The detonator is fucking awesome, but might step on demo man a bit too much. Gonna see how well the detonation works; got my new secondary for Pyro if its halfway decent
Used the Detonater in the beta. It was fun for tagging corner-humping snipers, but if I’m not mistaken it did less damage. Flare jumping is also mostly useless.
How do you flare jump with it? Does it stick to the ground or do you “plink” M1 and M2?
Takes a very strict timing of jumping, shooting, and detting. You also have to aim at the correct angle if you’re doing to do it while moving. Sounds like rocket jumping on paper, but RJ explosions are instant … which makes the whole affair much easier to coordinate.
Hmm… and I’m sure it doesn’t give much height either. If it gets you on some taller props that would help with ambushing enemies.
If I can jump onto the upstairs in goldrush while defending, I’m happy
Or one of the freight containers in Granary! Awesome!
there’s a few good “flare jumping” vids on youtube that does give (in the beta) a good idea of what it can do
To be fair they added a lot to the Engi class pro bono. The ability to make level 1-3 dispensers, teleporters, and the ability to move equipment was just handed to Engis on a silver platter. It sucks that they’re not getting more stuff I guess but they are the only class to receive buffs of that caliber. Adding more fuel to that fire might not be the greatest thing.
I can’t wait to find out Valve is trolling us and releases a bunch of Engi shit though.
Getting back into TF2, haven’t played since before hats lol. How easy is it to obtain items? Also can I reset stats?
It’s easy if you don’t care about getting all of them at once. You get random drops just by playing normally. Yes you can reset stats. You can also buy them with real money if you are that impatient, but you won’t be able to trade bought items.
Note that there is a drop cap that resets each Wednesday night. If you notice you aren’t getting any more items, just wait until next week.
My advice is to get all of the achievement earned items first. Then if you find a duplicate item by random drop, use this crafting list to make a new one:

And yes you can reset stats.
I hope they make steam accounts need something purchased on it to get it free, otherwise idling/hacking is gonna get out of hand
Also damn it why is Tesla Thursday taking so long
Oh what the fuck…
If it will stop people from playing this abomination…
I’m all for it. ggs China.
Estimated 20 minutes to update time. I dont want to play because I dont want to waste any drops. Sad I won’t be able to play until later
Eh, I just hope they don’t make certain weapons usable only by buying it through the shop. If the system stays the way it is right now, I could deal with it.
IIRC the last time they tried that was with the hats that gave buffs to the player who bought them. Of course the community shot that down immediately, and a few weeks later, Valve made the hats craftable.
The hats were buyable instantly, but also findable. Later they were made to be specifically crafted, though you could randomly craft it before that. It was no big deal.
I do regret donating my $50 for the polycount pack, though I knew it was more of a supporting valve move even when I did it
Also no update yet argh
