Description

Tutorial is the map used as the tutorial for the game. This map can only be accessed in two ways. First one is through an objective given to new players upon first joining the game. This objective can either be accepted or declined. The second is to use the Replay Tutorial button in the settings. This map does not grant any rewards unless it is played by accepting the objective.

This map has the Enemies Beta modifier, which changes the appearance of some enemies.

More bosses are approaching. Quick, click on my ability to use it.
8 Ouch, that hurts. 1x Lead Boss, 10x Lead
They're also bringing their boss variant?
Be quick! Upgrade your Minigunner to level 3 to quickly melt its lead armor.
File:AnimCommanderNeutral.gif They're also bringing a bunch of Lead minions. Upgrade the Demoman to clear them out. You really saw how weak it was last wave.
File:AnimCommanderNeutral.gif Done? Great. They're coming now.

Strategy

  • Because of how Tutorial works, simply following what the Commander says is the only way to triumph this map.
    • It is not possible to pick what towers are in your loadout, as they are replaced the moment the match starts. Additionally, all skins are replaced with the Default skin and golden perks are not applied.
