Coal Town is a Mann vs. Machine map released in the Mann vs. Machine Update. The map contains 6 missions: the Normal mission Crash Course, the Intermediate missions Cave-in and Quarry, the Advanced missions Ctrl+Alt+Destruction and CPU Slaughter, and the Expert mission Cataclysm.

A Halloween-themed nighttime version of this map, Ghost Town, was added in the Spectral Halloween Special. This version of the map has a single, unique mission: the Nightmare mission Caliginous Caper.

  • Left Side Hotel (Top Floor): Pathway for robot waves. Contains medium health and ammo kits.
  • Right Side Mann Mining: Pathway for robot waves. Contains max health and ammo kits.
