Helltower is a Payload Race map added in the Scream Fortress 2013 Update. It is the Halloween-themed version of Hightower.


Objective

The objective is to push a cart of gravel containing the skeleton of one of the Mann brothers (Blutarch for RED, Redmond for BLU) to the lift at the high towers before the other team. Occasionally Halloween gifts will spawn for random players on the server. Two types of skeletons can also spawn: team-colored and green. While team-colored skeletons can only inflict damage or receive damage from the opposite team, green skeletons can hurt or be hurt by both teams. Once either brother is pushed to the checkpoint, all players will be sent to a demonic cave only known as Hell.

In Hell, the teams are pitted against each other, and all players must attempt to enter the Skull Island. Any players killed in Hell become ghosts and must pursue the living players, however the ghosts have no way to deal any damage. Pressing primary-fire as a ghost will cause the player to yell "BOO", which can be used to startle living players but serves little other purpose. Players that survive and reach the book receive an empty Spellbook if they do not already possess one in their backpack, which can be filled with pages found from the Haunted Halloween Gift. Only the winning team can receive the Spellbook.

Overview of the map.(Large file)


  • The Hightowers
  • Central Tower
  • The Crossing
  • The Ramp: Unlike Hightower, the carts do not fall back down these ramps by gravity.
  • Cliff-House: Its back wall is now opened up and can be fallen off of.
  • Balconies
  • Tower Corridors: Some changes have been made here, including small puddle rooms on each side that players can drop down into, and small inaccessible tunnels, which can be used to teleport to the opposite tunnel when you are affected by the shrinking spell.
  • The Bridge: Appears and disappears.
  • Hell: When one of the caskets reaches its goal, both teams are sent to Hell.
