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.

    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
