Graveyard overview.png
Welcome to Graveyard, a fresh, spooky new take on Lumberyard! When you die, your spirit leaves your body, haunting your enemies and healing your allies! Track your teammates through walls, fly to their position, and float around their body to provide the benefits of a level 1 dispenser! Will you group up and stack heals on a strong player, or pair up with a more frail friend to save them in their time of need?
Graveyard publicity blurb

Graveyard is a community-contributed Arena map released during the Scream Fortress 2021 update. It is a Halloween version of the Arena map Lumberyard.

Similar to Lumberyard, the objective of this map is to kill all other players on the enemy team or capture the central control point once it is unlocked. Differing from conventional Arena maps however, once a player dies, they become a miniature Dispenser-like ghost rather than spectating. As a ghost, players can passively heal their teammates and restore ammo similar to a Level 1 Dispenser. They are able to freely "fly" around, and can also say “Boo!” when using primary fire or attempting to use Voice Commands.

To win a game, a team has to win 4 rounds either by capturing the control point, or killing the entire enemy team. There is a 25% chance for a round to start with a Skeleton King. A Rare Spellbook will also spawn 50 seconds after the round starts. After a minute and 10 seconds have elapsed, the control point becomes active. If both teams are still alive after another minute passes, the Horseless Headless Horseman will appear. If both teams are still somehow alive, the round will end in a stalemate.

Graveyard was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
