| “ | Your robot attackers have been replaced by a single apocalyptic wave of zombies! How many zombies? How does 666 sound, fear friends? Because it sounds like a candy-ass pile of crap to us! 666 is where we started. But where we ended was MORE THAN EIGHT HUNDRED!

Coaltown Event is a map that was released on October 26, 2012, as part of the Spectral Halloween Special update. It is designed for the game mode Mann vs. Machine. Coaltown Event is a version of Coal Town at night, with pumpkins, gravestones, and other Halloween-themed objects scattered around. It is unique in that all robots on the map are reskinned to look like zombies, though this is purely cosmetic. The map contains only 1 mission: the Nightmare mission Caliginous Caper. As it is not playable in Mann Up mode, there is no reward for completing this mission.

Strategy
A strategy that is very useful is to have a balanced team, meaning not having too many players play as one class. You should only have 1 of each class and have the most useful ones to give a better advantage towards your team. The most useful classes to have are the more Powerful classes such as Heavy, Soldier, Demoman, Engineer, and Pyro. Then for money collecting, use Scout.
Among this huge wave, there will be breaks and pauses during it, use this opportunity to go buy power ups for you Power Up Canteen and upgrades as well. Power Up Canteens will be very important to have though to destroy tanks, giant robots, and more. Upgrades should also be spent on resistances such as critical and blast. These resistance will become more useful later on for most classes, especially Scout for collecting credits.
Bugs
- When playing with minimal HUD, the bar on the top will not display correctly.
- Some of the zombie reskins encountered on this map do not have an animation for jumping into the bomb hatch; as a result, they appear to simply vanish when the wave is failed.
- When Halloween costumes are not allowed, the zombies will appear as normal humans.
