I know! Everyone notices it. They're like: "Hey, look at the Spy with the hat." or "Nice hat Anaron." It's nice to finally find a decent item. My friend who usually plays Spy is going to be so jealous. What's ironic is I found it while playing a Sniper. Yes, I know it has nothing to do with the items I find but it's still ironic. Especially since the theme of the this update is 'Spy vs. Sniper'. :p

I've played for about 8 hours and I've found another sandvich, 2 natascha's, The Sandman (woo!) and The Ambassador (What do I really want? Jarate and The Huntsman).

Last night on the server I was playing on, 3 people found hats (Fedora, Beanie and Mining Helmet), we had lots of time though, this is a screenshot of Pipeline after half an hour.

We eventually let them win, and then the server changed maps, never even getting to the second stage (the stage before the actual race).

So no uber pyro/heavy/demoman and medic pairs or spies tried rushing the sentries? :s

They were destroyed and rebuilt multiple times (both teams, they had a similar setup, me and a spy destroyed about 5-6 sentries)

But any rush lasted for a few seconds (I'm getting really good at taking down heavies as a pyro)

Thanks nightwolf!

Well if the perks are just based on play time / being in the game....lets say I started a server and just left it running all night with me in it...Would I technically wake up with new weapons, etc? :woot: (Flameshield: Enabled)

Probably, but I'm not too sure. It could be based on the number of players or your total playtime for the week. I played for another hour or so and I didn't get anything but I'm quite happy with the Jarate and Fancy Fedora (Spy hat).

You guys are lucky.....16 hour of play, 1 unlock which was just a crappy blutsauger.

Give it time. It's frustrating at first but you'll be happy with what you get later on. I'm sure you'll find one of the new items or perhaps even a hat.

Yeah but you think Valve would have programmed something in if you go over a certain time without an item out of just sheer pity.....

Hopefully they fix it next week and I can actually get the new unlocks and try to have fun as spy or sniper (both of which are some of my least played classes).

    • Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.
    • Yeah Patchou was an active member here, good ol' times indeed.
    • Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.
    • Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
