Outburst is a community-created Versus Saxton Hale map released during the Scream Fortress 2024 update. It takes place in a lush forest in hell.

This map features unique pools of healing water, as well as magical orb-like portals that teleport the player to a pre-determined location when touched. It also features a new design for Saxton Hale, a new ability where he ignites players upon performing a Mighty Slam (albeit at the cost of a 10% damage penalty)[1], as well as some new voice lines. Unlike other maps in the game mode, Saxton Hale is on the RED team, and the rest are assigned to the BLU team.

Outburst was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

  • Spawn: BLU has no Spawn rooms or Resupply Cabinets. They spawn between the Cliffside Shed and the Small Tree Stump.
  • Control Point: The main control point, located in between the Tree Catwalks and Big Oak.
  • Cliffside Shed: A half burnt-down shed containing a large health kit located near the edge of a cliff.
  • Tree Stump: Found in front of the Cliffside Shed, has a medium ammo pack on top of it.
  • River of Lava: It flows from the main control point till Cliffside Shed, where it falls down a cliff beyond the playable area.
  • Tree Catwalks: Near the main control point are two small trees with a wooden platform and an interconnecting catwalk built on them.
  • Mining Shack: Located behind the control point is a dilapidated shack with only its porch remaining.
    • Mining Shack Balcony: Hanging from the side of the Mining Shack is a wooden terrace, which can be used to reach the Big Oak Perch.
  • Ale House: A wild-west style building found to the rear of the Big Oak.
  • Big Oak: The largest and most central location of the map, it is a massive tree with a large and multi-floored interior.
    • Perch: Attached to the side of the Big Oak are two flimsy platforms, which overview the point.
  • Healing Ponds: Two tiny puddles containing a healing mixture can be found on the map. They heal at a rate of 10% of max health per second[2] and can only be used by the Mercenaries.
    • First Healing Pond: The Healing Pool closest to BLU's initial spawn is located near the River of Lava. Separating it from the Point are the two Tree Catwalks.
    • Second Healing Pond: Found to the rear of the Big Oak, next to the Ale House.

Portal orbs

The map features glowing orbs suspended in mid-air which act as teleportation devices. They can be found in 7 different locations, although only one or two orbs are active at any given time. Upon touching an orb, it disappears and the player is instantaneously brought to a new location, which is specific for each orb. After approximately 3 seconds, a new orb appears randomly in one of the 7 given locations. The orbs allow the Mercenaries to quickly escape Saxton if he gets too close.
