Q: What is this?
A: This is the recreation of VS Saxton Hale on VScript made by the original creator of VSH.
We're striving to submit it to Valve in hopes to be added to TF2 officially this Halloween.
Q: Why things look so rough around the edges?
A: We're very work-in-progress: we use placeholder assets and the mechanics are subject to change. Expect things to come together this summer, closer to Halloween.
Q: Where's Hale's Rage?
A: We're running an experiment of replacing Rage with a different kind of abilities.
Based on the feedback and observations, we might revert the ability changes.
Q: How do I leave feedback?
A: We're planning on making a system where you could leave feedback from in-game chat. Currently, the best place to leave feedback is our Discord: https://discord.gg/9h777Ts34r.
Q: Are there any other bosses planned?
A: No. Not planned. We don't think [REDACTED]gineer will fit Casual TF2.
Q: Who's the creator of VSH?
A: LizardOfOz, formerly known as DrEggman. Hi, it's also me who's typing this FAQ.
Q: Is there a queue to become Hale?
A: No. Hale is chosen at random independently from the previous rounds.
As much as we'd like to have a queue, Casual has no way of running one.
This might change in the future.
Q: Can I opt-out from playing Hale?
A: Not currently. You can killbind for now - a proper way of opting out will come in the future.
Q: Why has the voice of Hale been changed?
A: We couldn't obtain the permission to use the voice you hear in the VSH Plugin.
Credits for the new voice lines go to MegapiemanPHD.
Q: What weapons have been changed?
A: We want to have as little changes as possible, since it wouldn't work in Casual.
Weapon changes:
* Spy's Knives take away 6.66% Hale's Max HP, clamped between 500 and 5000 damage.
* All Melee Weapons except Knives and Holiday Punch have guaranteed crits.
Hale's Abilities:
* Double Jump - the good old Brave Jump, but without the awkward ducking.
* Charged Attack - Hale charges his punch and dashes forward, pushing everyone on his way aside.
* Ground Pound - Hale slams into the ground pushing everyone around him away.
* Saxton PUNCH! - Every 30 seconds Hale will perform a Crit Attack blasting everyone behind his target away.
Hale's Properties:
* Movement Speed: slightly faster than Medic.
* 195 Base Damage.
* Eyelander's Melee Range.
* Disciplinary Action's Melee Hitreg.
* Destroys Buildings in 1 hit.
* 25% Crit Resistance.
* 50% Minigun Resistance.
* 75% Sentry Resistance.
* x3 Capture Rate.
* Fall Damage Immunity.
* Hale's HP Formula: N*N*45 + 500, where N is the number of players. This is less than in the VSH Plugin to compensate for more powerful abilities.
