Fun fact: way before the MVM update,there are a lot of Easter eggs about MVM mode,like in some trailer,there is a hidden room where spy is watching the robots picture
Mann Vs Machine is a PVE mode where players go against robot versions of themselves. These robots run on money and as you kill them you can collect the money and use it at upgrade stores I suggest you read comics to find out the back story of who made the machines
4:23 its the forgotten Brother From the Blutarch and redmond's family, his name is graymann (yk cuz metal), and he wanna Revenge for Being Forgotten and Outcasted btw he didnt got Much from his father money cuz the most went to blutarch and redmond
TF2 Lore: Before MvM, territories in Gravel Pit (I think) were under contest between two brothers: Blutarch and Redmond Mann. Both ended up hiring mercenaries to fight each other for the land (hence Blu vs. Red). However , they had a third brother, Gray Mann, who also wanted this territory, but didn’t feel like hiring mercenaries to fight it out. Instead, he murdered both of his brothers in cold blood and tried to take over Mann Co. When this didn’t work, he sent out robots to destroy the remaining mercenaries.
There's a crapton of Lore in TF2 and 90% of it is ludicrous. but I think my favorite lil tidbit is that there is an unlockable reskin for the Sapper item for the spy which is basicly Wheatly from Portal 2. In the description of the item it states that Mann Co got the item from some "shady laundry machine salseman", which is what Aperture Science from Portal used to be before coming a research faucility. And at the end of Half-Life 2 Episode 2 you see that Freeman and the Resistance have to go to this ship called the Borealis, which is a ship from the Portal games that went missing when it tested out some experimental teleportation tech. So what I'm saying is that yes, TF2 and Half-Life, one of the greatest FPS games of all time, are in the same universe. Rocket-Jumping Abraham Lincon and the G-Man are in the same universe. it's so dumb, I love it.
Yeah this is what overwatch PVE promised more or less, the prospect of upgrading abilities and changing their abilities except in tf2 it's the ability to upgrade your load out and your class stats and abilities since thats the difference between OW2 it's not hero based it's class based load out mix and match, you could turn the scout into a high dps class, turn the medic into a defense and healing support, turn soldier into an air support quite literally with the air strike, point is the possibilities are endless with the way how weapons and class stats work in tf2 PVE, if they added even more weapons there would also be more upgrade possibilities which hopefully they do since the devs are finally paying attention to the game
The skill talent tree for Overwatch 2 PvE could've unlocked so many possibilities. I was hoping for a PvPvE mode where you could use those abilities or even a PvP mode where you level up a character and use those talent trees but nope. Hopefully MvM scratches that itch
I’m going full tf2 nerd rn. Okay so, there are 2 MANN brothers, Redmond and Blutarch. When they were born, there was a third brother who was extremely intelligent, but was kidnapped by eagles at birth. Many, many years later he returns and kills both his brothers. He then sends his robot army after the mercenaries to claim MANNCO as his own company. That’s the basic rundown of the MVM lore, there is a lot more.
@@Mans2Lit On the TF2 webiste you have a whole TF2 comic series with the crazy backstory you can read for free. It also explains the story behind different gamemodes like MvM and halloween bossfights.
So, general breakdown in mvm There’s boot camp at all times, and the community, specifically potato tf, sometimes will put together charity events involving Mann vs machine community tours. Scout - the main money collector. As robots die, they drop credits. The credits can be used between robot waves to upgrade your character or weapons. Faster reloads, damage resistance, firing speed buffs, that kind of stuff. He excels at this cause he both has a wider radius to grab money, and heals from picking it up, even gaining bonus health doing so. He also tends to be support, marking key targets for death, Soldier - support dps. He won’t be doing heavy amounts of damage in any specific scenario, but he is once again the Jack of all trades character. Essentially you want him hanging by the frontline dps to use his banners and stun fast targets, or supporting tank busting Pyro - tank buster. Not incredible in most fields, given he ends up feeling squishy, but can most often solo the tank or get it with minimal support. In mannup and boot camp he can also handle medic busting, or killing robot medics before they can activate Uber Demoman - medic buster, giant buster. Demoman can be a hell of a burst damage dealer. His setup and the predictable path of robots means he can easily set up kills. He should prioritize killing medics Heavy - giant busting, frontline dps. A behemoth even here amongst giant robots. He should be near the front line if not on it, pouring lead into the enemy forces Engineer - back line dps, support. Engineer excels at providing a lot of support. His dispenser helping ensure teammates can keep firing, teleporters keep getting them to the front, and sentries provide coverage to traverse that last bit to the front Medic - support, healer. Medic has various options to keep his team tip top. Projectile shield blocks most incoming fire, revivals to bring back fallen players, and Ubers to boost their effectiveness. Sniper - burst dps, medic pick. Sniper gets a very powerful upgrade, explosive headshot, which damages any other robot in close proximity to the target. This makes them ideal at deleting robot medics. Though it’s also great crowd control Spy - giant dps, disruptor. Spy is not very good, early in a mission. However, once sufficient upgrades are bought, he is an absolute monster of a giant killer, thanks to how the backstab mechanic works.
Funny enough the one in charge of the robots is a third brother who was kidnapped by an eagle, Grey Mann. The robots are powered by burning money since in lore to him it's cheaper than finding fuel
its $0.99 per ticket and depending on which tour u run it can run from 3$ for the expert tour to 6$ for the lowest difficulty tour. 4$ for the most played and profitable tour.
@@Mans2Lit no each tour is comprised of missions each mission costs a ticket IF YOU COMPLETE IT and the number of missions varies based on difficulty like the easiest tour has 6 missions the hardest 3 missions.
Also the reward drops are random each mission has a few drops to reward u for playing but completing tours nets you even better rewards. The most played tour is also where players make the most profit. 2 cities (2 missions in 2 maps) upon completing a tour you typically get kill streak kits and depending on which type you get it can make you a few cents to like 15$ but there are professional kill streak kits that sell for even more and like a 1% for that elusive gold that australiums
I guess it is the PvE mode that Overwatch sadly will never get. Bossfights and nice rewards, chaos and large groups of enemies and also if you like goldy stuff =)
MvM is free. If you buy tickets you will receive rewards, the gameplay is the same as without a ticket. The rewards are cosmetics and "botkiller" and "australium" guns. Those are variations of the standard/free guns which work the same, but look different cosmetically and count / track how many players you have killed. You also have a chance to get the golden pan which is worth thousands of dollars (ticket required).
Boot camp is the free version of mvm without rewards. With rewards it depends on the tours which depends on how many tickets u need. idk what it cost for u per ticket but for me its 0.75. Theres a couple tours u need 6 for (nobody plays them), the one the most people play being 2cities which is 4 tickets and then theres 2 more which only need 3. all the tours per ticket just give u a weapon with at the end getting a bot killer weapon (a stock item with a robot head on it) which a rare chance of getting an australium weapon (gold weapon). However 2cities is different. each ticket gives you robot parts (6 minimum) and when u finish a tour you get a killstreak kit a specialized killstreak fabricator if your lucky for a 3rd slot either an australium or a professional killstreak and if its 4 its all 4. killstreaks just count your kills. spec ones have a shine on your gun and pref ones have an effect on the characters eyes after a certain amount of kills.
If you want to get a real taste on how built different (and downright terrifying) the TF2 community can be, look no further than Emesis Blue.

A tour is (depending on the tour) 3 to 6 Missions long. Then there is a ticket that you can use in order to give everyone on your team (cant remember if only in Man Up mode or in both Bootcamp and Man Up) a reward after completing a Mission, but as far as i remember these arent worth getting because the rewards are bad. At the end of a Man Up Tour you get rewards based on the Tour you played (to keep it simple).
@@Mans2Lit Yes. But you only get the good rewards after you completed a Tour. The thing is, that some rewards have a Droprate. For example the Auatralium Weapons (golden) are completely luck based.

And a little lore behind that (If you want more insights you should watch tf2 comics, there are fully voiced videos I think on Shork's channel, not quite sure) Mann co. (led by Saxton Hale) exists One day Gray Mann (an ugly brother of Redtarch and Blutarch men, the ones that own the mercenaries and fight over (presumably) gravel, using their mercenaries) wants to own Mann co. He challenges Saxton Hale to a duel, Saxton at first is eager to punch Gray in the face, but as it turned out, Graymann actually presents his daughter vs saxton hale And Saxton being the manly Australian gigachad does not hit the little girl, losing mann co.

MannCo. is a shipping company that supplies Mercs The lore also consists of Giant Haunted Eyes, Wizards, Headless Horseless Horsemen, and so on and so forth
If you look at the table where BLU Soldier and Demo were playing, if you zoom in, you can see the picture of RED Spy and Scouts mom from meet the Spy. Also, at the end of the second MvM video, Heavy has a golden mini-gun.
Man Vs Machine is free to play, no need to pay for a ticket. The ticket is for when you play for rare and expensive items. Man Vs Machine is so much fun, especially if you get a group of friends and coordinate with each other. But it's just as fun if you manage to win with a group of randos 😂.
I'll be honest, mvm is a really good mode, especially with the company, kmkmkm (compare to overwatch you'll see a lot of really suspiciously similar things, yes-yes Invasion update am ebout you)
You dont need a ticket to play it, only if you want to get rewards that can range from a few cents to 5000 $, and you cqn sell these items for real cash. Obviously th3 chances are low,its pretty much gambling but you dont need a ticket to play mvm itself.
There is a boot camp mode, where you don’t have to pay, but you won’t get rewards.

There’s the boot camp which is free then there’s the payed one u can try the boot camp one to see if you like it
I'll be honest, mvm is a really good mode, especially with the company, kmkmkm (compare to overwatch you'll see a lot of really suspiciously similar things, yes-yes Invasion update am ebout you)
The reason people are play M vs M because of Golden Frying Pan. It’s very valuable.
Somebody mentioned this and it made me want to hunt for it myself. I wanted to start the reward hunt soon
That person that suggest video probably meant if you can watch Overwatch vs tf 2 number 2 (there are 2 diferent videos)
Oh yeah! I forgot about that. I'll have to watch the second one as well
Well, you can try a mvm community server to see if you like the mode
Nice, I think I'll try out a community server first before I buy a ticket
Man vs machines is amazing
It is so worth it. Grab some buds, and shoot some clankas. Now watch Emisis Blue. :)
you should try boot camp, its under the mvm menu, its free just no rewards
MvM is a wave defender
Redmond and bluemonds brother grey built the machines
You dont need a ticket to play it, only if you want to get rewards that can range from a few cents to 5000 $, and you cqn sell these items for real cash.
Obviously th3 chances are low,its pretty much gambling but you dont need a ticket to play mvm itself.
there is free version called bootcamp
we will always welcome overwatch refugees
xD
It’s 1000 times better than overwatch is
Nice!
MVM is great ngl
MvM is a lot of fun I probably play it more then regular servers
