Team Fortress 2's Operation Mooncrash takes the fight to the Moon

RED and BLU are heading to the final frontier. Community group TF2 Painter's Workshop has announced Operation Mooncrash, a TF2 community project built to revive and expand the Moon Base theme. The project will consider cosmetics, war paints, maps, weapons, weapon unusuals, map assets, and more for inclusion in a final community collection. The announcement was published August 6, 2026.

Creators can enter both Standard and Limited Skins/UV/Dragon Slayer war paint categories.

Asset categories span posters, world textures, gameplay assets, environment assets, and detail props, with five subcategories and five initial prize placements.

Creators can still see their war paint or map asset included in the final community collection even if they've already hit the maximum contest entries.

Participation runs through the TF2 Painter's Workshop Discord server.
