The Spy on fighting freaks

Freak Fortress 2 is a modification that extends the concept of VS Saxton Hale Mode. Like the original Saxton Hale mod, the mod changes the rules of Arena maps, making all players fight against a single, but very powerful boss.

Bosses are based on Community fads. Each has different abilities, but they share similar concepts and rules. All of them have relatively large amounts of health points, which varies, depending on the amount of opposing players. They are restricted to using melee attacks, though they deal a large amount of damage -- 210±10 points per hit -- enough to kill most classes in a single hit.

Bosses can also have forms of advanced movement, such as super-jump. They can also build "Rage" when damaged. When their rage meter is full, they can unleash a powerful attack, which causes an effect that varies depending on the boss they are playing as.

  • The Cloak and Dagger is not allowed and is replaced with the Enthusiast's Timepiece.
  • The Dead Ringer does not provide damage resistance while cloaked. When activated by an attack by any boss, will cause the player to take approximately 62 damage, instead of 10% of the boss's punch damage. Uncloaking with the Dead Ringer will not reduce the player's Cloak meter to 40%.

Bosses

Bosses have several advantages over regular players, assisting them with taking on entire teams. Some abilities are specific to certain bosses, but they all have the following:

  • Super Jump: To use the super jump, hold down the right mouse button while looking upwards and then release it. The Super Jump is a very high jump, giving similar height to a rocket jump. This allows the boss to reach certain areas, or to surprise players by attacking from an unexpected angle. The longer the button is held down, the higher the jump will be. This also allows the boss to escape pits that would normally kill a player. When in such a hazard, the jump becomes much stronger, and is called a Super Duper Jump.
  • Weighdown: To use this ability, crouch and look down while in mid-air. Causes the boss to fall much faster than normal players. This makes it much harder to juggle the boss.
  • Speed up: Most bosses have a similar ability to The Escape Plan, causing them to speed up as they are injured. By default, bosses begin the round with the movement rate of a Medic (107%), which increases to that of a Scout (133%) when severely injured.
  • Rage: Bosses have a rage meter, which builds when they take damage. When the rage meter is full, the boss can execute a taunt with a devastating effect. The effect is different for each boss, but all taunts will scare players within a certain radius. Rage requires 1900 damage by default to build a full charge.
  • Health: Bosses have a massive amount of health, which increases with the number of players. The basic health formula is:

[(460+n)×n]1.075 where n is the number of players.

Certain bosses may have more or less health than the default. For example, the Ninja Spy has a third of the health of other bosses, using the formula: [(460+n)×n]1.075/3

Demopan

Stout Shako for two refined!
Demopan on effective trading.

  • Health formula: [(460+n)×n]1.075

  • Rage: The Demopan's rage fills every opponent's screen temporarily with fake trade requests, blocking their screen.
    • Scare radius — 15 meters.
    • 1900 damage to activate.
  • Charge: The Demopan charges. This is the same as the ability of the Chargin Targe. This is used by reloading as the RMB is already bound to the rage taunt. This ability drains rage and is only possible if the Demopan has between 10% and 90% rage.
  • Unlike other bosses, the Demopan has the move speed of a regular Demoman (93%).
  • An enemy killed by the Demopan turns into a Stout Shako.


Seeman and Seeldier

See?

Seeman and Seeldier, as they appear in mode
  • Seeman and Seeldier appear together, played by different players. They are individually weaker than the other bosses, but they make up for this by working together.

    • 1900 damage to activate.
  • Rage (Seeldier): All players who have been previously killed are resurrected as clones of the Seeman, but with much less health and no special abilities. If Seeldier dies, all these minions die.
    • Scare radius — 15 meters
