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.

Strategy

Main article: Community VS Saxton Hale strategy

Strategies against FF2 bosses are almost the same as in VS Saxton Hale Mode.

Balance

Like in VSH mode, Freak Fortress 2 has some weapon attributes changed.

All class

  • All melee weapons, excluding Spy's knife are permanently crit buffed to make up for the tremendous risk of going within melee range of the boss.

  • Crit-a-Cola gives full crits instead of mini-crits.
  • Fan O'War cuts 5% of Boss's rage on each hit instead of marking for death.
  • Candy Cane drops a small health pack on every hit.
  • All pistols deal mini-crits.

  • Metal from pickups is limited, as all maps only have small ammo pickups.
  • Frontier Justice grants revenge crits only when Sentry Gun is either aiming at or shooting the Boss.
  • All pistols deal mini-crits.

Leaderboard class medic.png Medic

  • All mediguns are replaced with the Kritzkrieg with an increased charge rate and the following changes:
    • UberCharge grants both invulnerability and crit-buff for Medic and his patient.
    • UberCharge lasts 50% longer than usual.
    • The Medic begins round with 40% Ubercharge and receives 50% back after the end of an Ubercharge.
  • All syringe guns are replaced with Custom Syringe Gun, which grants +5% UberCharge on hit.
  • The Crusader's Crossbow is always crit buffed, has damage increased by 50% and grants +10% of Ubercharge on a successful hit.

Leaderboard class sniper.png Sniper

  • All passive secondary weapons are replaced with the SMG.
  • Jarate removes 10% of the boss' rage on hit, but does not grant mini-crits.
  • All Sniper's weapons are crit buffed.
  • Bazaar Bargain isn't allowed and is replaced with stock Sniper Rifle.
  • A hit from a Sniper Rifle marks the boss, causing him to be visible through walls to the entire team for several seconds. The duration of this effect depends on the power of the shot.
  • Huntsman's damage is increased by 50%.

Leaderboard class spy.png Spy

  • A successful backstab will deal about 10% of Boss's health.
    • All players, including the boss, are informed when a Spy successfully backstabs the boss.
    • The knife cannot be used for 2 seconds after a successful backstab.
    • The Dead Ringer is also unavailable for 2 seconds after successful backstab.
  • A Successful backstab with the Your Eternal Reward disguises the Spy as a random teammate.

  • Cloak and Dagger isn't allowed and replaced with Enthusiast's Timepiece.

  • Horseless Headless Horseman Junior. Can teleport to the most recent player to damage it and super stomp. Rage scares players within 700 inches (~18 meters).

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.
