The sprawling Big Rock is the largest MvM map yet, which means the attacking robot hordes will have an extra-long journey to reach the Mann Co. base you'll be defending. If that sounds like the easiest MvM map ever devised, you're right! Merry Smissmas everybody! Well, you would be right if Gray Mann hadn't invented the deadly new Mecha-Engineer class. These Grinch-like Smissmas cakewalk destroyers can skip huge areas of the path with their teleporting ability, and also teleport other robots forward instantly with their "telling other robots about the teleporter" ability.

Map Overview
Bigrock overview.png

Bigrock is a Mann vs. Machine map released in the Mecha Update. It is the first MvM map to feature the Engineer Robot, known as the "Mecha-Engineer". The map is host to three missions: the Normal mission Benign Infiltration, and the Advanced missions Broken Parts and Bone Shaker.

This map is considerably bigger, longer and has a more complex structure than other MvM maps, making it more difficult for less experienced players to get accustomed to the map. Both Advanced missions on this map are available in Mann Up mode and are part of Operation Mecha Engine, a new Tour of Duty. Upon completing all three missions featured in the tour, the player receives a Botkiller Mk.II weapon.
