On December 3, Valve dropped the latest Team Fortress 2 (TF2) game update. This time around, the TF2 team gets into the holiday spirit by releasing the annual Smissmass holiday event. According to the official blog post, the Smissmass drops four new community-made maps, 20 new cosmetics, a new winter case, and more. Players who play TF2 during the event will be rewarded with a special “Stuffed Stocking” as a gift.
The Smissmass 2020 update is one of the earliest and largest winter holiday updates. This year’s update is particularly exciting because it’s the first time Valve has released winter-themed maps during Smissmass. Between this year’s successful Scream Fortress Halloween event and the major Smissmass update, TF2 fans are looking forward to the idea that additional seasonal events are in the works. For now, players can hop into the servers anytime between December 3 and January 7 to celebrate the holidays with their favorite mercenaries.
