Team Fortress 2

- Fixed players seeing cloaked Spies when they should be fully cloaked
- Updated the Homewrecker
- It now damages enemy sappers on friendly buildings
- Fixed items not displaying correctly while playing back a demo
- Badge hire dates now display the time in GMT
So the pyro is now ultimate anti-spy!

So how many HW hits per removed sapper?

I haven't tested it personally, but what I've heard is one hit to remove the sapper, but it's bugged in that it doesn't remove the sapper at the other end of a TP pair.

That might be intentional?

Hardly. That lets pyros grief their team. Again.

It's like the sticky refelcts all over.

How many hits dose it take to detach a sapper from a sentry?

Crunch.

The world may never know.

Does anyone else feel like this is an enormous nerf for the Spy?

I mean, now just about all he can do is backstab...

Well, I do main soldier, but IMHO, this makes the sapper almost totally useless if a pyro can come along and knock it off.

We'll just have to wait and see :p

The pyro also has to have found, and using the homewrecker, which I'd still not swap out over the axetinguisher

This isn't op, if a pyro is around an engineer's buildings during a spy attack it will fail anyway. All this allows the pyro to do is help if the engineer died and the spy auto-sapped.

If you're lucky the pyro will choose to remove your sappers leaving you alone and able to retreat.
