El modo CONTRA Saxton Hale (abreviado VSH) es una variación no oficial al estilo «Titán» del modo Arena, en el que el equipo completo de mercenarios debe enfrentarse a un solo jugador a muerte. La regla principal de matar o morir sigue vigente, pero la modificación incluye que el jugador que se enfrenta a los mercenarios encarna a Saxton Hale (u otro jefe final) con superpoderes y una cantidad de salud superior a la suma del resto de mercenarios. La partida se extenderá hasta que los mercenarios acaben con el jefe o mueran todos los mercenarios.

El mod fue creado por Lizard Of Oz (conocido anteriormente como Dr. Eggman) y la comunidad Random Fortress en octubre de 2010. Algunas actualizaciones (agosto/septiembre de 2010) se añadieron al mod en colaboración con FlaminSarge. Posteriormente, en julio de 2014, Chdata tomó las riendas del desarrollo principal y abrió un servicio de contribuciones mediante GitHub. Saxton Hale está doblado en inglés por Dreux "Druox" Ferrano Jr..

Los mapas en los que se juega este modo suelen tener el prefijo vsh (Versus Saxton Hale).

Jugabilidad

Nota: La jugabilidad puede variar según el servidor. Este plugin es un proyecto de código abierto y cualquier puede modificar sus características para que su jugabilidad sea distinta. Esta página recoge las características de la versión estándar y puede variar de otras versiones modificadas en algunos servidores.

Este modo es similar al modo Arena, cuando un jugador muere, no reaparece hasta la próxima ronda. El jefe, una modificación del modelo del Soldier, solo puede usar armas cuerpo a cuerpo y las Aplastacabezas, además de contar con una gran cantidad de PS. La mayoría de jefes tiene un aumento de salud del +210 %, con x3,1 de daño base de 65, permitiendo causar 202 de daño con un golpe (redondeado de 201,5). Esta cantidad de daño permite matar a casi cualquier jugador de un golpe, excepto al Heavy que tiene 300 PS u otras clases como el Soldier, con exceso de curación. Esto también puede variar si el servidor tiene los críticos aleatorios activados.

Se activará un punto de control en el mapa pasado un tiempo o cuando el número de jugadores RED haya descendido por debajo de una cantidad específic, dependiendo de los ajustes del servidor. En ese punto, la captura del punto de control puede determinar al ganador de la ronda.

Para recompensar a los osados que se atrevan a atacar al jefe cuerpo a cuerpo, todas estas armas (excepto las del Spy y el Hortelano) causarán siempre críticos. Aquellas que matarían de un golpe a un jugador normal, como los apuñalamientos, solo causarán una gran cantidad de daño, pero no matarán al jefe.

En este caso, los apuñalamientos tienen una fórmula que escala dependiendo de la salud máxima que tenga el jefe. En un escenario 1 contra 1 o 1 contra 2, apuñalar al jefe puede consumir un 60 % de su salud. Esto se debe a que es mucho más difícil hacerlo en ese caso, ya que su atención está totalmente centrada en el jugador. En un escenario de 1 contra 31, al apuñalar al jefe se consumirá a penas un 10 % de su salud. Además se hará más resistente a apuñalamientos con cada puñalada que reciba de otros jugadores.

A menos que el servidor haya desactivad los jefes adicionales además de Saxton Hale, el jugador podrá aparecer como otros jefes en este modo de juego; la mayoría de ellos son memes de Internet. Algunos son modelos exclusivos de servidores (como el Demopan), pero la versión troncal del mod incluye una versión jugable del Jinete Decapitado sin Montura en pequeño, entre los que se puede encarnar a los jefes Vagineer, Cristian, el Sniper Brutal y el Conejo de Pascua. También se han desarrollado otros jefes basados en memes, personajes de Valve, otros PNJ de TF2 y mucho más.

La selección de jefe en este modo suele ser obligatoria a usar a Saxton Hale la mayoría de veces, aunque existe la posibilidad de tirar el dado para poder conseguir jugar como otros jefes.

Habilidades de jefes

Para equilibrar a los jefes, existen varias habilidades que pueden adoptar, entre las que se incluyen:

• Supersalto: Al agacharse o usar el disparo alternativo, mirar hacia arriba y soltar el botón de agacharse/disparo alternativo, el jugador será propulsado hacia arriba o en el ángulo que haya apuntado. Generalmente es recomendable activarlo con la tecla de agacharse, ya que usar el disparo secundario puede limitar la habilidad de apuntar con el ratón.
  • El supersalto del Jinete Decapitado sin Montura Jr. está reemplazada por la habilidad de teleportarse a un jugador aleatorio. El teleporte tarda en cargar y aturde unos segundos, dando a la presa tiempo para huir. La colisión entre jugadores también se desactiva unos segundos, para evitar que queden atrapados en el jefe. Para equilibrar un poco la situación, no se desactiva la colisión en Scouts ni Soldiers.
• Supersalto fácil: Una variante del Supersalto que evita que el jefe caiga en una zona de muerte instantánea. Se suele activar cuando el jefe se atasca en una zona de daño por el entorno, donde se permite usar estas teclas. Algunos mapas, como Nucleus, teleportan al jefe directamente en vez de darle un supersalto, debido a la dificultad para salir de la zona. Esta configuración según el mapa se puede configurar en cada servidor.
  • El supersalto fácil del Jinete Decapitado sin Montura Jr. siempre hará que se teleporte. Durante el primer minuto, se teleportará a su punto de aparición. Tras ese tiempo, puede aparecer en cualquier punto. Los mapas configurados para teleportar a todos los jefes al punto de reaparición (en vez de hacer el supersalto) seguirán esta dinámica.
• Furia: Cuando el jefe recibe daños aumenta su medidor de Furia. Al recibir aproximadamente 3500 de daño se llenará al 100 %, según los ajustes del servidor. Se puede activar haciendo la burla o llamando a un Medic, esto asustará a los jugadores cercanos, quitará la mitad de la salud a las armas centinela desactivándolas temporalmente y causará 1 de daño a dispensadores y teleportadores, lo que avisa al Engineer que lo haya construido de que se ha lanzado una Furia. El jefe obtendrá además una bonificación de defensa de 4 segundos de un 33 %. El aturdimiento dura 5 segundos y tiene un alcance de 800 uH, pero depende del jefe. Por ejemplo, el Vagineer, Cristian y el Conejo de Pascua tienen un alcance menor que compensan con otras habilidades.
  • La habilidad de Furia del Vagineer aturde a los jugadores cercanos y otorga Supercarga, protegiéndole de todos los daños. Si recibe empujones por aire comprimido mientras está en Furia se aumenta la duración de la Supercarga un segundo.
  • La habilidad de Furia de Cristian, el Sniper Brutal, le otorga un Cazador modificado que le permite moverse a gran velocidad mientras tensa su cuerda, pero tiene menos alcance.
  • La habilidad de Furia del Conejo de Pascua lo pone a bailar y tirar huevos de Pascua explosivos, anulando temporalmente su arma cuerpo a cuerpo. Los huevos se comportan como los proyectiles de la Bala Perdida. Por cada persona que mate, aparecen huevos de oro, que otorgan 3 segundos de críticos a quien los recoja; esto se puede usar en combinación con la Furia para lanzar explosivos críticos.
• Efecto Plan de Huida: Se aumenta la velocidad del jefe a medida que pierde salud, que se añade a su velocidad inicial.
• Efecto Aplastacabezas: Si el jefe cumple los requisitos para usar unas Aplastacabezas, siempre hará el efecto de matar causando un daño adicional de +210 % al caer sobre un jugador. El daño varía según la distancia de caída. Algunos servidores usan el plugin «Goomba Stomp» que facilitan esta mecánica. Como referencia a la habilidad de Mario de Nintendo, el plugin se activa al caer sobre la cabeza del enemigo sin necesidad de acumular daño por distancia de caída. Un Spy con el Duplicante o el Reloj de Invisibilidad y un Medic con Supercarga pueden sobrevivir al aplastamiento de ambos tipos.
• Aterrizaje: Al estar en el aire cinco segundos, al mirar hacia abajo y pulsar el botón de agacharse harán que el jefe baje para evitar quedar en el aire más tiempo. Esto aplica al jefe una gravedad x6 durante unos segundos para que llegue a tierra más rápido.
• Ancla: Al agacharse en tierra, el jefe recibe un 100 % de inmunidad al retroceso. Es útil para evitar que tiren al jefe en zonas peligrosas.

Estrategia

Artículo principal: Estrategia para CONTRA Saxton Hale (modo de juego personalizado)

Equilibrio

La salud inicial de los jefes aumenta según el número de jugadores que participen. Se calcula con la fórmula [(760.8+n)×(n-1)]^1.0341 + 2046, donde «n» es el número inicial de jugadores contra el jefe y 2046 la salud base.

Salud de Saxton Hale (y otros jefes)

Número de jugadores en el servidor	PS obtenidos por jugador antes de salud base	Salud máxima del jefe
1	0	2046
2	478	3003
3	654	4007
10	938	11425
17	1010	19210
23	1046	26095
30	1077	34343
31	1080	35539

Algunas armas de los mercenarios se cambian por sus armas por defecto o sufren modificaciones en sus atributos para equilibrarlos:

Todas las clases

• Todas las armas cuerpo a cuerpo, excepto las del Spy, el Hortelano y el Puñetazo Festivo causan críticos.

 Scout

• Los efectos de la {{item link|Shortstop]] se aplican sin empuñar el arma.
• La Refrescopeta y Devastadora del Imberbe no están permitidas y se reemplazan por la Recortada.
• Todas las pistolas tienen minicríticos.
• El ¡Bonk! no está permitido y se reemplaza por la Criticola.
• La Criticola da críticos en vez de minicríticos.
• La Guillotina Voladora hace críticos.
• El Bastón de Caramelo da un botiquín pequeño con cada golpe.
• El [[Fan O' War/es|Template:Dictionary/items/fan o' war]] quita un 5 % de Furia al jefe con cada golpe.
• El Asesino Envuelto tiene dos bolas en vez de una.

 Soldier

• Todas las armas principales y secundarias del Soldier (excepto el Exprimevacas 5000 y el Bisonte Justiciero) causan minicríticos contra jefes en el aire.
  • El Impacto Directo causa críticos en vez de minicríticos.
  • El Tirador de Reserva causa críticos en vez de minicríticos, tiene una bonificación de daño de +10 % y 3 cartuchos en vez de 4.
• El Saltacohetes no está permitido y se reemplaza por el Lanzacohetes.
• El Ataque Aéreo obtiene daño adicional cada 200 de daño causado con la propia arma.
• Las Botas Blindadas reducen el daño por caída un 90 %.
• Las Aplastacabezas reducen el daño por caída un 90 %, aumentan la fuerza de salto x1,8 y causan 1024 de daño al jefe si aterriza sobre su cabeza. En servidores con el plugin Goomba Stomp, se puede registrar el daño de las Aplastcabezas y el Goomba Stomp simultáneamente por separado.
• El Refuerzo del Batallón otorga un 75 % de resistencia al retroceso. El medidor se llenará con normalidad, pero sobrevivir a un golpe del jefe lo llenará instantáneamente. Al activarlo, otorga inmunidad a críticos y un 80 % de resistencia al daño de ataques del jefe.
• El Saltador B.A.S.E. reduce el daño del Hortelano un 33 % al estar activo. Un golpe del Hortelano con éxito desactivará el paracaídas si está activado, pero se podrá volver a desplegar al instante.
• La Katana del Medio Zatoichi causa +35 PS con cada golpe y puede dar exceso de curación al jugador.
• El Hortelano hace un daño similar al apuñalamiento. Tras un golpe con éxito, el Soldier debe propulsarse al aire con otro cohete para poder causar otro golpe con éxito.

 Pyro

• Al usar el aire comprimido contra un jefe, este obtendrá 4 % de Furia. Además, al usarlo contra el Vagineer mientras tiene Supercarga obtendrá munición adicional y aumentará el tiempo de Furia del Vagineer.
• Todas las pistolas de bengalas causan críticos.
• El Flogistonador desactiva los críticos de las pistolas de bengalas y causa un 50 % menos de daño si no está bajo los efectos del MMMF.
• La Pistola de Bengalas y el Detonador se reemplazan por un «Megadetonador», un Detonador personalizado que permite hacer saltos más largos pero causa más daño autoinfligido por explosión. Este salto propulsa a mayor distancia, sin importar cómo se detona la bengala.
• Los críticos de venganza del Derritegente causan x2,5 de daño. No quema a los jugadores en la versión por defecto del modo de juego.
• El Hacherminador y la Paliza Postal se comportan como el Hacha de Bombero.
• El Batemartillo otorga al Pyro +25 PS por golpe y puede dar exceso de curación hasta +50 PS.
• El Tercer Grado añade +10 % de Supercarga por golpe a los Medics que curen al jugador. Este 10 % se divide entre varios Medics. Si un Pyro puede atacar constantemente al jefe bajo los efectos de una Supercarga, puede prolongarlo indefinidamente.

 Demoman

• Las Babuchas de Alí Babá y el Patapalo reducen el daño por caída un 90 % y causa 1024 de daño al jefe hasta que aterriza en su cabeza en condiciones de las Aplastacabezas.
• El Targe de Carga, Escudo Espléndido y Tuerceolas bloquea un impacto de cualquier jefe, tras ello el jugador lo pierde el resto de la ronda. Los escudos otorgan críticos o minicríticos al Lanzagranadas, según la configuración del servidor.

• Los Puños de Acero no están permitidos y se reemplazan por los Puños.
• El Puñetazo Festivo no aturde. No tiene críticos como otras armas cuerpo a cuerpo.

 Engineer

• Metal from pickups is limited, as all Ammo crate pickups are converted to the small variation.
• All bosses' rage deals 1 damage to Teleporters and Dispensers, indicating whether rage was used nearby.
• The Frontier Justice is Crit boosted as long as the Engineer's Sentry Gun is actively targeting the boss.
• The Rescue Ranger and Pomson 6000 are Crit boosted.
• All pistols are Crit boosted.
• The Short Circuit may or may not be replaced with a Pistol, depending onserver configuration.
• The Eureka Effect may or may not be replaced with a Wrench, depending onserver configuration.
• Telefragging the boss will deal exactly 9001 damage.

 Medic

• The Medic spawns with 40% ÜberCharge, and after each ÜberCharge runs out, gains 31% Übercharge automatically.
• Targets who have been granted a Crit boost by the gamemode will also deal Mini-crit damage for indirect forms of damage if they are being healed. This can affect an Engineer's sentry by giving it Mini-crits when an Engineer has his Wrench equipped, because the game mode normally only grants Crits without Mini-crits for melee weapons.
• All syringe guns are replaced with a custom Syringe Gun that grants +5% Übercharge on hit and the Overdose's speed effect.
• The Crusader's Crossbow is Crit boosted, deals 45% extra damage, and gains +15% ÜberCharge on each successful hit.
• All Mediguns are replaced with a customized Kritzkrieg that grants both Crits and invulnerability during its ÜberCharge and the Disciplinary Action speed boost effect while healing the Scout. Upon activating ÜberCharge, the Medic is boosted to start at 150% instead of 100% charge, causing it to last for 12 seconds rather than 8.

 Sniper

• All Sniper rifles deal 3x more damage than normal. Critical and Mini-crit hits will still deal the same amount of damage as though they were not Crit or Mini-crit hits.
• The Sniper Rifle outlines the boss (like Payload Cart or CTF Intelligence) for several seconds. The time added to the glow timer scales based on the charge of the shot.
• The Huntsman and the Fortified Compound are granted +100% reserve ammo and deal 50% extra damage. They are also Crit boosted.
• The Sydney Sleeper will not apply Jarate to bosses but contributes half as much rage to the boss than other Sniper rifles.
• The Bazaar Bargain is not allowed and is replaced with the Sniper Rifle.
• The Hitman's Heatmaker gains Focus on hit. The amount of Focus gained varies by the charge of the shot.
• The SMG is Crit boosted.
• The Jarate and Self-Aware Beauty Mark removes 8% of the boss's rage, removes one arrow from the Christian Brutal Sniper if he has any, and reduces the duration of the Vagineer's uber.
• The Razorback is not allowed and is replaced with the SMG.
• The Cozy Camper, along with its attributes, also gives the player a custom SMG that causes the boss to bleed for 1.5 seconds on hit, deals 15% less damage, and does not randomly Crit. It is not granted a Crit boost.
• The Bushwacka will allow the Sniper to hit a wall to 'wall climb'. The attack rate of the Bushwacka is reduced on a successful 'wall climb' to lower the player's rate of ascension, each 'climb' also deals around 15 damage to the player to prevent indefinite climbing. The Bushwacka prevents the player from being healed while in use, to further prevent Medics from allowing a Sniper to indefinitely climb.

 Spy

• A backstab from any Spy knife deals massive damage to the boss, from roughly 60% of the boss's max health at lower player counts to 10% on nearly full servers.
• Upon a successful backstab, both the Spy and the boss are alerted, and the Razorback effect is applied to the Spy, disabling further attacks and cloaking for 2 seconds.
• Being cloaked next to a Dispenser rapidly depletes the Cloak meter to prevent camping.
• Rage stun will still affect cloaked Spies, and show "spooked" ghost particle effects above the Spy's head.
• All Spy revolvers gain a Mini-crit boost while the Spy is undisguised.
• The Ambassador does 2.5x (255) damage on headshots.
• The Diamondback grants 2 Revenge Crits on backstab. Each Crit deals 200 damage to the boss.
• Your Eternal Reward and Wanga Prick only disables Disguise Kit and has a lower decloak sound volume.
• The Conniver's Kunai will start the player off with 65 health instead of 70. A successful backstab adds 180 health to the Spy, and can overheal up to 270 health.
• A successful backstab with the Big Earner grants 100% Cloak meter and a 3 seconds speed boost.
• The Invis Watch, Enthusiast's Timepiece and Quäckenbirdt will grant a 90% damage reduction while cloaked. However, it grants only about 42% resistance against bosses' attacks which allows them to deal 85 damage to a cloaked Spy.
• The Cloak and Dagger is not allowed and is replaced with the Invis Watch or Enthusiast's Timepiece.
• The Dead Ringer grants a constant 90% damage reduction. Unlike the other watches, the boss will only deal 62 damage to a Spy that has the Dead Ringer active, feigned or not.

Recuerda siempre que las mecánicas y atributos pueden variar según la configuración de ajustes del servidor y sus comandos de consola.

Changelog

Registro de cambios:

Version 1.51-1.52 (2/4/2015)

• Added the 2014 festives.
• Market garden nerf: 33% less damage if actively parachuting.
• Successful market garden removes your parachute.
• After a successful market garden, you must touch the ground again before getting another. (Fixes getting stuck in HHH on teleport for multiple mid-air gardens).
• One-Time CenterText messages now appear over repeated messages. For example, "You just backstabbed him" will show for 5 seconds if you're the last player, and prevent the "Current boss health is..." message from overwriting it.
• Fixed rounds ending due to everyone being on the same team when the round starts.
• KGB still acts like GRU, but is no longer visually changed to look like GRU.
• Added some missing Precache stuff.
• Added OVERRIDE_MEDIGUNS_ON. Uncommenting this will replace medigun attributes while keeping their original skin/model, instead of replacing them with a kritzkrieg. Thanks to Starblaster64.
• Fixed the "Living Spectator" glitch that often happens with AFK-Manager and other plugins that move players to spectate.
• Added sm_hale_reload for developers. This command tells the plugin to reload itself at the end of the next round, essentially making the plugin reload itself without disrupting gameplay.
• During the first round, team balance is enforced for even teams. This prevents scenarios where everyone joins RED team and become confused as to why the game won't start (because no one is on BLU).
• Added HideCvarNotify - This blocks chatspam when the following convars change: tf_bot_count, tf_arena_use_queue, tf_arena_first_blood, mp_friendlyfire.
• Special thanks to yarik2720 for russian translations.
• Integrated fix for TeleportToSpawn that prevents the boss from being teleported to other arenas in multi-stage maps, such as in vsh_megaman_* - He will only teleport to the current arena.
• A bunch of random code changes/optimizations/frogs imported from my version of VSH.

Contenido sin uso

• El modelo de Saxton Hale tiene dos grupos corporales, uno para ocultar y mostrar el sombrero y otro añadir bigote o gafas, dándole un aspecto similar al Dr. Robotnik de Sonic.

Errores

• When Saxton is defeated, depending on the version of VSH, his model may disappear and leave behind the ragdoll of the Soldier that Hale is played from.
  • This is the same case with Vagineer, Horseless Headless Horsemann Junior, Christian Brutal Sniper and the Easter Bunny. They will leave an Engineer, Demoman, Sniper and Demoman ragdoll respectively.
    • If a player uses the command explode in console to commit suicide, no gibs will appear.
• The taunt items such as Director's Vision or Schadenfreude can be used by all of the boss characters, albeit without any facial movement, and will activate rage.
• Occasionally, when a player's distance from Hale is too great to render him, the outline caused by the Sniper Rifle will stay in place instead of following Hale's position.
• Jarate is not immediately removed from Hale, but rather removed after a fifth of a second. Thus, Hale may take Mini-Crit damage for that small duration any time the Jarate effect is applied to him.
• When a boss scares an Engineer wearing the Hotrod, the mask flips down.
• If a player joins a VS Saxton Hale server and is fully in-game (e.g. at the MOTD) before a round starts but has not chosen a team or class, they may spawn in at any time during the round by selecting a team and class. This bug also occurs in Arena mode with the server variable tf_arena_use_queue 0.
• When a player is in Pyroland, the bosses' voices may or may not be pitch-shifted, or may be a combination of both states. This is not entirely unintentional.
• The class info displayed on spawn is outdated. According to the current developer, this will be rectified soon.
• Sometimes when being raged players may be able to reload their weapons if "Auto reload weapons when not firing" option is on.

Curiosidades

• La frase de Saxton Hale «WELCOME TO DA TUTORIAL LEVEL!» es una referencia a Awesome Gaiden, una animación popular de Arin Hanson.
• Muchas de las frases de Saxton Hale también son parte de los cómics de TF2.
• Otros jefes tienen variantes para respuestas a apuñalamiento, daño, burlas y otros eventos (por ejemplo, el Vagineer dice frases del Engineer invertidas).
