'''Decoy''' is a map, released on August 15th, 2012. It is designed for the [[Mann vs. Machine (game mode)|Mann vs. Machine]] mode. It was first seen in the [[Mann vs. Machine]] update announcement. It is an abandoned town built near an anthracite coal mine and gravel quarry. In preparation for Gray Mann's robot invasion, the buildings have been poorly altered by the Soldier to resemble a crude facsimile of a Mann Co. facility. The map contains 7 missions: the Normal mission [[Doe's Drill (mission)|Doe's Drill]]; the Intermediate missions [[Doe's Doom (mission)|Doe's Doom]] and [[Day of Wreckening (mission)|Day of Wreckening]]; the Advanced missions [[Disk Deletion (mission)|Disk Deletion]], [[Data Demolition (mission)|Data Demolition]], and [[Disintegration (mission)|Disintegration]]; and the Expert mission [[Desperation (mission)|Desperation]].

Decoy is a Mann vs. Machine map, released in the Mann vs. Machine Update. Decoy is an abandoned town built near an anthracite coal mine and gravel quarry. In preparation for Gray Mann's robot invasion, the buildings have been poorly altered by the Soldier to resemble a crude facsimile of a Mann Co. facility. The map contains 7 missions: the Normal mission Doe's Drill; the Intermediate missions Doe's Doom and Day of Wreckening; the Advanced missions Disk Deletion, Data Demolition, and Disintegration; and the Expert mission Desperation.

Update history

August 15, 2012 Patch (Mann vs. Machine Update)

  • Added Decoy to the game.

Bugs

  • Engineers are currently able to place Teleporters in the top robot spawn. While robots can escape that area, players are trapped until death, unless they have bought the 2-Way Teleporter upgrade. Once on the spawn, it is possible to place other buildings such as Sentry Guns and Dispensers.
  • On the right side of the house in the middle, bots can get stuck on the bomb if it is dropped there.

Trivia

  • In Doomsday, a secret room contains a map with a picture resembling Decoy labelled "Cactus Valley", despite Doomsday being released before Mann vs. Machine was announced. In Decoy, a large wooden sign on one of the buildings near the center of the map says "Cactus Valley" on it, and the tutorial video shown before the player enters the map is called "cactus_valley.wav".
  • Decoy was later mentioned in Shadow Boxers, when Gray Mann's robot army refer to the Soldier as "the genius who masterminded the decoy base."
  • In the building to the right facing the robot spawn is a room filled with half-done and misspelled wooden signs along with several cans of white paint and paintbrushes, obvious failed attempts at making signs by the Soldier during construction of Decoy.
