official Team Fortress 2

It's impossible to obtain as it requires Engineer weapons, of which there are none at the moment.

[Denis W. Veteran]

Rough guess, but:

If you use that custom config to get the wrench on certain servers, does that show up in your backpack? If so, you can probably use that to create the Engineer token. :| Then after grabbing the token you can revert to your old config.

I'm assuming it doesn't or we would've had 100 wrenches by now.

How do you craft the golden wrench without engineer weapons? I bet that every time you craft something you will have a chance at getting it.

[DrCheese]

How pointless. Why can't they just get on to the actual content of the update instead of messing around with this? The real content is months overdue.

eh, it gives them a few weeks free advertising rather than just one article, it's a no brainer. These updates are more about marketing the game than anything

Get a Pen and Paper and write down the IP's. Or just put them in a .txt file.

I was more so referring to this '100 golden wrenches' thing than i was the typical 'spend a week showing items and maps one day at a time'.

I've been looking at the timing of the golden wrench drops, and it looks like they happen every 45-75 minutes, just like the normal drops, except one person across all servers gets it. So, if you want to increase your chances of getting it you should probably wait till 45minutes or so after a wrench drop then start crafting, since it's only given out after a craft. But honestly, even if it slightly increases your chances it's pretty much still impossible to find one.

Started playing again after the Neowin server went up, last time i played was week after release of TF2, and just got my Bow drop, i was happy

Also I asked for the "Knocked Out Of The Basket" achievement to be created for killing me on the server, lol

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Damn, and I thought the medal was limited. I don't have any items to craft so there's no chance at all I'll get it.

Okay, so I found a site that claims you can craft the Golden Wrench. Here's the recipe: Class Token (Engineer) + Slot Token (Melee) + Scrap Metal = Golden Wrench

My problem is that there doesn't seem to be a way to create an Engineer Class Token. Anyone know how?

That was a glitch that's been fixed, and you needed to craft 3 hats together to make the class token.

[Hurmoth]

I was just playing and two more Golden Wrenches dropped within minutes of each other. I mean like no more than 15 to 20 minutes went by.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I'm feeling pretty lucky today. I hope I find a golden wrench!

[spy beef]

1 more golden wrench drop till the next engy update info!

[CentralDogma]

Just a tip if you?re on the hunt for the wrench:

Class token + item = class token

It's a quick way to get a bunch of crafts, but the downside is, you end up with a single token when you?re finished, but it you crafted metal, you'd be closer to getting a hat.

Some blueprint has "IT'LL (?) NEVER WORK" scribbled over it.

The next weapon is: The Wrangler! Does this mean demomen can't just uber and mindlessly destroy sentries?

[Mathachew Veteran]

35 achievements, without descriptions (for now): http://www.teamfortress.com/engineerupdate/achievements/

[Denis W. Veteran]

Interesting. I can see engineers building sentries on 2fort battlements, and using the wrangler to point their sentries at the enemy battlements to constantly harass the opposing snipers.

I guess it's a clever but tricky way to bypass the range limitation on auto-firing sentries.

By the way, I hope the golden wrench isn't the third unlockable -_-

[Minifig]

Holy crap.. me want the wrangler. That's AWESOME!

[Denis W. Veteran]

Also, two of the achievements mention the honky tonk. Is that the replacement melee weapon :rofl:

(this isn't Left 4 Dead 2 Valve!)

[Minifig]

Do I sense a guitar melee?!

OH HELL YES!

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

Any other OSX players notice that the update pushed an hour or so ago breaks the client? I log in fine and I get onto the server fine, but once I hit the "select team" part it all goes to hell.

Mac users we're out of luck until they fix it, if you were hoping for a golden wrench your chances just went down. Hopefully they fix it fast.

[Lewism]

Melee:

Shotgun:

Frontier

Sentry?

[Denis W. Veteran]

^ That last one's the wrangler.

[Blackhearted]

A Fast firing, controllable sentry with a rather potent damage shield? and before that we seen a basically infinite crit mode shotgun? Seems like we're forgetting what 'balance' is in this update even worse than we ever have before.
