Anyone else here who can't get enough of this shit? I'd love some more holiday events :iamafag:

Nabbed the Pumpkin hat and the accursed metal, two cheeves to go.

[ICEE]

I've slain the horsemann, but I'm not sure how to get the metal or the axe. Or any of these new masks... also, my ghastly gibus evolved, and I didn't even have the option of pressing B...


also, the plot thickens (http://www.teamfortress.com/screamfortress/family_portrait/)

[sevlag]

to get the metal you have to melee him once AND SURVIVE

what sucks is you can only get one of the haunted scrap metal so use it wisely (since the axe is a eyelander more or less)

[Yoko]

I've done this at least 5 times as scout and I don't have it, I think Gaben's sitting on his exercise ball (http://imgur.com/1vePd.png) laughing at me right now

[Futzy]

Anyone mid explaining what you're talking about?

[Yoko]

On the new Mann Manor map, the Horseless Headless Horsemann spawns every 6-7 minutes or so. They basically stole the l4d tank concept and put it in tf2; Horsemann has 3000hp, can't be jarated, milked, stunned or lit on fire, one hit kills, auto-targets people randomly and runs after them and the ground shakes when you're close to him. To get the Gored! achievement and metal, you have to melee him once or land the killing melee blow on him which is damn near impossible with his giant fucking axe and speed.

e: this mother fucker right here

I got the metal and the killing blow in the same stroke last night.

Let me tell you, that feels :awesome:

[ICEE]

the first time I saw him, he sprouted out of the ground right in front of me (first time I ever played the map too). I had no idea what the fuck was going on, so I kept my distance. Fortunately a scout ran by and distracted him. I ended up getting the killing blow with my rocket launcher. felt pretty badass


Edit: I fucking absolutely cannot get the metal. I hit him with melee and survived until he died, but I didn't get a damn thing. Someone in the server said you have to strike the killing blow, and another person said you have to be credited with the kill while using a melee weapon. What's the truth?

[Phobias]

was just in a server playing this map, as the boss was spawning a guy tried to taunt kill it, so apparently that doesn't work but does LOLHUGE damage, it went down fairly fucking fast compared to other times.

normal classes can run faster than him basically only heavies should get caught hope this helps


e: also I got the killing blow with an eyelander the first time I played the map jealous?

[Futzy]

I got the achievement for killing the guy and got the head, whats that other thing?

[CN3089]

the unusual metal, which you get by hitting him with a melee attack and then surviving until he dies

[Bodzilla]

oh i thouht you had to like literally kill him with the melee

[sevlag]

base HP is 3K
gets +200 HP per player
required human players in server: 10
HP with 10 player max: 5K
MAXIMUM (based on a 32 player server) is around 8.7K HP

backstabs deal 1K damage, but autoset you to "it" (the person the HHH targets primarily)
wrangled sentries can also do alot of damage to him
best seen strategy is SR sticky traps

Why the crap is the update 500mb?. Does Valve think everyone has unlimited bandwidth? :\

lol anzac internet

That's the only way I got the metal, by literally killing him with melee. Hitting once with melee and running never worked for me. Also, (http://www.tf2items.com/id/starfighterx)

[ICEE]

yes, that is tf2 backpack examiner. Good job finding it. If you want to show someone your backpack, try linking them from your profile directly, like this (http://www.tf2items.com/profiles/76561198004377171).

[Yoko]

/id links aren't working on TF2items.com for some reason, only /profile links. Oh well (http://www.tf2items.com/profiles/76561197985293180), I did get the axe though.

[ICEE]

but mine is 95 levels higher. Yours has much to learn



can't beat my level 1 kabuto though!

Of course it can, because the kabuto is a kabuto and that makes it uncool

[cheezdue]

What makes me sad is that the all the new hats and weapons will disappear after this event. But there is one hat that will stay after the event ends.

Which one is that? The axe?

No they won't.

there will be a couple that wont be useable, but they will remain in your inventory. The axe however, is permanently useable.

[Bodzilla]

no they wont.

read the update you can wear them year round.

[cheezdue]

no they wont.

read the update you can wear them year round.

Really? I read a website that said the items will be gone just right after this event. :ugh:

[Sel]

the artpass map blew, 3dnj's mountainlab definitely didn't deserve to win, it's fucking terrible in comparison to acegikmo's and ym's (mann manor).

Also could give less of a shit about the items, since they're ruining tf2 and all.

[sevlag]

the masks make great bargining chips...been getting keys for the masks

[Aerowyn]

Aw shoot, I missed this. :(

Too busy working XD Anyone have one of these spare masks/weapons they'd like to donate to me?

[annihilation]

When the hell are they removing the Halloween stuff?

[CN3089]

The 8th.

[ICEE]

in all this time, I only got 3 of the masks. Oh well, I wouldn't have worn the hale mask anyways.
