It’s a beautiful day outside. Birds are singing, flowers are blooming. But it is never time to rest! A cloud cover has blocked out the sun, and a blight has overtaken our facilities. But by facilities, we mean Gray Gravel Co. and by blight, we mean massive hordes of robots!
Operation Magnetic Mayhem publicity blurb

Operation Magnetic Mayhem was a Mann vs. Machine charity tour event organized by Moonlight MvM, which entered open beta on February 4, 2024, initially consisting of only the Intermediate difficulty missions. The beta was later expanded to include the rest of the tour on May 18, before the official launch of the campaign on June 3. The tour concluded on June 17, having moved up from the original end date of June 30th.

This event had five medals which were able to be earned by players: two as a reward for participation in the tour, and three for donations to a charity drive, benefiting the National Brain Tumor Society. Clearing any five Intermediate or Expert difficulty missions earned the player the Fiendish Fuchsite medal, and clearing any eight Advanced or Expert difficulty missions earned the player the Megalomaniac Mastodon medal.

In addition, players were able to donate varying amounts through item or monetary donations to receive donor medals. Donating at least $5 USD earned the player the Humanitarian Hiddenite medal, donating at least $15 USD earned the player both the Humanitarian Hiddenite and Barely Benign Bismutotantalite medals, and donating $25 USD earned the player the Humanitarian Hiddenite, Barely Benign Bismutotantalite, and Treasured Tourmaline medals. The charity drive closed on June 30th, 2024, having raised $25,743.26 USD in total.

Content creators whose missions were accepted for use in the event were awarded the Supreme Strategist's Sigil of Status medal.

Each of the gemstone medals reuse models from medals awarded during Operation Madness vs Machines: the Fiendish Fuchsite and Treasured Tourmaline medals reuse models for the Chaotic Crystal, the Humanitarian Hiddenite reuses the model for the Royal Rhodonite, and the Barely Benign Bismutotantalite reuses the model for the Burnished Beryl. The Megalomaniac Mastodon medal reuses the model for the Titanium Tank Participant Medal, initially awarded during Operation Titanium Tank.

The gemstone medals initially drop with custom painted colors which are not otherwise available in-game: the Fiendish Fuchsite medal drops with a lavender color, the Humanitarian Hiddenite medal drops with a bright green color, the Barely Benign Bismutotantalite medal drops with a special team color featuring dark orange on RED, and navy blue on BLU, and the Treasured Tourmaline medal drops with a special team color featuring a bright pink on RED, and light blue on BLU. The Megalomaniac Mastodon medal drops pre-painted with Cream Spirit.

Each of the gemstone medals have two styles, named "Normal" and "Gem Only". The "Gem Only" style displays only the gemstone, without the metal frame.

The Megalomaniac Mastodon was contributed to the Steam Workshop by NeoDement, Sntr, sedisocks, Star Bright, and Hydrogen .

The Fiendish Fuchsite, Humanitarian Hiddenite, Barely Benign Bismutotantalite, and Treasured Tourmaline medals were contributed to the Steam Workshop by NeoDement , Sntr , Erikku , sigsegv , Jakapoa , Pelipoika , Interrobang , Rev , Benoist3012 , kratos , Nuke , Hydrogen , Hyperion , Pineapple Medals Bot , DaanBox , Swordstone , and a whole thing of candy beans .

With a name like "Hiddenite" you might think this gem is particularly rare. But in reality, it is not: the name comes from someone with a last name Hidden. It's still a highly sought after gem, so you should probably keep it hidden. Awarded to donors of Moonlight MvM's spring charity tour!
