Listen up mercs, it is once again the end of the year and you all know what that means, don't you? Put your hand down Scout, it does not mean you can try to score a date at the mall while dressed as an elf again. It means that you have once again been enlisted to fight off hordes of angry shoppers, falling trees, and most importantly, robots! And you had better believe those trees will not be on our side, despite that holiday everyone celebrates right about now. Now pack your guns, because your tour of duty has BEGUN!

Operation Binary Blackout is a holiday Mann vs. Machine charity event brought to you by Moonlight MvM featuring 7 intermediate missions and 13 advanced missions. Defeat the hordes of robots in this community tour and earn up to 3 in-game medals! Event servers are available worldwide in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

If fighting off robots isn't enough for you, there is also a charity drive for Child's Play aimed at benefiting the lives of children at hospitals around the world. Cash or item donations of at least $5 USD will earn an in-game donor medal! Click here for information on how to donate!

Interested in creating content for future MvM events? New MvM submissions are now being accepted for the next event! Check out the links below for more information or join the Moonlight MvM Discord to participate in the development process. All contributors will earn a special in-game content creator medal!

Have fun, but don’t delay, because the event will end on March 30, 2022!
