He also happens to be a hulking beast of a man with a mustache to suit. With the release of a new fan-made mode into the TF2 casual playlists, it is now possible to play as this giant of industry. It is up to Saxton Hale to singlehandedly destroy the entire opposition using only his mighty fists. The game mode has been released into casual servers, and players can play as Saxton Hale in TF2.
How to play as Saxton Hale in TF2
The premise is simple: be Saxton Hale, or don’t be Saxton Hale. If you are Saxton Hale, you must pulverize the other 23 players with your bare hands and feats of super strength. If you are not Saxton Hale, you must kill him. One player gets to be the chosen one and deliver fists of fury to his enemies. There are many moves that Saxton Hale can play with, including huge leaps and flurries of punches. He’s no easy foe to defeat.

To play as Saxton Hale in TF2, you must be the lucky one chosen from the lineup when you queue for the game. The game, after 13 years of development by the LizardOfOz, has finally come to the casual TF2 playlist queue. To find a Vs. Saxton Hale game, simply go to the casual playlist and choose one of the VSH playlists.
Once you are dropped into a game, a random person will be selected to play as Saxton Hale. There is no way to guarantee being chosen to play as the monstrous man himself, so if you want a go being the beast, then you’ll simply have to play a lot of TF2. So, there is a 1 in 24 chance of being chosen.
