Terror is a community-created Payload map released during the Scream Fortress 2021 update. It is set in an area located somewhere between Carnival of Carnage and Gravestone where Gonzo, the brother of the Ancient Sumerian circus god Bonzo, inhabits. BLU team is tasked with pushing the Payload into the maw of Gonzo whereas RED is tasked with defending him. Like Brimstone, the track has a point where the Cart can take one of two alternate routes.[1]
Once the game has progressed enough, several coffins around the map open and reveal a shining bright light. Approaching the coffin takes the player to the Underworld, where several rare magic spells are located.
Terror was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Locations

Checkpoint A
- Front yard: Usually the first battlefield on the map, located right outside of the BLU spawn.
- Low-hanging Roof: Adjacent to the BLU's spawn building, there is a section of the roof hanging relatively low, making it accessible to everyone. Engineers can also construct buildings here.
- RED Shed: After traversing the Front Yard, the Cart continues its journey through the RED Shed, a large wooden building stretching from one side of the map to the other.
- Rocks: A group of large boulders can be seen standing just beside the first checkpoint itself.

Checkpoint B
- Crossing: A building reminiscent of a border crossing. It separates the Slope from the area of checkpoint A. Also serves as a flank route to the Cliffside Shed.
- Slope: Once the first checkpoint is captured, the Cart makes a turn to the left and starts descending down a slope.
- Old Geeser: Next to the Slope is a rather small house called Old Geeser.
- Cliffside Shed: Opposite the Old Geeser is a tiny, wooden shed hanging of the cliff.

Checkpoint C
- Mann Manor: After descending down the Slope, the Cart makes two right turns and enters a compact area in between the Mann Manor and Old Geeser.
- Bridge: Directly connecting the two aforementioned buildings is a bridge running above the cart's tracks.
- Tree: In one of the corners, a dead tree surrounded by a group of rocks can be found.

Checkpoint D
- Casali Shafting: The entire Checkpoint D, as well as the area around it, is located inside the Casali Shafting building. The largest building on the entire map.
- Flank House: On the right flank is a house directly connected to the Casali Shafting building, offering another way of entry.
Fourth Checkpoint

Checkpoint E
- Outhouse: There is a miniscule outhouse hanging by the Pit. It usually contains nothing of interest except a couple of spells.
- Pit: This is the giant hole in which the BLU throws the Cart, thus ending the round.
