So, I've had someone suggest to me that I talk about what Freak Fortress 2 is. Here's a short recap:
Freak Fortress 2 is a 1 (or 2) vs. Everyone Else arena mode.
Boss: The lucky (?) 1 or 2
- Each player starts with 0 boss queue points and gains 10 queue points per round they play (except when they play as the boss). The game selects the player(s) with the highest queue points to become a boss and sets their queue points to 0. As you may have guessed before, some bosses appear in pairs instead of just a single boss.
- Bosses don't get random crits.
- Bosses have many more hitpoints than usual, determined by the total number of players on the server.
- Bosses that appear in pairs tend to have 1/3 of the HP of the other bosses.
- More difficult bosses, such as Wheatley, have lower hitpoints.
- Bosses do 300% of normal damage with their melee weapons, one-shotting most classes.
- Bosses have one or more Rage attacks. Rage is built by taking damage.
- Most rage abilities can only be activated when the boss has 100% Rage. These usually include an ability that stuns nearby players and Engineer buildings. Other abilities vary from boss to boss... each boss has a different ability set.
- Almost all bosses also have a super jump or teleport to random player ability, activated by holding down the right mouse button and looking up and releasing the mouse button. Both jumping and teleporting have a cooldown. Teleporting will temporarily stun the boss.
- If a boss would normally die by falling off the map, they will not immediately die. Instead, they can use a more powerful version of their normal jump or use their teleport ability even though it's not yet recharged... be aware that using the teleport this way stuns the boss.
- Demopan has a Charge ability that uses the Reload button to activate. It uses 1% or less of his rage per charge, but it can be used repeatedly.
- Directions on how to play as a specific boss are given when you spawn as said boss.
Everyone else
There have been some changes to the regular player classes for balance reasons:
- Taunt to gain crits temporarily.
- Goomba Stomp the boss to deal 1000 damage.
- All ammo boxes are replaced with small ammo boxes.
- All Melee weapons except the knives mini-crit at all times.
- When there are only two non-boss players left, all weapons will mini-crit.
- When there is only one non-boss playes left, all weapons will crit. Additionally, if the boss(es) have more than 2000 HP left, a 2 minute timer will begin, ending the round in a stalemate if it runs out.
- Points are awarded for the amount of damage done to a boss. Medics are credited with all damage done by their healing targets.
- Scout:
- Pistols always have mini-crits.
- Crit-a-Cola grants crits instead of mini-crits.
- Fan o' War removes 5% rage on a boss per hit.
- Candy Cane drops a health pack each time you hit the boss with it.
- Soldier:
- Battalion's Backup charges from hitting the boss instead of from taking damage. When used, it causes all nearby players to take much less damage than usual.
- Half-Zoitichi heals 35HP on hit up to a 25 overheal. Can be sheathed after hitting a boss.
- Gunboats reduce fall damage.
- Mantreads makes rocket jumps larger.
- All Shotguns mini-crit mid-air bosses.
- Direct Hit crits whenever it would normally mini-crit.
- Reserve Shooter damage slightly increased.
- Pyro:
- Axtinguisher and Postal Pummeler act like a standard Fire Ax.
- Flare Gun and Detonator are replaced with the "Mega-Detonator" which acts like a Detonator with a larger explosion. This can be used to flare jump more easily.
- Airblasting a boss increases his rage and, if ubered, increases the amount of time the boss is ubered.
- Demoman:
- Half-Zoitichi heals 35HP on hit up to a 25 overheal. Can be sheathed after hitting a boss.
- Chargin' Targe and Splendid Screen will break if a boss hits you, blocking all damage but preventing you from charging for the rest of the round. Using a shield grants all your weapons critical hits.
- Eyelander (and its reskins) gain heads on hit instead of on kill.
- Heavy:
- Natascha, KGB, and Fists of Steel are replaced with the Minigun, GRU, and Fists respectively.
- GRU currently drains 7hp a second, but doesn't cause you to take mini-crits.
- The Holiday Punch will remove your stun if you punch a boss while in a stunned state.
- Engineer:
- Frontier Justice gains crits whenever your sentry is shooting a boss.
- Eureka Effect is replaced by the Wrench.
- Medic:
- Ubers last 50% longer than normal.
- Medics start with 40% Ubercharge and gain 35% ubercharge when their ubers end.
- All Mediguns are replaced with a Medigun that grants Uber and Kritz. This medigun also increases your speed while you're healing Scouts.
- All Syringe Gun add 5% Ubercharge on hit and have the Overdose's attribute of making you run faster the higher your Uber.
- The Crusader's Crossbow always crits and adds 10% Ubercharge on hit.
- Sniper:
- All weapons crits.
- Jarate lowers bosses rage by 8%, but doesn't have the usual effect otherwise.
- Razorback, Darwin's Danger Shield, and Cozy Camper are replaced with the SMG.
- Sniper Rifles cause the boss to have an outline for 5 seconds on hit.
- Spy:
- Backstabs do 10% of the boss's damage and prevent you from using a Dead Ringer for a few seconds.
- Cloak and Dagger is replaced with the Invisibility Watch
- All revolvers mini-crit.
- YER disguises you as a random ally.
- Kunai backstabs will overheal you.
