Things Valve claims they fixed, but not really:

Civilian Engie (see my video above)

Mini level 2/3 sentries. They are still quite possible, here's how...

1. Open up PDA and select sentry, but don't build yet

2. Switch load out to Gunslinger, touch supply cabinet

3. Build, Upgrade to level 3

4. Pick it up, and place where you would like

5. ???

6. PROFIT!

That still works? I didn't even bother trying after they said it was fixed. :p

is the gunslinger a random drop or you have to do something to get it?

You get each new weapon when you complete a certain amount of achievements and reach the appropriate milestone.

They've made it much easier to unlock the weapons with each update too, so it doesn't take long. I've unlocked everything but the Wrangler and I've only been playing casually (no achievement farming) since the update was released.

Mini sentries are awesome. Fast rate of fire, and despite their inability to be repaired they're quick to rebuild and spam everywhere. :D

The following videos are linked in TF2's news feed in Steam, but here they are again - just freaking amazing.

:rofl: at this one:

and the most amazing one for last:

(the demoman one sucked in my opinion)

Yep, this works perfectly. People don't like it when you drop a level 3 mini-sentry down on a choke point.

Especially if you have The Wrangler.

I managed to get the third Milestone achievement by taunt-killing an unaware sniper by bashing his head in with the guitar. I've never had a more satisfying taunt-kill :laugh:

You might find this video a bit hilarious then :laugh: Specifically the last kill!

I need 2 more achievements for Milestone 2. I've already got the Wrangler through random drops :p

Haha, priceless XD I've already managed to get the new Engineer items. Melee kills are the hardest if you ask me :p

I just assumed it was for a new bunch of misc items, but it does make sense to allow you to equip 2 different misc ones (Like the medic mask and the badge)

I thought that too, but when I thought more about it I figured they'd want you to be able to equip your badges/medals as well as any other misc item, such as the medic mask or spy beard. Plus I don't really expect an influx of new misc items before all the other stuff they have planned (like the modding update).

a little, but I'm still trying to tweak it to run well. TF2 just runs like utter crap on my system, where I get like 20- fps on the move, but if I die and it freeze frames someone, it shoots up to 300+ lol. Going to test horrible dx8 settings tonight to see if it will be playable.

    • As a game dev, today was really depressing. They announced that Blueprints will be deprecated in UE6 to be fully replaced by their sh**ty Python-like Verse language... They also announced that 5.8 will be the last version of UE5 until UE6 comes out in MID 2029!!!! They have completely lost the plot.

    • That's not what I meant:) I like the tabs being above the URL bar, but previously the tab selection started from the top of the screen (y=0). So I could just quickly push my mouse up and done. Now I have to actually aim it just slightly below the top, because the tab is now a few pixels below the top. In other words, previously I only had to aim with my mouse horizontally, now I have to both vertically and horizontally. Super annoying.
