Gentlemen, this is a mission of utmost importance. Succeed, and you will be rewarded handsomely - you will still be alive by the end.
The details to Fortress Faceoffs' newest covert operation have just been declassified! Teams of five avant-garde assassins will be brought to a new, top-of-the-line training course to perfect their fundamental skills of deadeye accuracy. To raise the stakes, all agents will only have one bullet in their revolvers at all times, and can only earn a new one through eliminating the enemy and confiscating their contraband! And yes, the documents really do contain this much alliteration in them.
Dare you miss your target, and you will be left with only your knife and your bravery. If you succeed in slashing your opponents to submission, you will also earn your bullet back. If you manage to backstab or headshot them, your next shot will be greatly improved with the power to pierce through multiple players! You can reserve these piercing charges for as long as you'd like, but don't get too cocky... or else you may not live long enough to use it!
Sign up today and wire the details to the top men in your secret circles! The games begin on August 11th @ 11:59 PM / 23:59 BST for all regions and will continue for roughly 2 weeks, though you do NOT have to actively participate this long! The top 8 teams will have their talent shown off live, proving once and for all that our tax dollars might actually be good for something! For more information about event rules, prizes, and more, join the Fortress Faceoffs Discord and try not to leave any traces behind!

It’s summertime! If you think that means visiting exotic islands and sipping dry martinis, you’re sorely mistaken: the only drink you’ll be sipping is battery acid. Gray Gravel Co. has taken their robot menaces from the rainforests of New Mexico and shipped them to every corner of the earth to destroy our facilities.
Operation Voltaic Violence is a new Mann vs. Machine charity event brought to you by Moonlight MvM featuring 6 intermediate, 9 advanced, and 6 expert missions across 16 maps. Destroy the robots to earn up to 2 in-game medals! Event servers are available worldwide in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and South Africa.
If missing your federally-mandated vacation days doesn’t sound appealing to you, you can also donate to The ALS Association to help fund research for treating and curing ALS. Donating $5 USD will net you an in-game donator medal! Click here for information on how to donate.
Interested in making your own custom MvM content? New submissions are already open for our next event! Check out our guides for content creation or join the Moonlight MvM Discord for more information. All contributors will earn a special in-game creator medal!

Fall in, men! As the sun creeps over the foggy horizon, so does the adrenaline of war! You know the rules: last one alive, lock the door!
Fortress Faceoffs is prepared to kick off 2023 with Mann O' War, a new all-inclusive event (and they don't just mean skill level)! In this battle, you and four friends may assign yourselves to any of the nine positions a mercenary can occupy! Prove that your team knows war like no other by topping the Group Stage in the tournament bracket, then proceed to the prestigious Top 16! Though you may have already gotten used to senseless violence without benefit, there is a new art of war that Sun Tzu has yet to consider: MONEY!
With the brand-new, state-of-the-art implementation of VScript, the impossible has just been made possible! For each kill confirmed during your enlisting, you gain a cash reward in return! Put these ferocious funds to use at the upgrade stations inside your spawn rooms and enhance your armaments with the same power-ups used to blast steel into shrapnel for the last 10 years (except now, it's more like blasting guts into gibs)!
Sign up today and tell your friends to mention your name for a referral bonus, which will be awarded to each team member in the form of a raffle ticket to fight a silverback gorilla!* The games begin on May 7th @ 11:59 PM / 23:59 BST for all regions and will continue for roughly 2 weeks, though you do NOT have to actively participate this long! The top 8 teams will progress to make live history as leaders command their squadrons to certain victory... or more likely, death! For more information about event rules, prizes, and more, join the Fortress Faceoffs Discord and bring your shiniest badges of honor from home since they do not have any right now!
*Gorilla not included as potential event prize opportunity - they have all been mysteriously exterminated by an unknown maniac. This has instead been replaced by a variety of event-themed in-game items.
