [[Pumpkin bomb]]s are scattered strategically throughout the map and explode when shot, damaging anyone around them. Killed players will randomly drop a [[Crit]]-boosting [[Halloween pumpkins|Halloween pumpkin]] full of candy (possible only during the Hallowe'en Special). Also, the [[ghost]] of [[Non-player characters#Zepheniah Mann and Company|Zepheniah Mann]] wanders around the map, haunting any players who venture too close.

−
* The center shed provides more cover for attackers than defenders. Capturing the point is easiest with support from team members outside the shed.
 
−
* Soldiers and Demomen can jump onto the roof of the shed with rockets or stickies and attack from above. It's also possible to lob grenades or syringes in through the roof.
 
−
* The peaked roof of the farmhouse can provide cover for Snipers if they stand on the back of the roof and fire over it at the enemy, but this prevents them from firing at the area between the farmhouse and the center shed.
 
−
*Snipers like to stay in the upper levels of their team's farmhouses. If you happen to be in the area, take a moment to sweep the upper floor for enemy Snipers.
 
−
*Scouts can double-jump to the middle shed and then across to the other team's building. This can be useful if the ground-level area is highly contested.
