Scream Fortress 2014 or Scream Fortress VI was a Halloween event launched with the October 29, 2014 Patch. It featured a carnival operated by Merasmus, the story of which was introduced in the comic Blood Money. It also added Bumper Cars as the post-round activity, featuring three separate tracks/modes. All players who logged into Team Fortress 2 after downloading the update received a Halloween Gift Cauldron, which contained three random Scream Fortress 2014 items, one of these items always had both Strange and Haunted quality.
The update brought 50 new cosmetics, 6 Merasmachievments, the Halloween event map Carnival of Carnage as well as the Kritz or Treat Canteen and the Necro Smasher: an all-class (except Spy) melee reskin.
The update also brought the introduction to the Strange Haunted quality cosmetics. All Strange Haunted quality items include 2 strange parts -- "Carnival Games Won" and "Carnival Underworld Kills" (players knocked off the track). Regular Kills can only be counted in the Carnival of Carnage.
Timeline
The event began on October 29, 2014, and ended on November 12, 2014.
