General strategy (All Classes)

This Halloween map features pumpkin bombs, Halloween pumpkins, Zepheniah's Ghost, and the Soul Gargoyle; see Community Halloween maps strategy.

  • This map is near-identical to Harvest, so you can use any strategies it has. For the Halloween items littered around the map make sure you watch what corners you go into this is because you can run into Zepheniah's Ghost or run in front of a pumpkin bomb which might be harder or easier depending on what class you play. If you don’t watch you can become an easy target for other players.

Class-specific strategy

Leaderboard class scout.png Scout

  • Scout is the most likely to accidentally run into the ghost due to his speed. It might help to take wider corners before running in.

Leaderboard class soldier.png Soldier

  • Soldier's long range damage can help with killing any enemies who are stunned by Zepheniah's ghost while keeping your distance.

  • The Powerjack's extra speed is helpful for getting you around the map but it might make you accidentally run into the ghost.
  • Compression blasting players into the ghost can give you a decisive advantage by stunning players.

  • Be careful what hallways you place in because Zepheniah can make them useless by detouring them away. Pipes can be used to punish stunned players while keeping your distance.

Leaderboard class heavy.png Heavy

  • While you have a better chance of not running into Zepheniah as Heavy, you will have a harder time getting away from Zepheniah too.

  • Sentry Guns can be placed in the hallway exit to catch stunned players who are running away from Zepheniah, or players trying to get ammo or health but it might be more helpful for your team to place the Sentry Gun by the control point.

Leaderboard class medic.png Medic

  • Medics have to be careful to not be stunned by Zepheniah as you become a very easy target for Snipers and cannot heal your teammates anymore, possibly causing your teammates to die.
  • Leading chasing enemies into Zepheniah can help you live long enough to escape.

  • Make sure you scan the area before going for a target because being stunned can ruin your attempt to backstab your enemy.
