Gravestone is a community-created Payload map added in the Scream Fortress 2018 update. It is "the 3rd installment of the stone™ series! A barrel born 2nd cousin of the maps Hellstone and Brimstone, from the deep waters of the underworld!"[1] BLU must push the scrumpy into the gianormous witch's cauldron to win the round!
Brimstone was contributed to the Steam Workshop. It is a Halloween version of the unreleased Rumble.
Ghosts wander the map. MONOCULUS and the Horseless Headless Horseman may appear.
Magic Spells spawn from cauldrons scattered around the map for players to use. Every Witching Hour, various coffin lids and a door open white portals through which players can enter Purgatory. There, players suffer Underworld Health drain and are killed if they touch the Stygian waters; however, they may pick up respawning Rare Magic Spells there before dying or taking the exit.
When the round ends, all players are transported to a Mansion in the Underworld. Winners of the Payload round are given a head start in a Bumper Car Race to the top floor of the Mansion. Shortly after the start, Merasmus and Skeletons appear in the Yard, following the racers and attacking the slowpokes whose only defense is to drive!
Contents
Locations
The map has three distinct sections for the Payload and an Underworld Purgatory and Mansion:
TICK TOCK CLOCK HILL (A)
- Capturing the first point closes the short cut from RED Spawn.
HAUNTED SAWBLADES (B)
- The Binski Logging building hosts a flock of haunted saw blades, flying about to slay any player in the way.
- Capturing the second point opens the forward BLU spawn, releases harmless steam, and shakes the players.
PUMPKIN PATCH (C)
- The Backyard is a side path to the forward BLU spawn and a side entrance to the Haunted Sawblades.
- When the third point is captured, MONOCULUS has a small chance of rising from the lake behind the Backyard, from there teleporting around the map.
Purgatory
- Every Witching Hour, several coffins and doorways open white portals to Purgatory, where players may attempt to collect Rare Magic Spells.
Mansion
- After the completion of the Payload round, all players are transported outside the gates of the Mansion for a Bumper Car Race!
- Racers must thread the Gates, cross the Yard and the Bridge over a deadly pond, and take either the Left or Right ramps to the top floor Balcony.
Strategy
