I broke down and ended up buying something from the TF2 store, I was against it but I wanted to see what I had in 3 crates I had ended up with.

But hey, it was only $7.47, I know a guy who's spent over $100 on it.

What did you end up getting? My first crate ended up with Black Paint, second was a Shortstop. (Which I was actually missing)

My keyholic friend keeps consistantly getting paint out of his.

Yeah, I think I'll stop buying keys now.

Managed to get a Stout Shako out of one though, so that's 3 hats.

Also, Looking for Baker Boy/Tossle Cap, will trade Bonk Helm or another hat.

First item was a paintrain (way to waste $2.50), second was a name tag, third was the white tin of paint.

As you can't find that in drops, you did well in that one. I've spent far too much on keys now so I'm gonna stop for a while. I have around ?3.50 in my Steam wallet so I may open the next one and leave it there.

Also if this hasn't been posted, I'm posting it, if it has, I'm posting it again.

This guy clearly outdid himself this time. Amazing (Y)

I only went through the Frontline path. Still have yet to try Defensive.

Do vintage weapons have any power advantage over newer ones, or are they only valuable in terms of trading/collecting?

No power advantage whatsoever. You're right, the only difference is in terms of collecting / trading. All weapons/hats dropped before the trading update are vintage, all weapons/hats after are not.

Nope, it just shows that they were found before the Mann-conomy update.

PLus it proves you didn't buy it :p

I have to say, I use to play Team Fortress 2 just for fun, but since all these cool items came out I'm just a drop ###### :blush: . I was wondering if anyone here has a mac and is willing to help me get the earbuds? :whistle: (must be a known person in Neowin with a high badge) not sure how I will pay you for doing it since I have nothing but junk :laugh:

You can't get the earbuds from a drop anymore by using a mac. You can only trade for them.

    • Uhm, that's every business ever, though. It doesn't matter if a bajillion users are using it. As long as it's not making bank, it's probably headed for the graveyard.
    • Yeah Patchou was an active member here, good ol' times indeed.
    • Samsung is the new Google... they don't care if millions of people are using it.
    • Still no word on Tides of Annihilation...... so weird that it wasn't shown at the big Game Fest. Guess I'll put it in the bin like Judas and Squadron 42.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions by David Uzondu Samsung has announced that it is shutting down Samsung Max, its VPN service used by more than 50 million people, effective today. Samsung Max VPN, if you don't know, was an Android app born on February 23, 2018, out of the ashes of Opera Max, a very popular data-saving VPN that Opera had discontinued the previous year. Samsung bought the discontinued service, rebranded it, and added a native Samsung UI to fit the Galaxy ecosystem. The app could do things like compress images, help you manage background data on a per-app basis, reduce video data consumption, shrink music files, optimize webpages, block advertisement trackers in incognito mode, and encrypt your internet traffic on public Wi-Fi networks. Image via SammyGuru If you open the app now, you'd be greeted by a shutdown banner warning that all VPN, data saving, and privacy services stopped functioning on June 15, 2026. The creators failed to provide a reason for the shutdown, instead publishing a farewell note that read: "Thank you for being with us over the years. Your support and activity truly meant a lot to us and helped shape this app into what it became." This same message appears on the Google Play Store listing for the app as well. Max VPN is the latest service from Samsung to join the list of discontinued applications from the company. Just two months ago, the Korean tech giant announced that it is completely shutting down Samsung Messages, forcing millions of users to migrate to Google Messages by next month. The only devices that the shutdown won't affect are older smartphones running Android 11 or lower. Some of the features of Google Messages that Samsung hopes will entice users include AI-powered scam detection to block suspicious links, integrated Gemini AI tools to generate quick replies, custom chat bubbles, and universal RCS compatibility for sharing high-quality media with iOS users. The platform also offers seamless syncing across tablets and smartwatches. In addition to that, users gain access to message scheduling, smart classification, and automated category sorting.
