“

(screaming) "Holy crap, this goes on forever." Click to listen — The Scout drops into the Pit of Death at the wrong time, and then he accepts his fate.

”

Pit of Death is a community-made, Halloween-themed Player Destruction map added in the Scream Fortress 2016 update.

The objective for the map is that both teams must kill players for souls and sacrifice souls in the Underworld's house front yard area. A team wins upon successful sacrifice ritual of a set number of souls. The amount varies depending on the number of players currently in the server.

Gameplay

The goal of each team is to collect souls dropped from dead players and deposit them in the Underworld house's front yard to score points for their teams. To enter the Underworld, players must drop into the portal that opens over the Pit of Death every Witching Hour. To leave the Underworld, players must die or enter into a white portal in the house's front door. Exiting by the portal causes them to return instantly to the normal dimension with a 200% overheal, a speed boost, and a crit boost for a limited time.

The non-Spy player on each team with the most souls also becomes the "Team Leader", making them dispense health and ammo to themselves and nearby teammates at the rate of a Level 1 Dispenser. The player's HUD will display a gold star () next to the current number of souls carried. The Team Leader status also gives a team-colored outline with a soul counter, which are visible through walls and can be seen by both teams. If the "Use Glow Effect for Payload Objectives" is not selected in the Advanced Options, only the numbers will be visible to the player.

Collected souls are dropped on the ground if a player tries to carry them into a resupply area, and can also be dropped manually by pressing the drop-item button (Default key: L).

Once one team scores enough points to win (the number scales based on the amount of players at the start of the round), all players are stunned and the winning team gets a crit-boost. During the humiliation, killed players turn into ghosts.
