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.

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
