Guesses and Speculations on the Engineer Update

[TMP]

Nope.

It's afterburn from a flaming arrow.

 

[Naso]

I actually think its a Sniper Sentry..

Hummmm

The engie should get an unlock for the pistol. Instead of the pistol, you get a lazer pointer. The lazer pointer is used to direct your sentry to a spot you want it to shoot, so if a bonked scout comes in while half his team runs by to destroy your nest you can direct the sentry towards the vulnerable team instead of the invincible scout. To balance it, I suppose you could have it work off a battery system, you can only point the lazer for so long until the battery runs out and needs to recharge.

What is that icon that looks like a Kukri with a serrated edge and a drip on the end? Its to the end right of the icon page, above those new Community weapon icons.

Tribalman's Shiv

Is that a community weapon? I havent heard of it... ugh I hate not playing TF2 for long periods of time, I feel like my friend who said "Pyro can airblast now? SINCE WHEN?"

It came out on the latest Community update, it's pretty cool.

You can get it from crafting a Dead Ringer and a Huntsman

Dayum, I looked at the new community weapons, I didn't even notice most of those released. I want that Kukri, it looks so cool O;

The axe is better. Much better. Also, I predict Valve will finally implement a taunt for the axe.

And I've never seen that flaming skull before.

The theme for the engie update, as robin has said in both refenrences to the engie update, is allowing the engie to get away from his base without having to worry so much about his buildings, which gave birth to the repair node and the unlock shown in the kritzkast interview.

 

[lana]

Well, there are a few new icons
The new explosion is probably environmental explosion death

The orange one is the pumpkin bomb and the other was never used

A flaming backstab arrow? Well, that seems pretty odd, don't you think? Also, it isn't a huntsman arrow
Wonder how nobody picked up on it

Huntsman afterburn, as has been said.

As for the laser sentry, it is the same sentry with a laser coming from it, so possibly an upgrade to a level 1 rather than a new sentry

Oh you'd wish.

The exploding head, possibly some sort of sharp-shooting bullets? Look closely and you see what looks like a bolt coming out the right side of the head :O

It's not been colored, so it's probably just there for future fun.

Edit: Poolukes sniper sentry is actually better, the exploding head is a headshot and the laser is a body shot

Sentries are always accurate.

Wouldn't mind a load of new achievements relating to updates that have come out since, like reflect kills for Pyros and such.

The pyro has had reflect kills since his update. If they didn't add it then, they wouldn't add it now. That doesn't apply to something like, say, the medic's ubersaw taunt which didn't come around until recently, or removing sappers with the homewrecker.

Yeah, I didn't know about the chocolate bar, pain train, and homewrecker until a few weeks ago. Valve is pretty silent about the community item releases.

New sentry gun is yoshi.

Yeah, it was added along with the fuctionality to set players on fire.

It's a scrapped ambassador headshot icon.

It's getting tiresome how every unused thing gets digged up as 'new' when something happens. It's like the basement of Cairo's museum.
