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!
