Map Overview
Barnblitz overview.png
Prove that you’re “born in a barn” (secretly in the Mafia) with this Valve-made Payload Map! Show your enemies you can “hit the broad side of a barn” (be really good at the Mafia) while you make them “buy the farm” (quit their Mafia jobs and becomes farmers) on one outdoor and three indoor capture points (including a final indoor capture point).
Über Update publicity Blurb

Barnblitz is a Valve-made Payload map announced on Day 1 of the Über Update. It features one outdoor and three indoor capture points.

Goal

  • BLU Team: The BLU team's primary goal is to guide the cart on its tracks throughout the map. By continuously pushing the cart forward and breaking through RED defensive positions, it will detonate and the BLU team will be victorious. Failure to push the cart forward by having teammates near it will eventually result in the cart slowly moving backwards after a period of time, eroding your team's past progress.
  • RED Team: Opposite the BLU team's objective, the team function of RED, as a group, is to deter and stall the BLU team and prevent them from advancing the cart to its final destination. By fighting off their opposition for a long enough period of time, the RED team will be victorious. The most effective way to stall the BLU team is to remain very close to the cart, thereby halting it from moving even with BLU forces nearby.

Trivia

  • Official Valve servers were running development versions of Barnblitz months before its official announcement.
    • Barnblitz was later leaked in a promotional image for Steam's screenshot feature.[1]
