Stop that Tank! is a community game mode that combines themes from both Payload and Mann vs. Machine. Play unfolds on Payload and Payload Race maps. The payload Cart is replaced by the Tank Robot and moves on its own, following the path of the cart. There are two teams: Robots and Humans. They are tasked with escorting the Tank or preventing it from reaching its destination. Players have the opportunity to take control of Giant Robots and Sentry Busters which typically have buffed health, loadouts, and special abilities.

List of Payload Giants

Loadout Abilities Major League Scout Health: 6,000 Movespeed: 320 HU/s  Captures control points twice as fast compared to other giants  Teammates respawn much faster compared to other giants Mobile, but weak, the Major League Scout is ideal at getting the job done quickly. It can only reliably kill one target at a time, but is perfectly capable of stunning or knocking away multiple enemies at once in order to clear a path. The quick move speed combined with the ability to triple jump allows the Major League Scout to take routes other giants could only dream of. Combined with the double capture rate, this causes the Major League Scout to pose a serious threat to the human team should it slip by their line of defense. Force-A-Nature  +100% bullets per shot  +30% more accurate  +900% knockback on target  +2 clip size (4 shots)  -20% damage penalty Flying Guillotine  +65% weapon switch speed  +90% faster recharge rate Sandman  +90% ball recharge rate  +30% melee attack speed  +6 maximum balls carried Giant Soldier Health: 10,000 Movespeed: 98 HU/s Like a normal Soldier, this giant can manage just about any threat. However, it must take care to place its shots carefully, as there are no reload speed or clip size bonuses. Due to the lack of a Shotgun, airblast can be an effective means of defending your team against this giant. Although it's normally quite slow, it can also perform rocket jumps in PLR maps to traverse areas faster, or to make a quick escape. Rocket Launcher  +85% damage bonus  +20% explosion radius  No random critical hits Shovel Giant 10-Shot Bazooka Soldier Health: 10,000 Movespeed: 98 HU/s What the Giant 10-Shot Bazooka Soldier lacks in quality, it makes up for in quantity. As the name implies, up to ten rockets can be quickly loaded and fired at a time, making for deadly close-to-mid range barrages. Alternatively, rockets can be rapidly fired individually, resulting in a steady stream of damage output. However, the Giant 10-Shot Bazooka Soldier is relatively slow, and the rockets are extremely inaccurate at longer ranges. Beggar's Bazooka  +7 clip size  +80% reload speed  +80% firing speed  No overloading  +6 degrees in random projectile deviation  -45% damage penalty  No random critical hits Shovel Giant Pyro Health: 10,000 Movespeed: 171 HU/s Some giants just want to watch the world burn. Others, like the Giant Pyro, just want everyone to get the hell away from them. Should you feel the need to get close anyway, you'll either be either enjoying a nice & warm shower of fire, or you'll be punted halfway across the map. Keep your distance instead, and you'll be relatively safe, so long as you don't feed it projectiles to reflect. Flame Thrower  Airblast destroys enemy stickybombs  Reflected projectiles become critical  +150% airblast push force  +40% airblast range  +40% damage bonus  +50% flame particle lifetime (flames travel further)  +25% flame particle size Fire Axe Giant Flare Pyro Health: 10,000 Movespeed: 111 HU/s You better get ready for some heat, because things (specifically you) are about to get a lot hotter up in here thanks to the Giant Flare Pyro. This giant, as one might expect, specializes in sending enemies scrambling for health due to its ability to hand out long-lasting critical afterburn like candy. With that in mind, it's particularly vulnerable against fireproof humans. Scorch Shot  +80% reload speed  +100% afterburn length  +300% afterburn damage  Does not mini-crit burning players  No random critical hits Third Degree Giant Rapid Fire Demoman Health: 10,000 Movespeed: 109 HU/s Need some pills? This one's got plenty of 'em. It dispenses tons of hard-hitting explosives, although it's unlikely every one will hit its target. Despite being one of the slowest giants, it's capable of performing an explosive jump in PLR maps. Grenade Launcher  +75% firing speed  +75% reload speed  +1 clip size  No random critical hits Bottle Giant Demoknight Health: 10,000 Movespeed: 140 HU/s Hits hard, hits fast, but has no ranged weaponry. Try not to get too close, as this giant is king of close quarter combat, and every kill will make him more powerful. It has no real means of dealing with Sentry Guns however, which means it must rely on teammate support to clear Engineer nests. Chargin' Targe  +25% charge recharge rate  +100% charge impact damage  Full turning control while charging Eyelander  On Kill: 3 seconds of 100% critical chance  +200 health restored on kill  +140% damage bonus  +50% melee attack range  +20% melee attack speed  +0.5s increase in charge length  No head collection Sir Nukesalot Health: 10,000 Movespeed: 118 HU/s Makes Michael Bay look like an explosive amateur. This one certainly lives up to its name, as it's capable of clearing large areas with a single shot. The large explosions leave a cloud of smoke, which can help teammates advance without being seen. However, it has very little means of direct combat, which makes Pyros, Scouts, and other close range attackers much more threatening. Loose Cannon  Always deals critical hits  +600% damage bonus  +100% explosion radius  No fuse  -75% clip size  -47% projectile speed  -80% reload speed  -100% slower firing speed Bottle  No random critical hits Giant Heavy Health: 10,000 Movespeed: 115 HU/s (revved down) 71.5 HU/s (revved up) When it's time to bring in the big guns, this giant's got you covered. It's the slowest giant when attacking, but pumps out massive damage in a constant hail of bullets. Like normal Heavies, it's more vulnerable to Snipers and Spies due to the slow speed and the "focus down individual targets" style of attacking. Minigun  +60% damage bonus  +30% faster move speed while deployed  No random critical hits Fists Giant Shotgun Heavy Health: 10,000 Movespeed: 127 HU/s Ready to get literally blown away? Like the Giant Demoknight, you won't want to get too close, as it has the ability to kill any target in a single hit with a well placed shot. Unlike the Giant Demoknight however, it has no real means of closing the gap without slowly huddling your way, making ranged attacks more effective against it. Be wary that if it gets a kill with its melee weapon, it's going to be raining crits for the next eight seconds. Shotgun  +900% bullets per shot  +90% faster reload time  -130% firing speed  -50% damage penalty  No random critical hits Killing Gloves of Boxing  On Kill: 8 seconds of 100% critical chance  +50% melee attack range  +20% melee attack speed  +65% faster weapon switch speed
