Golden wrenches are going out, it seems

[Micnax]

So if it's not random... Are they given to people of certain significance? Although they are already giving community weapons like candy, so why would they

Sorry, just random speculation.

I'd actually like it so that the 30 best engineer players in the game get them.

But then again, a lot of servers use mods to unbalance statistics, so it'll be impossible.

Just an idea, though.

Fisrt guy who got one is an aimbotting, lying, hacking scumbag.

Your theory holds credence, joodude.

 

[Icarus]

the hacker who got the first one had his removed and his account VAC Banned

The wrenches have stopped dropping for now, stopping at 25.

EDIT: They didn't stop. they just slowed down.

 

[bubblewrap]

Apparently, there are only 100 available

 

[my_hat_stinks]

Available randomly while crafting apparently, which means I can't possibly get one (Thanks a lot, Valve, item drop limits really help)

Edit: Turns out there's a full other trhead with discussions about wrench drops :blushing:

 

[Tinker]

The limited availability and the need to get over the drop cap has pretty much purged my interest. Why did they think this was a good idea, again?

 

[Icarus]

The chances of getting one are so small, it's not worth emptying your whole inventory for.

 

[Remnic]

Well, looks like I'll be (shamefully) hanging around an idle server for the evening.

No seriously. I crafted away my last Ubersaw just to try and get a Golden Wrench.

 

[Tapp]

I saw 2 golden wrenchs go out during a single game tonight. possibly rigged, but strange none-the-less.

Rather unlikely. These wrenches have a 100/1 chance of acquirement so seeing two wrenches go out in the same game may be likely.

These wrenches have a 100/1 chance of acquirement...

wut

 

[jpr]

I didn't idle for weapons. I didn't idle for hats. I've found zero hats. But I didn't feel like it's worth idling for.

Even though the chances of me getting a golden wrench are extremely small, I'm sure as shit going to try. I'm idling for a golden wrench.

Thank you, valve.

 

[Mick-a-nator]

You get one randomly during crafting right? you need items to craft, no? Well why the hell did you start dropping them BEFORE the drop limit got reset!?!?!? I think the day it resets is Wednesday too, so I have NO CHANCE AT ALL of ever getting one. Yet again, limited items have been ruined.

ive tried my luck at getting a wrench but i gave up. no luck for me.

That why i like to call the first ever golden wrench a epic karma wrench.

 

[Ninjilla]

I used my sandvich and Dalokos Bar to try and make a gold wrench... damnit.

 

[Terr]

Quick bit of perspective, guys: Remember the Soldier's Medal back in August of last year?

Sure, it was 11,111 as opposed to 100, but how often do you see someone with it and go: "Ooooh, that's awesome"?

Just sayin'.

 

[jpr]

The gentle manne medal can't turn people into gold

 

[Engineer]

I kind of gave up. I even crafted my both hats.
But you know what i got?
The Hot Rod.

 

[grazr]

Yea, the medal doesn't do nor mean anything. I'd only consider seeing one "awesome" if there was only one. But even then i'm more impressed by community weapons. Plus the medal was "acquired" through the website behind some secret button during a US timezone, so i don't really care for it that much anyway. It was like Valve saying "Fuck you world" and anyone who's had the game since it's release can fuck off too.

Then they broaught out the mercenary badges which were more like "sorry for mocking you guys who've been with us from the start, we didn't mean it".
