Crasher, known as "Crasher!" on the loading screen and scoreboard, is a community-created Capture the Flag map added in the Scream Fortress 2022 update. It uses a unique version of the game mode in which the teams must each take their own Intelligence (a barrel bomb) to the opposing team's gate (found inside their spawn area) rather than take the opposing team's Intelligence away from them. Victory is achieved when the opposing gate is bombed three times.
Two competing scientists, Dr. Freakinhuge (RED) and Prof. Bigginsize (BLU), serve as the map's announcers and each castle's custodian. Each has his own "growth ray" invention that, when activated, increases the size of whichever mercenary walks into the intelligence. Along with growing larger in size, each "giant" gains several effects, both positive and negative. Unlike standard Capture the Flag, the bomb is returned to its initial position upon the death of its carrier.
Crasher was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
Contents
Locations
Spawn Laboratory
- Resupply room: Both teams begin the match inside large castles, with a single resupply room overlooking the starting position of their respective bomb.
- Castle interior: A large machine deploys the team's bomb just inside their gate. Exits from the castle are located to either side of the gate. This area is fully accessible to the opposing team.
Courtyard
- Bomb goal: Each team has a control point outside their castle where the opposing team must bring their bomb. Beyond the point is an inaccessible road.
- Archway: The only way into the courtyard is through a set of four arches directly opposite the castle gate. A palisade overlooks the archways and must be circled to reach the goal.
The courtyard outside BLU's castle.
Riesenstadt
- Upper path: A small cobble-paved platform on either side of the village. Each side has a tavern that can be entered and a path to the smallest of their respective castle's archways.
- Taverns: Two single-room buildings on opposite sides of the upper path. They each contain a medium health kit, a medium ammo box, and a pumpkin bomb.
- Bridge: At the middle of the map, and the center of the symmetrical village is a single bridge connecting the upper path of the village.
- Low path: A dirt path that leads directly between each team's bomb goal. branches out into two small basements beneath the bridge, and a large ammo box sits beneath it.
- Basements: Two opposite areas which connect back to the upper path behind the taverns. Both sides contain a medium health kit and a medium ammo box beside a pumpkin bomb.
The village spanning Crasher's middle.
One of the basements.
Carrying the Intelligence
A player carrying the Intelligence/bomb receives the following attributes:
3x the normal size
20x max health
Lifelong Crit boost
75% reduction in push force taken from damage
75% reduction in airblast vulnerability
Immunity to backstabs
Immunity to fall damage
-75% health from healers
-90% health from health kits
-100% maximum overheal
-25% movement speed
Reduced jump height
The Intelligence acts like a Level 1 Dispenser, replenishing health, ammo, metal, and reducing debuff time for both the courier and nearby teammates. Medics healing the courier also build their ÜberCharge at half the normal rate because of this.
Dropping the Intelligence (default key: L) kills the carrier.
