Hold the Flag
| “ | ” |
Hold the Flag is a community-created game mode added in Scream Fortress XVII with the October 9, 2025 Patch. Its main gameplay is holding onto an Intelligence briefcase until the timer runs out, similar to King of the Hill but with a briefcase instead.

Gameplay
The Intelligence briefcase starts in a neutral grey colour, and cannot be picked up for a short period of time, similar to the control point in King of the Hill. The player holding the briefcase is visible through walls, and as long as they are holding onto it the timer counts down. Upon hitting zero, the team holding the briefcase wins the round. If the briefcase is dropped, it does not reset the team's counter, but simply pauses the countdown. After a short period on the ground, the briefcase resets to its starting position.
