After nearly a decade of fruitlessly throwing endless streams of Merc bodies at hordes of evil robots, it's about time to shake things up a bit! What could possibly be more effective than that, you ask? It's simple: become a horde of evil robots! The folks at Potato.TF aren’t entirely certain whether this is legal, safe, or even humane, but they're going to find out one way or the other. After all, science isn't about WHY, it's about WHY NOT!
Operation Rewired Rampage is a charity event created and hosted by Potato.TF. Players are now robots and must fight their way to RED’s base. Blast your way through more than a dozen community-created maps and missions this summer and experience MvM like never before! Servers are available in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Click here to get started!
In addition to destroying robots (as robots), there is a charity fundraiser supporting Direct Relief! Donate as little as $5 to receive an in-game medal! Have the link to your Steam profile ready and click here for more information.
Destroy those robots while you can! The event will end on August 26th, 2022.

Red alert, mercs! April is drawing near, and an unusual yet familiar virus has fallen upon the robotic hordes once again. The aptly named "Meme Machines" are back to wreak havoc, blunder about, and provide a healthy helping of the best medicine money can't buy—laughter! Now sign up for the cheapest insurance plan you can find and grab your guns, because it's time for a comedy session!
Operation Peculiar Pandemonium is an April Fools Mann vs Machine tour brought to you by Moonlight MvM that once again pits the Mercs against a meme-fueled robotic onslaught. Complete all the waves in this intermediate-difficulty tour to earn a special pink tank medal! Event servers are available in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
In addition to wrecking the meme machines, you can also donate to the charity fundraiser for The National Breast Cancer Foundation of Australia. Up to three pink donor medals are up for grabs for donations of A$6 (US$5), A$20 (US$15), and A$33 (US$25). Both cash and TF2 items are accepted. Click here for more information on how to donate.
Have fun, but don’t delay or else the meme machines will conquer the world by April 11th!

Ready those arms, mates! There's about to be an uprisin'! Sticks and stones will be breaking bones, but words make advertisements cooler! The Fortress Faceoffs team is back with a new event this season to try out some old-fashioned archery! That's right, this action-packed hunter holiday isn't gonna hide much longer! Come participate in the Bowmann Brawl Tournament, featuring teams of five competing against one another to see who's got the sharpest eye and the least impact wounds! Battles will take place across five lovely landscapes designed to test who's the best at "standin' around like a bloody idiot" on the objective! The eight teams of kings who stand highest on the hilltop will move on to the Fortress Faceoffs livestreams to celebrate their glory on the big screen!
Be sure to get in quick! This is the first of many minor events to come! Hosted around April and October, future minor events will be announced only in the Fortress Faceoffs Discord and limited to a smaller player count.

Listen up mercs, it is once again the end of the year and you all know what that means, don't you? Put your hand down Scout, it does not mean you can try to score a date at the mall while dressed as an elf again. It means that you have once again been enlisted to fight off hordes of angry shoppers, falling trees, and most importantly, robots! And you had better believe those trees will not be on our side, despite that holiday everyone celebrates right about now. Now pack your guns, because your tour of duty has BEGUN!
Operation Binary Blackout is a holiday Mann vs. Machine charity event brought to you by Moonlight MvM featuring 7 intermediate missions and 13 advanced missions. Defeat the hordes of robots in this community tour and earn up to 3 in-game medals! Event servers are available worldwide in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
If fighting off robots isn't enough for you, there is also a charity drive for Child's Play aimed at benefiting the lives of children at hospitals around the world. Cash or item donations of at least $5 USD will earn an in-game donor medal! Click here for information on how to donate!
Interested in creating content for future MvM events? New MvM submissions are now being accepted for the next event! Check out the links below for more information or join the Moonlight MvM Discord to participate in the development process. All contributors will earn a special in-game content creator medal!
Have fun, but don’t delay, because the event will end on March 30, 2022!

T'is the season to celebrate the holidays with friends and family... a perfect time to sign yourself and your best mate up for WAR!
Come one, come all! The Fortress Faceoffs team has partnered with Divergent Media to deliver a special gift for you this Smissmas season! Bring your friends (just two though, please) to compete in a 2-on-2 tournament with a unique spin on a popular game mode! Players will fight against pairs of any two classes with a catch: each one has a limited selection of weapons in their arsenal! Run the gauntlet with a friend as two different classes to form the best combo since 2Fort and defeat your enemies 20 times to win (like in MGE)! Maps have been chosen to provide the most even balance for all 9 classes, and weapons are hand-picked to keep Scout's health insurance in good shape. The top 8 champions will have games streamed live on the Fortress Faceoffs and Divergent Media Twitch channels!
Sign up for Dueling Doubles today to get your spot before they run out! The competition starts December 27th @ 1PM ET / 13:00 CET and will last for around one week. For more info about event rules, weapons, and more, join the Fortress Faceoffs Discord and aim for that high score!
