The Knight is the second experimental boss from an old Mann vs. Machine prototype from 2009 simply called "Raid". It was a replacement for Mecha Level 4 Sentry. The mini-boss version is a gray, Sentry Buster like creature. The final boss version is a large gray, faceless and armored Demoman.

The existence of this boss was first discovered in the form of filename strings found in some .lst files from before the May 13, 2013 Patch when all .lst files in the tf\reslists folder were deleted. These filename strings are for files related to a knight with a big sword and big shield and several armor pieces.

  • tf\materials\models\bots\knight\knight.vmt
  • tf\materials\models\bots\knight\knight.vtf
  • tf\models\bots\knight\armor_parts.txt

The following models were also listed with .ani, .dx80.vtx, .dx90.vtx, .jpg, .phy, .sw.vtx and .vvd files, which have been omitted from the list below for brevity's sake.

  • tf\models\bots\knight\armor_arm_upper_l.mdl
  • tf\models\bots\knight\armor_arm_upper_r.mdl
  • tf\models\bots\knight\armor_leg_upper_l.mdl
  • tf\models\bots\knight\armor_leg_upper_r.mdl
  • tf\models\bots\knight\knight.mdl
  • tf\models\bots\knight\knight_animations.mdl

It is assumed that the following two weapon models were for this boss as they are only found listed in the .lst files.

  • tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_bigshield\c_bigshield.mdl
  • tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_bigsword\c_bigsword.mdl

Stats

  • Invulnerable all the time, unless stunned.[2]
    • The only way to make boss vulnerable is to hit specific body part on boss.[3] The team must perform three skill shots in a row to successfully stun boss.
  • 300 Hammer units run speed.[4]
  • 1000% damage received when stunned.
