Farmageddon is a community-created Player Destruction map. It takes place on a large farm after a record-breaking pumpkin has mutated into a monster. The mercenaries have been tasked with collecting Weed Killer in order to stop the pumpkin’s reign of havoc. During the match, the pumpkin will periodically lie dormant before waking up for the players to go inside of it to deposit Weed Killer pickups. They will be transported inside the pumpkin and have to navigate to its beating heart to deposit the Weed Killer and be transported back to the main match. During the times where the pumpkin is awake, scarecrows, who are reskinned Skeletons, will spawn and attack anyone close enough, dropping large Weed Killers on death. This map also features its own announcer, that being the Farmer.
Farmageddon was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

- Machine Shed: This is the largest building on the map, encompassing the entire central section of Farmageddon and containing the monster pumpkin that players fight around.
