I'm very much looking forward to it, and that new shotgun is sexy.

My favorite class is finally getting updated! And now I want a golden wrench.

 

[snowpenguin]

what do they mean by "on display now"

 

[J.D]

I CRAFTED *Can'tSayThisOnTV*IN 34 ITEMS AND I DIDN'T GET flax!

It's on the Engineer Update page.

 

[snowpenguin]

Dood, j.d, lol, there's only 100 of em. 75 more, if no one's won one yet, which i doubt.

 

[bic]

They're slowly dropping through the Crafting system. As of right now there are 73 left.

Assuming they're dropping at a steady rate, that's about one every hour. (One every 61.0273973 minutes if you want to be picky.)

edit: I saw 3 go as I was playing tonight. (It spits out a game-wide message when someone gets one, regardless of whether or not they're on your server.)

That shotgun is actually in the Mac Preview video for TF2. The Engineer is seen holding it.

Oh, wow, the first guy to get a Golden Wrench got VAC-banned earlier, apparently. Supposedly he cheated the system.

I'm well-aware of that. Now that I know what it does, I like it.

I hope to God my internet connection quits being a Sega by the time this is released... ._.

 

[epicelite]

IN B4 EVERY UNLOCKS SUCKS WORSE THEN THE SNIPER AND SCOUT UPDATE COMBINED!


Srsly tho, shotgun is guaranteed to get nerfed.

 

[Diminuendo]

just in the game Dtsund got his, lucky basturd

 

[Twilight Wolf]

Only one golden wrench left before the next part of the update is revealed!

THE *Can'tSayThisOnTV*ING WRANGLER!

I love it, it will be easier to spy check since you can fire at everyone!

 

[snowpenguin]

eh, but you can't fire at everyone is the problem. the autotargeting is way faster, and also it has the 3 second downtime after use. I suppose the fire rate and damage rate boosts will be good though.

 

[Twilight Wolf]

eh, but you can't fire at everyone is the problem.

Who says?

 

[snowpenguin]

If there's 10 people where the sentry is, chances are 5 of them will be gone within a couple seconds. people don't just stand still, especially spies. pyros are better at spy checking

 

[Twilight Wolf]

Oh, I thought you meant it couldn't fire at teammates.

Yeah, that's true, but I think in general it'd be helpful.

I look forward to setting up a level one sentry, using the Wrangler to shoot some Segaes, then using my Frontier Justice to crit some peoples' faces off. <3

 

[snowpenguin]

Level 3 is better, lol. Get moar flax done, and the increased missile launch rate.

 

[Twilight Wolf]

Ah, but see, I can just set up a level one pretty much anywhere and make a few kills, then when it gets destroyed, crit, crit, crit!
