Exploits

“

I have considered an appropriate punishment for the good-for-nothings responsible for this horrendous breach of conduct. Death, of course—but death is too good for disappointments such as these. — The Administrator

”

An exploit is a bug or unintended feature of gameplay that is deliberately and knowingly used by the player to gain an advantage. For example, if a bug enables a player to be immune to damage and a player knowingly uses it, it is an exploit. In contrast, bugs or problems which either do not affect gameplay or that are not intentionally triggered are classified as glitches.

File overriding

The game has a console variable sv_pure that controls which files clients are allowed to override. Except for a few critical files (mainly the game executables), anything goes unless the server owner denies it. This can be abused to use tampered materials that renders on top of walls and other trickery.

There are three modes for the variable:

By Class

All Class

• An exploit called quantum crouching or crouch locking allows for you view to be above the appeared crouch level. It can be used to attack under floors, shoot behind walls crouched, and even placing buildings out of maps.

Scout Exploits

• The Soda Popper's hype and the Baby Face's Blaster's boost share the same item effect meter. This allows players to farm hype during set up times, switch weapons and have almost maximum speed right away.
• With the Flying Guillotine, if the player runs towards a thin wall and throws the projectile, the projectile can go through the wall.

Soldier Exploits

• After gaining a full rage meter for any banner item (Buff Banner, Battalion's Backup, or Concheror), equipping a different banner and blowing the horn while touching a resupply locker will transfer the rage to that banner.
• The Cow Mangler 5000 can be fired through thin walls. This is mostly noticeable in Thunder Mountain's spawn gates.
• The Kamikaze taunt can be used to kill enemies on the other side of a wall or closed setup gate.

Pyro Exploits

• Using any of the Flamethrowers and firing in a downwards position will sometimes cause flame particles to go through thin walls, such as setup gates, and ignite players on the other side of the gate.
• The Flare Gun, Detonator, and Scorch Shot projectiles may sometimes be able to launch itself through thin walls if aimed at the right place
• Taunting with the Balloonibouncer in front of a wall will cause the player to submerge into the wall, causing the Pyro to be not visible. (PC version only)

Building and Engineer Exploits

• An Engineer can hit an enemy twice with the Gunslinger and then swiftly switch to the primary or secondary weapons to store a crit in the Gunslinger. Even if the Engineer change class, the crit will still store in the melee weapon.

• An Engineer can constantly use their Teleporter to farm points, as they are awarded one half-point for every time they take their own Teleporter. (Xbox 360 and PS3 versions only)

• If an Engineer switches to the different Wrench while having a Gunslinger equipped, holding an undeployed Mini Sentry Gun toolbox inside of a spawn room, the player can still place down a Mini-Sentry Gun.

• Building a Teleporter Exit on a staircase and then an Entrance above it will cause players to become trapped when they use the Teleporter.
  • This exploit can be used to launch the player a long distance. By building a Sentry Gun and shooting the player with the Wrangler in the direction that want to fly, then destroying the Teleporter Entrance, the player will be launched a long distance.

• An Engineer can use a method or exploit called quantum crouch or crouch locking.
  • This exploit can be used to put buildings or to be able to get out of the map. In order to do this, you have to find a ledge, or anything you can stand on, (It has to be a prop, or a building.) and you proceed to crouch. Now, if you're on a ledge, you must get out of it, uncrouch, then in the middle of the animation, you have to crouch again. If you did it successfully, you can now view as a standing person, while in the game, you're still crouching.

Medic Exploits

• "Needle Boosting" involves a player standing over a Medic, who then proceeds to shoot their Syringe Gun upward as the player jumps. Due to a physics error, the Medic's Syringe Gun needles propel the target upward. (Xbox 360 and PS3 versions only)
• When using a Strange Medi Gun in Mann Vs. Machine, you can use the pre-round ÜberCharge boost to rank up the weapon.

Spy Exploits

• Spies can place Sappers through thin walls, sapping buildings on the other side. (PS3 version only)

Map Specific Exploits

Frontier

• A Heavy wielding an all class melee weapon can suicide on the cart, then another Heavy wielding any kind of Glove can pick up the dropped melee weapon, resulting in the heavy dropping the gloves into the world. The model for the various forms of gloves can be placed into the cart by repetitively switching between the two weapons, until the glove model is stuck into the train, separating the platform from the train, and the head of the train keeps moving while the platform is stopped. (so long as the blu team stays on the disconnected platform.)

• A Red Engineer can build a teleporter in the final spawnroom which makes it possible for Blu Spies to get into the red spawn room.

2Fort

• Entering Enemy's Spawn In both bases, an Engineer can build a Teleporter using the hole which lets players leave the left spawn room. They must build a Sentry Gun under the hole and jump onto it, then crouch jump whilst repeatedly attempting to build a Teleporter Exit inside the spawn room, which enemy Spies can use to enter the base. This exploit works as there is no func_nobuild brush stopping Engineers from building from under the spawn. (Fixed in PC/Mac/Linux version.)

• Entering Enemy's Spawn 2 A hole in the lower, right side of the No Enter symbol for BLU's base (the one next to the haystacks) can be used by RED players to get into the BLU spawn room. (Present in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.)

• Holding Enemy Spawn Doors Open - Both teams can hold open the enemy's spawn door at the hay room by running into it while it is open. While this works well for the BLU team (as they can potentially spawn camp), it's not so easy for the RED team. Should a member of the RED team attempt this, there is a chance for the player to get stuck in the door, unable to move, and end up getting dragged up and down with the door as the BLU team enters and leaves the spawn area.

• Pointless Room - There is a spot in each Intelligence room, where a player can get other players stuck. This is a dead-end, because players cannot escape, unless they suicide. By building a Dispenser on the left wall of the left corridor (the one facing the Intelligence) and then by using the "jump through roofs" exploits to build a Teleporter Exit, a player can trap other players on their team. There is no tactical advantage to getting in here (Sentry Guns don't work here either), you can't be shot or shoot anybody. It is mostly used by people who are griefing as they will set up a Teleporter Entrance somewhere in your base and an Exit in the roof. This then traps your teammates and forces them to commit suicide. (Fixed in PC/Mac version, broken in 360 and PS3 versions)

• Roof Holes - A hole in the roof of the BLU team's 'upstairs' room (above and behind the balcony) allows arcing projectiles (grenades and needles) to be fired into the 'upstairs' room just outside the BLU team's main respawn room. It can be used for taking out Sentry Guns placed in the corner of the 'upstairs' room. This looks intentional; however the same cannot be used on the RED team's base as chicken wire covers the hole. (Fixed in PC/Mac/Linux version, broken in 360 and PS3 versions)

Badwater Basin

• BLU 1st Spawn
  • The tall pillar of rock in the middle of the respawn wall has a small place to stand on near the top. Soldiers and Demomen can camp up here.
  • The corner rock by the left most exit can have a sentry place if the Engineer can rocket jump and wrangle.

• Final Checkpoint
  • Right before the ramp down to the final checkpoint by the map room is a small roof. Sentry Guns and Teleporters can be built on this roof.
  • Between the 2 upper spawn doors in the corner above the lower spawn and health pack room is a small ledge. Sentry Guns and Teleporters can be built there.

Gravel Pit

• Spawn Building - RED Engineers can build inside their spawn area by crouching on the office chair and facing the computer panel to its right. Once the vertical position of the blueprint changes to match the visible height of the panel (which only occurs in a particular spot), the Engineer can place their construction at a specific mid-air point (this essentially means repeatedly jumping while spamming the keys bound to Crouch and Primary Fire). (Fixed in PC/Mac version)

Steel

• It is possible for a Pyro using any flamethrower to attack any enemies that are sitting on point A from behind the sliding steel door.

Well (Control Point) and Well (Capture the Flag)

• Glitched Area - Backroom (Final Control points in cp_well and Intelligence room in ctf_well) - Allows Soldiers, Demomen, and Engineers to get into the roof area and on the beams. It is unconfirmed if this is an exploit or not as both teams can use it, higher areas are blocked by invisible walls and this hasn't been fixed by Valve even though it's been around a while

Suijin

• Infinite Taunt - If a Soldier goes under one of the bridges in the middle he can repeatedly perform the Kamikaze taunt without dying. This can also be used by a Medic with the Meet the Medic (taunt), crashing a server.
• RED Bamboo Glitch - It is possible for an Engineer to build a teleporter exit behind the bamboo across from the front spawn door on the RED side of the map. This may be used to grief teammates, as they will be trapped there and forced to suicide. This does not appear to hold true for the BLU side. (Fixed in PC/Mac/Linux version.)

Upward

• Taunt kill through floor - If a Soldier can get to the stair way, (the one under the health and ammo, second red spawn) and rocket jump to a ledge, the Soldier and use the Equalizer or Escape Plan can kill players on the red team league. And standing in the right place won't kill you using the taunt kill.
• Sentry out of the map - An Engineer will go to the third checkpoint, (the checkpoint where the rock is supporting the railing of the cart) and will proceed to build a Dispenser, the Engineer will do a quantum crouch, or crouch locking. You can do it, by crouching before going over the ledge, then crouch, and uncrouching in the air. It will show a very small build space, and they can proceed to build a Sentry Gun inside of those rocks. Players who are pushing the cart will be detected by the Sentry Gun. The only way to be able to push the cart again, is for the sentry to run out off ammo.

Warehouse

• Bonk Scout* - If a Scout drinks bonk and intercepts, he can still carry the ball while under the influence of bonk.

• No ball - If someone throws the ball between the crates and the wall, the ball can no longer be scored for either team. (Fixed in PC/Mac/Linux version, the ball now will respawn at the original spot after not being held for too long.)

Mountain Lab

• Player out of the map - Blu Engineer can build a teleporter through a wall in Blu spawn. This way Red Spy can use the Blu entrance and get out of the map aswell. Which means he can spawnkill Blu team near the waterfall. Engineer can also walk around outside the map where he can build a Sentry Gun/Sentry Guns, wich can kill the enemy team, but the enemy team cannot destroy the Sentry Gun/Sentry Guns. This exploit is similiar to upward exploit, where you can build a sentry under the wall, except in this exploit Engineer can go out of the map aswell, which means that the sentry cannot run out of ammo.

Pipeline

• Entering Enemy's Spawn - In the third map rotation, an Engineer can build a teleporter on the scale and let enemy Spies into the spawnroom.
