Basic strategies

• A strategy is to use Soldier and Demoman on wave 3 to take out the Medics, and a Heavy to clear out the Soldiers.
  • The Medic can also put up a projectile shield to block the robots from hitting the teammates.

Trivia

• Disabled code indicates that another Tank was supposed to spawn on wave 2. This Tank would have a health of 12,500, and spawn 15 seconds after the first one.
