dang, from the sounds of the translated achievements, the energy drink will give some type of "miss!" power.:mellow: I was hoping for it to just go faster and the player had to use skill to dodge the sentries

you mean you didn't notice the MISS! on the scout?

check the energy drink update page again and look closer.

Valve, the only game company with enough balls to openly insult our attempts to leak their info.

You didn't notice they are exactly like the critical hit indicators, but indicate everyone is missing?

The only difference is that the scouts hand is further up on the barrel. You people are looking for stuff were it isn't there. And how is taking of the bottoming making it sawed off? I thought that the scatter gun was a sawed of version of the regular shotgun.
Actually, the "new" one doesn't have the rounded area around the chamber and the stock has the opposite curve. It's also missing the forward aiming post

As I was just ranting in the steam chat, Bonk! had better disable captures and intel carrying like ubers do.

The effect doesn't last as long as an uber, and afterwards the scout slows down a lot so it balances out. If he had the intel he would run really far and then slow down to the heavy or soldiers speed for a bit.

EDIT: Man this forum is quiet compared to the Steam forums. I know Ive said this before but I mean, this post has 3 pages and the post on the Steam forums has almost 40 pages, and there's not just one. But I have to admit I like these forums a lot more. There's no trolls or spammers.

I'm wondering if the BONK! miss effect is going to apply to all damage, or just the bullets fired from sentry guns. Having the scout get a speed boost AND be able to avoid most of the fire the enemy team is throwing at him seems a bit overpowered, but having the effect only apply for sentry guns seems a bit more reasonable and balanced.

I think it will only be for bullets. When you have used Bonk! you also have some seconds where you can't see that good...
