Map Overview
Bonesaw (map) overview.png
The Mann Brothers have had their souls trapped within haunted gravestones. Push your team's saw into the enemy team's grave to destroy it, release their soul, and trap it in hell for good! Maybe hack a couple enemies apart with your saw while you're at it.
Bonesaw publicity blurb

Bonesaw is a community-created Payload Race map added in the Scream Fortress 2022 update. It is a Halloween reskin of the community Payload Race map Hacksaw. Players have to push a cart with a big saw attached to it. The saw damages players of both teams and its purpose is to cut the grave of Blutarch for RED and Redmond for BLU. After finishing the round, both teams are sent to an underworld, similar to a community game mode Death Run.

Bonesaw was contributed to the Steam workshop.

Locations

  • Cliff Side: A death pit with a medium health kit, this cliff side is near were both BLU and RED's Payload carts start.
  • Spawn: Both RED and BLU, the spawns seem to take place in a storage unit area.
  • Finish Point: This is where the haunted graves are with the Mann brothers souls trapped inside. The team has to stay next to cart until the "Gravedigging" process has reached 100%.
  • The Underworld: Upon the destruction of a grave, both teams are transported to a fiery lumber death run track, with the winning team ahead and the losing team being able to trigger traps.

Hellishly Hollow Horseman

Occasionally, the Hellishly Hollow Horseman spawns where both Payload cross paths with each other. He appears as a burning version of the Horseless Headless Horsemann. Despite having no head, the regular spawn animation is played, where he puts nothing on his shoulders. The Hellishly Hollow Horseman has unique footprints that override the regular Headless Horseshoes materials. This affects both the boss and the players who use this halloween spell on their cosmetic items.
