“

Get yourself up to snuff, away from the judging eyes of others, with the Team Fortress Training Mode, where you'll learn the skills you'll need to survive on the battlefield, or brush up on the skills you let atrophy through the endless chain of poor decisions that you call a life! — The Soldier

”

Target is a training map that, along with Training mode, was released with the Mac Update.

It appears to take place behind the BLU spawn in Thunder Mountain, stage one. It can be viewed from behind a pane of glass in the spawn room.

Currently, only four classes have a training course on Target in the normal version of the game, which would include the Soldier, Demoman, Spy, and Engineer. The goal of the courses is to complete the tutorials by following on-screen hints.

Locations

The player is not allowed to exit the training booth, and his movements are limited in that area. Two large ammo and health pickups are found in the booth, next to the player.

Update history

June 10, 2010 Patch (Mac Update)

• Added Target to the game.

April 14, 2011 Patch (Hatless Update)

• Added 3 new training courses for the Demoman, Engineer, and Spy

Trivia

• The tutorial can be played as a different class using the join_class <class> console command.
  • Only the Soldier and the Demoman can complete the Soldier tutorial due to the splash damage test, although up until that point any class whose weapons can reach the respective range on the targets can break them.
• The Soldier and Sniper targets from this make a cameo in Mountain Lab, where a Sniper target is seen at the BLU spawn, and a Soldier target can be found near the second point, hidden away behind a large metal door.
