Being cloaked also doesn't put fire out, I know when I'm a pyro I shoot flares at everybody far away, and use my flamethrower on anybody close.

So, if a sniper hits a spy with an arrow, it shouldn't be hidden just to make it easier for the spy to score kills.

True, but spies are the hard counter to snipers, pyros are the hard counter to spies. It would give the snipers a huge advantage over spies that they don't currently have.

I'd say Monday, or possibly earlier.

When they're doing the reveal, it's only a few days away (and they said as much)

They still have 2 weapons to reveal (accounting for today and tomorrow) and I am betting they will use one of the days to announce the "content for all classes"....they stated if it wasnt finished before the sniper update than it would come along with the sniper update. And who knows, maybe a "Meet The ...." will appear on another one of the days.

The heavy had 6 revealed updates by the time it was released. The scout had 5 revealed updates with the 6th being release day (supposedly suppose to have been that map we saw on the Bonk! page). If they follow that, then the sniper will have 6 updates (1 for each weapon unlock with achievements thrown into one of them, the new maps, the content for all classes, a new Meet the Team video), chances are it will be out on Tuesday of next week, giving it the same reveal to release period as the scout update. (but they could always change this)

What is the whole hats thing about? Is that the content for all classes?

Awhile back they added a "Hat" slot to the unlock screen, it has since been confirmed hats will do nothing more but be a cosmetic change for your character. Considering all characters have the hat slot it is assumed (if its been confirmed I haven't seen it, so if it has please point it out) that hats are the content for all classes they were referring to.

I must say thats actually a very nice sidegrade to the SMG (assuming thats what its replacing). You get protection from 1 backstab (per life) for a tradeoff of reduced speed (snipers shouldnt be running around much anyway), and the loss of your mid-range weapon. Then again this could also replace the melee so it would be at the loss of your melee weapon instead.

And yes, it will **** off bad spies, but good/smart spies will just pull out their revolver and shoot the sniper at a bit of distance, possibly before they have time to even react.

It'll replace the SMG in my opinion due to two reasons:

Firstly, the Razorback's design is thus that the spy in question will have to be in close range to have landed the stab, at which point any good sniper would whip out his kukri to kill the spy. Seeing as most "pro" snipers tend to have Spy-ESP (+wallhug) anyway it wouldn't really make sense for it to replace the kukri, which would cripple the sniper at that vital range.

Secondly, all the melee replacement unlocks so far have also been melee weapons. Whereas the secondary unlocks have been items like the Sandvich and Bonk. It only seems logical for the Razorback to continue this tradition.

One thing that has gotten me curious is the background of the Day 3 page. We can see the PR gamemode's coloured innertrack and the overall theme seems like that of Pipeline, but the point has B above it. (Compare the scene to that of Day 2, you can see the ? holograms) So it brings me to the question, is Pipeline multistage like Goldrush?

So i don't know if anyone has noticed but it looks like the update has a date now. Next tuesday is when we can expect it. Hopefully the final 3 days of unveilings bring something good with them.

While I'll tend to agree with the Tuesday date, Valve still haven't confirmed it either way. Unless I'm missing some sort of covert announcement.

Additionally if the date is the 19th then that leaves only 2 days of updates (Monday and release day for a meet the team video maybe), since there are no updates on the weekend.

They don't really need to make a blog post about it. It says it right over on the right side nav.

As for how many days of stuff to show, i said 3 for if they'd actually give us something on tuesday and not do a lame "release day!" page again.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
