New soldier shotgun looks very interesting.

 

[MNC]

Market Gardener has got to be the best fucking weapon name ever.

Oh man, that Reserve Shooter sounds awesome. I don't know how many times I've popped Yeef up in the air and hit him with my shotty.

 

[Baha]

Also, it looks like the new Patton helmet for the Soldier gives him a dress shirt + tie under his jacket.

Yeah that's the standout weapon to me too. Will be nice against all those sticky jumper demomen that have been cropping up lately.

Those boots seem cool too, but I'm not sure how useful they'll actually be in practice.

 

[desh]

So, what is the riding crop, then?

 

[Yeef]

Melee weapon.

Need to see if any class gets no weapons, then put that classes head in the picture, with at "You Get NOTHING" in it.

 

[Baha]

Melee weapon.

Here's hoping it'll stack speed boosts among the allies you hit until Valve fixes it so it only boosts 1 team mate at any given time.

 

[DogWelder]

Eww, I don't like any of that.

Where's the other :U

I could see it being used on multiple people at the same time for a reason. Imagine how cool it would be for an entire team to line up to have their asses smacked by the soldier and rush into battle one after the other!

 

[Jzero]

Btw how big do you guys think this update is going to be ? Gygabytes? havent been around long enough to notice.

 

[DogWelder]

"Presenting not one, not three, but TWO Soldier class packs!"

Good point. It'll probably be like yesterday where the second page is hidden. I bet it's the dumpster pack.

 

[corn_fest]

Probably like 1 gb, yeah. Well, actually, maybe more than that. The Engie update was about 1gb iirc, so this might be quite a bit bigger.

 

[(._.)]

Wonder where the TRASH soldier pack went

I hope it does, it'll give soldiers something to do before the gates open on cp/pl/plr maps. Really need to see how much of a speed boost it gives to determine if it'll be worth using.

 

[cooljeanius]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegallagher!

Lol, I miss you guys, too. Darn parents not letting me stay up as late as I did while I was at college last semester...

 

[Yeef]

"Presenting not one, not three, but TWO Soldier class packs!"

Where's the other :U

They're both on the page. The first is the General's Formals: Hat (+misc tie?), Mantreads and Riding Crop

Second is Airborne Armaments with the other 3 air-based weapons and the goggle hat. Thought it was pretty obvious.

 

[DogWelder]

How does popping + new shotgun blast do compared to pop + rocket at feet? Someone do the math, I must know!

 

[Javaman]

Who has that "Good morning son" spray? that thing is disturbing ass hell.

The one with the legs in the air? That's borselino's work

 

[Baha]

Fuck...I want that hat now.

 

[Clydefrog]

Aww, I'll never guess the correct blog title

The shirt and tie! THE SHIRT AND TIE!

Btw, the modeler who made that new soldier Patton hat also made this:

I have a question, should I craft my three refined now or wait after the update?

 

[corn_fest]

There's no reason not to wait. The update is tomorrow. Also, then you have a chance at getting a low numbered hat.

 

[Oreoleo]

I have a question, should I craft my three refined now or wait after the update?

You should absolutely wait.

Even if you don't want any of the new hats, if it's one of the first 100 crafted it is numbered and will sell for lots of metal.

Okay. It stinks I only have three refined, which means I can't do a class specific craft, but whatever.

Well item drops reset tonight, so maybe you could get some more weapons to craft into a 4th refined before the update hits. I'm not sure if the math on weapons>refined metal would work out in your favor though

 

[Mr. Luchador]

What's the refining business?

I'm a TF2 ignorant.

2 weapons > 1 scrap metal
3 scrap > 1 reclaimed metal
3 reclaimed > 1 refined metal
3 refined = HATS!

Metal can also be used to craft most weapons, but, you know, HATS!

Well, I crafted just about all the dupes I had. So I'm SOL even with drops. But hey, it's worth to take a gamble! :lol

My eyes have been opened. My mind freed. I can craft my own hats?

TO HELL WITH THESE WEAPONS! Thank you sir, for freeing me from war.

Wait until tomorrow night to craft hats! With the new hats out then you might craft a special early numbered hat and hit the jackpot. If you can get one of those you'll be swimming in hats!

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

GOOD. Now where's mah Mario hat for the Soldier?

 

[Oreoleo]

If you can get one of those you'll be swimming in hats!

 

[Evlar]

No no. Mario for the Engie and Luigi for the Medic.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

So, who has an account on SPUF to demand a Mario hat?

I had a #1 hat and it was really hard to get people to actually make reasonable offers for it. I settled for

a single unusual hat

.
That said, I have 24 refined waiting...

you got a good deal, numbered hats shouldn't be worth an unusual

Just wondering, but what are vintage weapons good for? I don't play much, so I've just been trading em for 1 scrap each.. how badly am I being ripped off, and what are they worth?

Thanks!

"Presenting not one, not three, but TWO Soldier class packs!"

Where's the other :U

Watch the "THREE" turn into a hidden link for the junkyard Soldier pack. Just watch.

It looks like most are worth 1 or 2 scrap, with some newer not-supposed-to-be-vintage vintage weapons going for a bit more.

That's a great list that gives the relative value of basically every weapon/hat in the game
