“

LOOK OUT DRACULA IS BEHIND YOU! [sound of a creaking door] Ha ha ha! If you scare that easily, this map will kill you.

— Haunted Hallowe'en Special

”

Harvest Event is a community-created King of the Hill map. It was released with the Haunted Hallowe'en Special Update as an official community-developed map due to its outstanding quality. This is a Halloween-themed version of the Harvest. It includes many gameplay elements that are unique to the map.

In this Halloween version, as with all later Halloween maps, health packs are reskinned as chocolate bars and candy tins. Pumpkin bombs are scattered strategically throughout the map and explode when shot, damaging and possibly killing players (regardless of team) in close proximity. Killed players will randomly drop a Crit-boosting Halloween pumpkin full of candy. The ghost of Zepheniah Mann wanders around the map, haunting any players who venture too close. Soul Gargoyles spawn on the map for each player individually during game play.

-== Common strategies ==
+{{clr}}
-* The center shed provides more cover for attackers than defenders. Capturing the point is easiest with support from team members outside the shed.
+== Strategy ==
-* [[Soldiers]] and [[Demomen]] can jump onto the roof of the shed with [[rockets]] or [[stickies]] and attack from above. It's also possible to lob grenades or [[Syringe Gun|syringes]] in through the roof.
+{{map strategy link|Harvest Event|main=yes|stub=yes}}
-* The peaked roof of the farmhouse can provide cover for [[Snipers]] if they stand on the back of the roof and fire over it at the enemy, but this prevents them from firing at the area between the farmhouse and the center shed.
-*Snipers like to stay in the upper levels of their team's farmhouses. If you happen to be in the area, take a moment to sweep the upper floor for enemy Snipers.
-*[[Scouts]] can [[Double Jump|double-jump]] to the middle shed and then across to the other team's building. This can be useful if the ground-level area is highly contested.
