| “ | Davy Jones is running out of souls to pay for his Locker so the players must help him out as much as they can...
— Cursed Cove publicity blurb
|
” |
Cursed Cove is a community-created Player Destruction Halloween map released during the Scream Fortress 2018 update. As the name implies, it is set in a haunted, cursed cove. The goal is to collect the dropped souls of dead players and carry them to Davy Jones' Locker, which can only be accessed when the Flying Dutchman appears.
Davy Jones, a large green pirate ghost standing atop the sunken ship, acts as an Announcer. His voicelines inform players when the Flying Dutchman appears and when they will be forced out of the Locker. Additionally, if players get too close to him or stay on the ship for too long, Davy Jones slams his foot onto the ground, knocking players back or into the portal back to the overworld.
Cursed Cove was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Davy Jones' Locker
Davy Jones' Locker is the undersea Underworld space where players deliver picked up souls for scoring. The Locker is accessed only by touching the Flying Dutchman, which appears in the upperworld for only 40 seconds out of every 110 seconds. Upon entry, players spawn in Grottoes on opposite sides of the Locker and receive buffs: players entering at full Heath receive an overheal and a very brief invulnerability while injured players receive only a brief healing. The soul delivery zone is the Forecastle and Main Deck of the Sunken Ship, but souls may be delivered only by members of the team that has complete control of the delivery zone; the presence of one enemy in the delivery zone prevents delivery. Souls carried by a player in the delivery zone are delivered one at a time, about one each second. After the Flying Dutchman leaves the overworld, the drowning sea begins to close in on the Locker. Players exit the Locker back to the overworld either by using the glowing white portal in the Quarterdeck or by being kicked out by Davy Jones. Upon their return, the exiting players receive several seconds of invulnerability and Critical hits. Exiting players at full health receive an overheal, while the injured ones receive only a brief healing.
Locations
- Beach: A sandy shoreline with calm water that stretches from the BLU side of the map to the RED side.
- Docks: Two stone docks where the Flying Dutchman appears. Each dock contains a wooden shack with a small health kit and stairs leading down to the sand between the docks.
- Port: A large open yard near the Docks containing a palm tree and a large rock surrounded by crates. Two wooden cranes are present here: one on top of a building on the RED side and another above the Gate.
- Gate: A stone archway with a wooden gate connecting the Port to the Courtyard. A corridor runs above the gate and overlooks the Port. Narrow planks connect this corridor to the bell tower’s bell.
- Courtyard: A wide open area centered around a bell tower that can be climbed using ramps. Striking the bell causes it to ring. A large gate in this area opens for the Flying Dutchman as it passes through the map with a cart in front of it.
