Mann vs. Machine is a co-op game mode to be released in the update of the same name. In Mann vs. Machine, a team of six players attempts to prevent a horde of robots from carrying a bomb to their base.

Mechanics

The team is attacked by a horde of AI-controlled robots, and must prevent the robots from successfully delivering a bomb to the players' base (as in Payload). The robots come in waves, and between waves the players have time to upgrade their weapons.

Most of the robot horde is made up of plain robotic versions of the nine classes, with basic weapons. However, there are also a number of special robots with unique abilities.

The bomb-carrying robot receives buffs, which increase over time. These buffs are divided into three stages, which stack together:

Stages Upgrades
First stage Defensive buff, shared with all nearby robots
Second stage Health regeneration
Final stage Full crits all the time
