Map Overview
Decoy overview.png
But if there is one thing we can do that these machines cannot, it is this: we can lie! We will lie to them on the beaches! We will lie to them in the beach parking lot! We may even lie to them on non-beach-related property! About the quality of our munitions! About the strength of our will! We will even lie about lying! That is how deep this rabbit hole goes! But the most important lie we will tell is this: Where the Mann Co. facilities are!

Decoy is a map, released on August 15th, 2012. It is designed for the 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 6 missions: the Normal mission Doe's Drill, the Intermediate missions Doe's Doom and Day of Wreckening, the Advanced missions Disk Deletion and Data Demolition, and the Expert mission Desperation.

Strategy

See Community Decoy strategy.

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 army refer to the Soldier as "the genius who masterminded the decoy base."
