These bosses are based on [[Community fads]]. Each ones gameplay, abilities and tactics are different, but sharing the same idea and rules. All of them have tremendous amount of health points, depending on the amount of opposing players (up to 30'000 hp!). It's more than enough to survive the deadliest gameplay features, such as backstab, headshot, killing taunt, train hit etc.

They are restricted to melee attacks, though they deal a massive amount of damage- 210±10 points per hit- enough to kill most classes in a single hit.

Damage dealt by their strikes is 210±10 points, making [[Heavy]] and, possibly, [[Soldier]] be the only classes, who can survive a single hit, without being overhealed.
 
−
Bosses have different movement (Super Jump, Teleportation) and Rage (very special and extremely powerful ability, built by being damaged, like [[Battalion Backup]]) abilities.
 
  
 +
Enemies can also have forms of advanced movement, such as super-jump. They also build rage when damaged. When their rage is full, they can unleash a powerful taunt effect.

Freaks from release set

Freak Fortress 2 — is a modification, extending the idea of VS Saxton Hale Mode. Like the original Saxton Hale mod, it changes the rules of Arena maps, making all players fight against single but extremely powerful boss.

Enemies are based on Community fads. Each has different abilities, but they share the same idea and rules. All of them have tremendous amount of health points, depending on the amount of opposing players. They are restricted to melee attacks, though they deal a massive amount of damage- 210±10 points per hit- enough to kill most classes in a single hit.

Enemies can also have forms of advanced movement, such as super-jump. They also build rage when damaged. When their rage is full, they can unleash a powerful taunt effect.

Freak Fortress 2 also includes 2 bosses, featuring in VS Saxton Hale Mode:

  • Saxton Hale - Special guest. Super jump, super stomp, rage roar, scaring people 800 inches (about 20 meters), which is the biggest scaring range in mode.
  • Horseless Headless Horseman Junior. Has a teleportation to a random player, isntead of super jump, super stomp and rage roar with 800 inches range.

Community bosses

Freak Fortress 2 was created to make the possibility of creating your own bosses more easily, allowing server administration to add content inside the mod, without ruining the system itself. Instruction for to make one could be found here. At the moment, there is no community created bosses, due to modification's release day. You can share your ideas at official Freak Fortress 2 thread.

Bugs

  • Boss will drop the corpse of a "real" class after death.
  • Taunts Schadenfreude, Director's Vision and High Five! can be used by every single boss,but lacking the facial animation.
  • Even though Jarate has to disappear instantly, it gives about half a second to strike the boss with mini-crits.
  • When boss scares an Engineer wearing Hotrod, it will fall down like carrying a builder's case.
  • Demopan's Trade Spam ability may conflict with other server plugins using in-game command r_screenoverlay. In this case, it will simply disappear.
  • Ninja Spy can stuck, if he attacks an enemy, standing in places, where you can't pass without crouching, during the slow motion.
  • Boss' firts person view weapons are not real (Bottle and Shovel instead of Seeman's and Seeldier's giant fists).
    • Ninja Spy holds correct weapon at first person view (Shahanshah), but only one of them and has incorrect holding animation.
  • Some bosses have taunts and some aren't. This wasn't planned, because you can't make class do correct taunt animations with weapon of another class.
    • Seeldier is the only boss, using his taunt animation correctly (during the rage).

Trivia

  • Some servers are using «Goomba Stomp» modification, allowing players to jump on a boss, dealing him extreme damage, comparable to backstab. Chat will display a message: «"Username" stomped "Username!"». However, he can do the same thing.
  • This modification was created by RainBolt Dash in April 2012, basing on VS Saxton Hale Mode's 1.38 version, which was also created by him. Now VSH mode is developed by user FlamingSarge.
  • Every single boss is created basing on community fads.
