i meant to say stranges, I always mix up the two classifications somehow...AcciDante said:Only giving away the stranges
So what's your reason?

That sniper rifle is insane. Really nothing else to say about it.
Soka said:
Yeah. I don't know if it is actually better than the OG sniper, or if it's the tracer helping me place my shots better, or just a placebo effect but I seemed to be doing pretty well with it tonight. Hopefully they nerf it so I can get a strange sniper rifle and use that without feeling like I'm holding myself back
Got home, just heard about the update, glad I didn't get many drops last night. Will be on tomorrow. I want that Engy shotgun *drool*....
Edit: Then I read about the defense shield. I'm assuming it'll be like timing an airblast, but instead of reflecting you'll have your sentry (or just the rest of your team) firing with impunity. Gives Gunslinger Engy a very good way to push with his team at times when 150 health won't be safe enough. I CAN'T CHOOSE!

cool. If I'm eligible, please let my alt know what day you'll be doing this k.AcciDante said:
I updated hlstats with all the new weapons.
Diamondback is interesting to me. It's a nice foil to the frontier justice. Spy saps engie nest, both get crits. Showdown.
Did some tests. Just like the justice, the Diamondback maxes out at 35 crits stored.
[EDIT] I'm disappointed that there's no strange blutsauger. I was planning on getting one for Javaman.

I got a double body shot (almost triple if the guy had like one less health, he immediately got killed by a sentry after I shot him). The damage on the new gun seems pretty wonky. Sometimes I noticed that it would do 43 damage, and the default sniper rifle never hits for that weak. Also on full charge, it ranged from 150 to over 175 for a bodyshot. Hitting a heavy for 518 damage is awesome though, if unnecessary.
It sounds like you're playing on a server with damage spread.0 It's disabled on the GAF server. Non-crits will can do 15% more or less damage than normal when it's enabled. So a non-charged body shot with the new rifle can do anywhere from 45 to 57 damage. A fully charged body shot would do anywhere from 146 to 198 damage.Forkball said:
As for 518 damage, it means you can 1-shot a fists of steel heavy as long as they're not overhealed. I still say they need to make the fists reduction not apply to crits.

All the new items drop as normal, or must they be crafted?

I want to practice some certain situations.
Is there a way I can load up an empty map, place some stuff down, like a sentry/dispencer and some bots?

Holy crap is a double headshot so satisfying! My new favorite weapon! http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/541776979668794541/B516950BF4DFB73FC6B5F573E3C63D965BCE31F5/ You can see the icon in my picture.

Deeply disappointed by the Engi weapons.
The new sniper rifle is fun on the bun.

I don't even understand how I'm supposed to use the new Engie zapper thing. I've managed to get one kill with it.
The new shotgun seems like it'd have its uses, I don't think I'll switch from Frontier Justice though.

I'm talking about the new electric pistol replacement that removes projectiles and stickies... Are we talking about the same thing? If so, no, it's just a gun and does not melee.derFeef said:
It's not meant to be used offensively. It's to save your ass from demomen who are spamming your nest with stickies and such. It completely removes them, keeping your things safe.butter_stick said:

Your doing it wrong, you shoot projectiles like rockets, grenades, sticky bombs, etc to protect your equipment. Hes a 1 man army now.butter_stick said:

Yeah, I can see the use of that for sure. I'll try it out.

No!Forkball said:
I love it.
and the tracer just lets people know exactly where the shot came from.
From the description the eng electro thing sounds over powered. So an eng can now single handedly stop an uberdemo?
Thanks for the strange bluts offer Yeef and Accidente! Maybe they'll offer it in a future crate. Have they had any 2nd sets of strange weapons for any classes yet?
I mentioned this the other night on the server but here's a couple of things valve should do to make the quickfix suck less...
1. Let you heal yourself when activated with no target.
2. Don't drop the speed bonus when activated.
3. Treat crit damage as regular when activated.
4. Allow 20% overheal
The first seem more like bugs/oversights to me and I think at least those should be fixed

Well, each shot takes 35 metal and the range on it is about the same as the flamethrower, but yes, provided quick thinking and a dispenser an engineer can stop a demo from destroying his buildings. just more reason to uber pyros.Javaman said:
It's actaully decently useful for protecting the cart if you're of BLU on a payload map. You can just shutdown the spam.
Nope.
The bolded is most certainly a bug. The quick fix is also bugged so that speed bonuses aren't taken into account. Meaning a demo with heads, a gas jockey pyro, a whipped player and any other faster-than-medic class (other than a scout) doesn't boost your speed.
I don't think it should be given any overheal normally, but allowing full overheal during the MegaHeal would be great. It also needs to not drain the extra uber when you hit multiple targets quickly during megaheal.
Download tr_walkway.MarkMclovin said:
Once you have it downloaded, just type "map tr_walkway_rc2" into console.
Is there something I'm missing about damage, or are you talking about homewrecker pyros?Yeef said:
Once upon a time you could circle strafe level 3 sentries to kill them, but nowadays doesn't it take 2-3 seconds just to destroy a dispenser or teleporter with concentrated flamethrower fire on it? I feel like flames take FOREVER to destroy buildings.
Of the four new weapons, on the Machina seems viable. The Diamondback is more or less an even more situational version of the Ambassador, and both Engineer weapons have metal costs far to high to be viable.
The "Whops, missed 3 shots, now out of ammo!" shotgun, and the "Oops, I destroyed my own teams Projectiles" electric gun thingy.
My Guess of changes:
Machina: Will do less damage when not fully charged, tracer round will last longer
Diamondback: Slight buff to damage
Engineer weapons: Lower Metal Cost.
