Map Overview

Helltower is a Payload Race map added in the Scream Fortress Fifth Halloween Special. It is the Halloween-themed version of Hightower.


Objective

The objective is to push a cart of gravel containing the Mann brothers (Blutarch for RED, Redmond for BLU) to the checkpoint, like in the original Hightower.

There is a twist, however. Once either brother is pushed to the checkpoint, all players will be sent to a demonic cave only known as Hell.

In Hell, the teams are pitted against each other, and all players must attempt to enter the Skull Island. If they do so, they receive a special hat. Any players killed in Hell become ghosts and must pursue the living players.

Locations

  • The Hightowers
  • Central Tower
  • The Crossing
  • The Ramp: Unlike Hightower, the carts do not fall back down these ramps by gravity.
  • Cliff-House: Its back wall is now opened up and can be fallen off of.
  • Balconies
  • Tower Corridors: Some changes have been made here, including small puddle rooms on each side that players can drop down into, and small inaccessible tunnels, possibly used by the skeletons.
  • The Bridge: Appears and disappears.
  • Hell: When one of the caskets reaches its goal, both teams are sent to Hell.

Strategy

See Community Helltower strategy
