Knight

Knight

The Knight is an experimental boss from the original version of Mann vs. Machine, when it was known internally as "Raid mode".

The existence of this boss was first discovered in the form of filename strings found in some .lst files from before the May 13, 2013 Patch when all .lst files in the tf\reslists folder were deleted. These filename strings are for files related to a knight with a big sword and big shield.

It is assumed that these models were for this boss as they are only found listed in the .lst files.
