Tug of War is a community-created game mode added in Scream Fortress XVI with the October 10, 2024 Patch. It combines features from King of the Hill and Payload, featuring a central capture point that sits atop a pushable cart.
Gameplay
General
The capture point in Tug of War sits atop a moving cart that starts as neutral at the beginning of the round, which either team must work to capture. Upon capture, the team with control of the capture point may push the cart by standing on top of it, moving it towards the opposing team's checkpoint. After capturing this checkpoint, the controlling team's clock begins to count down, and results in victory upon reaching zero. The team not in control of the point cannot push the cart until they capture the point, after which they may then push the cart back towards the other team's checkpoint.
Cart mechanics
The cart is pushed by standing on top of it – the more people there are, the faster it moves, up to a limit of 3 players. Any additional players beyond 3 do not increase the speed further. Players on the opposing team may also block cart progress by standing on the cart. Cart progress will not regress if left unattended for extended periods of time, though capture progress will decay if the point is not fully captured.
The cart itself functions as a level 1 Dispenser for the team currently in control (and disguised enemy Spies), restoring health, ammo, and metal to those pushing it. The cart has a glowing outline effect that changes colors based on the team currently in control, enabling its position to be identified through walls and from further away, allowing players to keep an eye on its whereabouts at all times.

Tug of War maps carry the tow_ prefix; community maps are identified with italic font.
