The tank attacked an importanty building that is used to store supplies, including pills, first aid kits, adrenaline shots, weapons, ammunition, projectiles and more. This means, that the market is unable to delive items trough the !buy command on this area. You must embrace and kill the tank!

    Description:
    It is believed that people who end up becoming one of these tanks had several psychological
    issues among anxiety and depression. Instead of being filled with rage, it displays joy and
    likes to give its victims slow deaths. The tank is able to manipulate the survivors brain by
    releasing a liquid that quickly becomes a gas, generally confused with rain. The tank is able
    to confuse its victims to the extend of driving them insane. Finally, when the tank gets
    bored of its victims, it executes them by dealing a extremly strong punch, destroying all
    their vital organs. This is why the tank is refered to as the Executioner tank.

    Passives:
    -Fire Immunity: the tank is immune to fire.
    -Melee Damage Reduction: The tank shields 90% of total melee damage.
    -Fire rock: The rock can explode and will leave a trace of fire (Damage: 24HP/s).

    -Mega Punch: The tank has a 10% probabilty of forcing survivors to drop their weapons on each hit.
    -Projectile Incinerator: Incinerates any heavy projectiles (grenades, molotovs, bottles) that go
    near the tank. It can also incinerate throwable traps.
    -Mute: The tank has no vocal chords and cannot emit noise.
    -Boomer Motivation: Increases nearby boomers basic stats to deal a lot of damage (Range: 2000)
    -Anti-Moustachio: Moustachio bless does not work while the tank is near (Range: 500)
    -Execution Spirit: The tank refreshes all its active cooldowns by 15 seconds on each survivor executed.
    -Desperation: When the tank reaches 5000HP, it increases its normal damage to 300HP, incap damage to 2400HP
    hit interval to 0.1 and speed to 2.5. Additionally, the tank becomes immortal for 55 seconds. Once that time
    passes, the tank will explode (similar to bomb tank) and die. With the tank's death, any remaining infected
    will die as well and no more will come attack the survivors. The tank loses all his other abilities on this
    state.

    If you are unable to connect via the link above (The loading screen suddenly stops and gets you to the desktop) do the following:

    -Launch Left 4 Dead 2
    -Wait 20-30 seconds
    -If you know how to use the console, type "connect 192.95.55.222:27016". If you do not know, search for the server in your Steam Group servers (mgftw.com Halloween Event).

    This happens because you do not let the game load the addons before connecting.

    Guys,

    HC spend days to program and create this event and it's all costing us a lot of time and effort. It's really disappointing for us to see people bug use and try to use as many glitches as possible to win the event.

    If you play, play fair. If you think you can only win by using bugs/cheatis we will exempt you from playing the event and all other servers for as long as the event lasts.

    We can't have an admin on 24/7 so if you are playing and you see someone bug using, please report it to us!!

    You can mail ([email protected]), use the contact form, submit through abuse.mgftw.com or use the forum.

    Please don't make us shut this thing down.

    Thanks.

    For people that don't want to use Steam Workshop, here are the VPKs:

    EU Mirror: http://eu.mgftw.com/halloween_event.zip
    US Mirror: http://us.mgftw.com/halloween_event.zip

    Just throw them in your addons directory like with custom campaigns. This method will allow you to connect to the server without launching the game first. However, we cannot ensure these files are always the latest version of the mod.

    Use at your own risk :)

    Hi all,

    The popularity of our Halloween Event crushed our expectations. The server is so full all day long that some players are waiting for hours to join in on the fun.

    That's why we're introducing automatic kicks: You can try to beat the tank for 3 rounds. After that you will get kicked from the server. This will give other players a better chance to play as well.

    So if you get kicked, it's automated. Nothing personal!

    Thanks for reading!?
