To reward successful hunters, members of the BLU team who score a kill or kill assist are restored to full health and granted a small speed boost for as long as they keep their current weapon out. This is intended to give players a reason to focus on suspicious props rather than shooting everything in sight.

Also, Pyros are granted the ability to 'fly' by firing their flamethrowers in midair as a means of increasing vertical mobility to combat the Scout's Double Jump.įiring a weapon or swinging a melee weapon will cause members of the BLU team to slightly damage themselves. Fire effects are visible on props, making them easy to track after they are found. Pyro is the default class, and consequently the most widely used. The BLU team has access to all classes except for the Spy and Medic with the Solemn Vow (due to their ability to see enemy stats). In addition, the RED team is unable to drown, which enables them to hide underwater. Prior to PropHunt Redux, passive item effects, like the Sandman's health penalty, influenced the player as normal. They are not able to make use of their weapons unless they are the last player on their team. Players on the RED team are forced to play as Scouts and are randomly assigned the appearance of a map prop at the start of each round. Respawns are not permitted until the end of each round.

At the end of each round the teams are swapped the 'Hunters' (BLU) become the 'Hunted' (RED) and vice versa. Players on the RED team, disguised as 'props', are given a 30 second set up time to hide, and afterwards players on the BLU team attempt to find and kill them in the allotted time period. PropHunt plays much like a cross between the standard Arena Mode and the game 'Hide and Seek'.
