Spawning out of bounds?

Sometimes the gift will spawn behind the door and boxes to the right of the first capture point.

I've seen this happen twice, but only in that particular spot. --Lord Kennerson 09:32, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Frequency & Required Players

Do we know how frequently the present will spawn, or how many players have to be in the server for it to start spawning? It's probably 10 to start spawning, same as what's required for the Horsemann, but does it spawn more or less frequently than he does?--Lijitsu 09:40, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I've seen it spawn three times a round, but it seems to be twice a round on average. I've seen the Horsemann spawn twice a map, but never three times. Just my experience. GeneShark 09:42, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
It spawns at about the same frequency as the Horsemann. The last few games I've played, they usually spawned within a minute or two of each other. Also, you only need 6 people in the server for it to spawn. I've seen it spawn with 6 people, but never 5 or less. -- Alex2539 -- 09:49, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
Do they spawn with bots? Serird 14:48, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
No, at least they didn't for me. I tried playing with 10 bots all dancing around and with my billion and a half(cheated) health, and no gifts spawned. Did find out that if a Medic is healing the person who kills the Horsemann, or possibly just heals someone who damages him, they get credit too.--Lijitsu 16:06, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I got it (at least in this server I'm in; 11 players). It respawns 5 minutes after the gift is taken. I need more people to check on their servers though. ShunyValdez 15:02, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I've tested it on numerous servers. Gift respawns consistently every 5 minutes after the gift is taken. Although, I would like someone to confirm just in case. ShunyValdez 18:22, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

I changed it from Six to Ten, it's Ten after hours of testing and the article on the hats from the gifts states ten as well. Crap 17:32, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

After hours of testing I can confirm it needs 10 players at least for it to spawn. The 10 can be a mixture of a players and spectators but 10 people must be connected to the server. Moussekateer 21:23, 28 October 2010 (UTC)


Someone keeps reverting it to 6, but it is 10, not 6. 10 people must be connected, they can be in spec, or connecting, but it must be 10, not 6. Crap 04:40, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
