Millstone is a custom Payload map. A Halloween version named Hellstone was later created, which was added to Team Fortress 2 on Scream Fortress 2015. It takes place on a snowy, moonlit night within RED and BLU shipping companies. Presents of various sizes are littered in and around the map. The ultimate goal for BLU is to deposit a special Payload, which contains multiple presents instead of a bomb, into a pit containing large gifts and radioactive barrels.
Millstone was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations
CLIFFSIDE
- Road: The cart path starts as a long and narrow winding road with three side passages. BLU can exit via a forked pair of doorways or a far-right exit hidden behind shipping containers.
- Freight House: The first side passage: The doorway overlooks the entire BLU spawn area. Entering from RED's side, a staircase descends into a lower area, adjacent to a fenced upper area. While not high enough to be a damage risk to jump down from, players need more height than a regular jump to reach this area.
- Cubby Hole: The small room after the first U-bend of the tracks is a common ambush.
OILPIPE
- Yard: The road widens at the "Oilpipe", which is opposite RED spawn.
HALLWAY
- Shack: A central building containing health and ammo has points of entry on all four sides, as well as wooden planks connecting its roof to the surrounding buildings.
- The cart has to be pushed uphill before U-turning into the hall.
DOORWAY
- A single small room with six flanking access points on two levels.
THE MILLSTONE PIT
- RED spawn: The final RED spawn overlooks the final Millstone Pit fighting area.
- On the other side of the pit from the tracks, there is a metal walkway. This can also be reached by falling through a hole from the second floor of the "Doorway."
- A building exists with a fenced window, suspended over the pit by beams.
