Itâs summertime! If you think that means visiting exotic islands and sipping dry martinis, youâre sorely mistaken: the only drink youâll be sipping is battery acid. Gray Gravel Co. has taken their robot menaces from the rainforests of New Mexico and shipped them to every corner of the earth to destroy our facilities.


Operation Voltaic Violence is a new Mann vs. Machine charity event brought to you by Moonlight MvM featuring 6 intermediate, 9 advanced, and 6 expert missions across 16 maps. Destroy the robots to earn up to 2 in-game medals! Event servers are available worldwide in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and South Africa.


If missing your federally-mandated vacation days doesnât sound appealing to you, you can also donate to The ALS Association to help fund research for treating and curing ALS. Donating $5 USD will net you an in-game donator medal! Click here for information on how to donate.


Interested in making your own custom MvM content? New submissions are already open for our next event! Check out our guides for content creation or join the Moonlight MvM Discord for more information. All contributors will earn a special in-game creator medal!


Have fun, but donât delay, as this tour will end in 2 weeks on June 12th, 2023!
