Map Overview | |
Hacksaw is a community-created Payload Race map set in a snowy field, the goal of both teams is to hack each other's computer terminals using their Payload carts. A Halloween version was added in the Scream Fortress 2022 update.
Hacksaw was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
Locations
- Cliff Side: A death pit with a medium health kit, this cliff side is near were both BLU and RED's Payload carts start.
- Spawn: Both RED and BLU, the spawns seem to take place in a storage unit area.
- Finish Point: This is where the computer terminals are. The team has to stay next to cart until the "Hacking" process has reached 100%.
