Mission is ready to judge on the _judge.pop file
Known issues:
- The difficulty might be brutal for an advanced mission.
- Some of the bots doesn't have uber full effect on their model
- Wave 7 as an error is totally intentional design much like horrosome happenings

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: no strike

Team Lineup:

• Washy (Engineer)
  
• Bazooks (Demoman)
  
• Dr. Cactus (Spy)
  
• Scout (A+Drew)
  
• Package O' Lies (Soldier)
  
• Skin King (Pyro)

• Mission feels very spammy with how many commons and mini giants are active at times. This causes waves to feel "same-y", while also making it frustrating to play as spy (only silver lining being how effective spy is vs. mini giants)
  
• On the flipside, many of these mini giants are relatively non-threatening and easy to gun down anyway, like the bread-bite mini giants. They have very little pushing power compared to something like a steel gauntlet.
  
• "Joker" Final boss needs a rework. Uber canteens on a chief feels rather annoying to face, as it basically forces players to stop interacting with the boss due to something outside of the player's control.

• Wasp Mk2 - Overall might be better as a custom weapon than an upgrade (Although the weapon this is based upon has always been a bit boring)
  
• Missile Shot - Upgrade is in need of a rework. In it's current iteration, it feels more like a hinderance than a benefit. Between the slower firing rate, low clip size and near impossible rocket jumping, the 50% damage bonus just does not feel worth it.
  
• The Thermal Cannon - In it's current state, this upgrade is too powerful. A DPS upgrade that provides more value than reload, firing speed or damage.
  
• This, on top of the fact that exploding on surfaces (and an explosive radius bonusalso makes the grenade launcher much easier to use makes this upgrade an extremely powerful upgrade.
  
• Given how many hidden stats this weapon uses to make it work, this could also likely be turned into a custom weapon outright instead of just an additional upgrade for the grenade launcher
  
• Buckshot Grenade - Too weak to really justify. For an upgrade you need to pay for, this weapon reduces your overall DPS for a very small bonus in short term damage. This weapon currently has too many downsides to really consider taking in a serious environment
  
• The Bastion - Way too powerful. Between the +2 disposables, the building health, and increased support buildings this weapon is just way too powerful for it's own good. Even if the price were doubled, this upgrade would still be overpowered.
  
• +1 Extra Projectile Shot - Typo in the name "projcetile"
  
• Missle Shot and WASP mk 2 should not be obtainable together. Currently if you buy both, rockets are completely unuseable.

Updated the mission and can now be judged on the _judge.pop file.

• Many of the waves have been revised to be less spammy with their reduced spawncount and maxactive.
  
• Many of the custom upgrades have been replaced by Dr.Cactus' overclocks
  
• Wave 4: Blunderbuss Scout now have crits
  
• Wave 5: Replaced Moldy Bread Punchie to a Scatter Demoman
  
• Removed Uber Canteens of The Joker and made use 3 crit canteens maximum
  
• Added glow on Super scouts on wave 7

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: No Strike

Team Lineup:

• Mudun(Scout)
  
• DaMno(Heavy)
  
• Bogus(Soldier)
  
• Hell-met(Demoman)
  
• the fat(Engineer)
  
• MGEScout(Pyro)

• The Sentry Busters have a long InitialCooldown and CooldownTime.

• The first tanks although fast, they are very weak with combined health of 13500 and if there's a pyro on the team, he's gonna melt them very fast. I suggest making them more tanky.

• The middle of the wave feels very spammy. I suggest either making some bots slower to spawn or make minigiant demos not minigiants.

• Airblast Pyros have very annoying airblast as it's pushes the players far and has bigger airblast radius. I recommend removing those two attributes.
  
• The wave is weak compared to the rest. - Mudun

• The crits on enforcer are very frustrating as they deal full damage and can one shot light classes.

Updated the mission and can now be judged on the _judge.pop file.
Overclocks however are not updated and please do not give the feedback on the overclocks

• Wave 4: Buffed the first three tanks to 7.5k

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: no strike

Team Lineup:

• Dr. Cactus (Both Runs: Engineer)
  
• Braindawg (Run 1: Demoman, Run 2: Scout)
  
• Package O Lies (Run 1: Sniper, Run 2: Demoman)
  
• Washy (Run 1: Scout, Run 2L Soldier
  
• Cutea (Run 1: Medic, Run 2: Pyro)
  
• Quantum Apple (Run 1: Pyro)

• Waves appear to lack gatebots past the first few subwaves, every subwave beside the final one should have some form of gatebot.

• barely any killing power since 90% of the wave is comprised of weak giants, melee, and pyros, that along with the high dps requirement makes it very boring to fight.
  
• 2nd to last sub needs gatebots.

• make the grapids into gatebot bursts. The current rapids are a mild difficulty spike in comparison to the rest of the wave, making them bursts would be a sufficient nerf.
  
• add gatebots to 2nd sub

• The Giant KGB heavies would work better as gatebots, especially since said subwave doesn't have any at the moment.

• 1st sub is the same issue as w1, a lot of bots that barely do anything, making them a chore to chew through.
  
• 2nd to last sub needs gatebots.

Updated the mission. You know the deal is on the _judge.pop
