I got Jarate last night!

Changed to sniper because I was just messing around and being useless, zoomed in, saw a guy and pressed the fire button, then my PC locked up for a few seconds. When it unfroze I was dead (pyro got me), but I ended up dominating the guy, which got me enough achievements for Milestone 2.

So right now I have:

- Cloak and Dagger

- 2 Ambassadors

- 3 Axtinguishers

- 2 Backburners

- KGB

- Sandvich

- Ubersaw

- Blutsauger

- 3 Jarates

- Flare gun

- Razorback

- 2 Huntsmen

- Natascha

- Kritskrieg

Missing: all of the Scout unlockables :hmmm:

I have every unlockable in varying amounts (1, 2, 3, etc). What I don't have are the hats, except for the Fancy Fedora. Anyone else have hats? I'd love to have the Sniper hat. I might even be willing to trade my Spy hat for one. Speaking of trading, Valve is taking awhile with that trading system.

You guys who have hats are seriously lucky. You have about 0.44% chance of getting a hat drop, in theory I could get 220 drops and get 1 hat (of course since it's all chance it could be much more or 0). I haven't got one yet anyway.

So i would advise against trading a hat for weapons since weapon drops are so much more common than hats.

These were collected over a day tracking about 2000 idlers drops, so it might turn out that hat drops are 0.5%, but it doesn't make much of a difference :p

I didn't do this by the way.

I guess these were collected off of the SpA servers? :) Looking at the percentages, they're pretty much equal, so at least Valve were speaking the truth when they said it was random :p I think I've had maybe 40 drops in total, I'll maybe luck out and get a hat soon!

@Minimoose: When I said "a few" I was thinking along the lines of "around 10" :p Pretty much, all the unlocks I don't have at that point (right now, I don't have: Ambassador, any Sniper, any Scout, KGB, Backburner, Axtinguisher).

For me, the Fro is useless as I never play Demoman :)

I've got over 300 hours poured into him.
*blink blink* 300.... 300?!?!? That's 10 TIMES more than I have played the engineer in TF2 and he's my favorite class!

This is madness.

(:

Nope, someone made an idling application where you can have 10000 people on one server, he recorded all of the data off there over 1 day.

Here's what I can spare at the moment:

  • Ambassador
  • Huntsman
  • Jarate
  • Razorback
  • Force-A-Nature
  • Bonk! Atomic Punch
  • Killing Gloves of Boxing
  • Backburner
  • Axtinguisher

That's about 9 items. Is it a deal? :D

Anyway, those item drop percentages are quite daunting. I knew the hats were rare but not that rare. I guess I had a couple of rabbit's feet on me when I found the Fancy Fedora.

Aye, you have yourself a deal there :) When the trade system comes out, I'll hit you up with a trade :) If I get any of those unlocks between now and then, no worries (unless I get like, all but the Axtinguisher or something :p)

Cool. Valve is certainly taking their time with the trade system. I'm beginning to lose patience, haha.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone.

Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
