[VScript] VSH Ravine

This is vsh_ravine - a Versus Saxton Hale remix of a forgotten Valve arena map.
IMPORTANT: To play the map after subscribing, type "map workshop/3011267033" in console.

Seeing the VSH version of Nucleus inspired me to do an alternate version of another arena map - Ravine. Keep in mind that I didn't just port the map to the new gamemode, I also expanded some places, gave access to some previously out of bounds areas and added health and ammo packs.

Since the gamemode became official not too long ago, I will teach you the basics:
Red team is fighting against Saxton Hale - a buff ex-CEO of Mann Co. He has incredibly high health, mobility and damage. His fist can oneshot 7 out of the 9 classes, but he does not have any ranged weapons, forcing Saxton to be close and personal. You cannot respawn in this mode.

Saxton Hale abilities:
Brave jump - super powerful double jump
Mighty slam - by crouching mid-air, Saxton can perform a powerful weightdown, knocking people away and dealing damage
Charge attack - upon pressing R, Saxton will freeze in the air, releasing the button propells him forward
Saxton PUNCH! - once in 30 seconds Hale's punch performs a powerful AoE attack
Stomp - landing on someone's head does extra damage

Mercenaries abilities:
Wall climb - melee hit a wall to climb it
Melee crits - guaranteed critical hits on melee weapons (except for spy's knives)
Last mann standing - 3 remaining survivors get minicrits

- play as Saxton Hale
- expanded playable space, less invisible walls
- previously out of bounds areas are now accessible
- better optimization
- VScript support - no plugins required!

The thumbnail of this submission, although funny, was not approved by the VSH gamemode crew despite being similar to other VSH map thumbnails. So blame the creator of the thumbnail (dabmasterars) and not other team members.
