Powerlord Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 a silent minigun that revs up fasterI fucking hate valve. Spinup is silent, shooting presumably isn't. I'm surprised Valve made a new revolver that makes you take longer to cloak. It's a straight upgrade for the Revolver for Dead Ringer spies, as the DR is unaffected by that.

Cinderwild Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Dead Ringer revolver spy is a common play style isn't it? Maybe that's what they intended it for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Dead Ringer revolver spy is a common play style isn't it? Maybe that's what they intended it for. I tend to use the DR with L'Etranger or Ambassador. However, given that I tend to miss the head with the Ambassador, I'd likely swap to using the Enforcer with it instead.

Top Gun Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Yeah, I was warning everyone who was listening to hold on to one of each weapon because the only other time Valve has done double drop rate is when there are a lot of things required for crafting.Specifically, they did double drop rate during the Golden Wrench thing. I did save quite a bit, but I finally crafted some of it into metal the other night, since I was in the middle of rearranging my backpack, and things were getting cluttered. Silly me, I saved all the Medic stuff because I thought that's all we'd be getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant using the primary firearm in general was a more common sight with Dead Ringer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I don't recall seeing Spy or Heavy stuff in the TF2 Beta, so today's new equipment is kind of a surprise. The ones currently in testing are Soldier (6), Sniper (1), Medic (3), and Pyro (1). Edit: Wait, my bad, I actually meant the translation stuff that was leaked a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Gun Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Re: TF2 going F2PRe: SHOULD'VE SAVED THEM ITEMS Meh, you're probably gonna need metal anyway... Yeah, I was thinking that too...though I just traded two Refined for a hat, so I guess I screwed the pooch there too. Anyway, we aren't guaranteed to get unique recipes for all of the new items right away, and most people will probably be willing to trade duplicate copies once everything starts dropping.

Powerlord Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Day 2, Timbuk Tuesday has been posted, with a host of new items for Sniper and Demoman. I'll post the stats shortly. Sniper Name: The Bazaar Bargain Slot: Primary Type: Sniper Rifle Each consecutive headshot gives +10 charge per second A body shot reduces the bonus A missed shot clears the bonus Name: The Shahanshah Slot: Melee Type: Sword +25% increase in damage when health is less than 50% of max -25% decrease in damage when health is more than 50% of max Demoman Name: The Splendid Screen Slot: Primary (Secondary) Type: Shield +25% fire resistance on wearer +20% explosive damage resistance on wearer Can deal charge impact damage at any range +70% increase in charge impact damage Name: The Persian Persuader Slot: Melee Type: Sword +100% increase in charge recharge rate All ammo collected becomes health Ali Baba's Wee Booties Slot: Secondary (Primary) Type: Shoes +25% max health on wearer +100% turning control while charging So, yes, it is now possible to have a Demoman with no explosives. Also, where's the Sniper's third item...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Chocobo Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 So the Demo's items are basically "let's give him only buffs and make him ridiculous in melee range". Great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerlord Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 So the Demo's items are basically "let's give him only buffs and make him ridiculous in melee range". Great. Not really, the shoes take away the Grenade Launcher, the shield takes away the Sticky Launcher, and the ammo thing can hurt if you have anything but a shield equipped as you can no longer gain ammo from ammo boxes.

Taking away all ranged weapons is itself a downside, in case you hadn't noticed. DarkChocobo said it gave him only buffs and this clearly isn't the case.

DarkChocobo said it gave him only buffs and this clearly isn't the case. True, but he'll also be able to charge a lot more, and cover more ground, as well as being flame and rocket resistant. Must be job for boolet then. I also think the name of the demo's update is pretty true. 1001 demoknights, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, those two items are more overpowered with the Targe... the Targe has higher resistances and even with a 70% charge damage boost, the charge damage is still less than melee crits.

Native Jovian Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Holy crap, every demoknight worldwide just creamed their pants simultaneously. It's probably a good thing that I'm not going to be able to play TF2 for like three weeks after this update. Edit -- also, sniper only gets two items because Valve hates sniper.
