Multi Level Weapons Being Found In The Wild

[pl]

I have a level 85 Flare Gun, and it doesn't seem to be any different to a normal one.

Perhaps some items' levels do make a difference and some don't...?

Level 69 and level 8 kritzkrieg charge in the same amount of time, level 66 sandvich is no different from a level 1 one. I don't think modified stats have been added yet.

My thoughts are that it will either make a difference later in performance (as few real weapons are exactly as good as others), or that they will be higher-priced when the trade system arrives.

You guise know Robin said it was a bug?
And DrPepper.
They aren't just level 10.
Watches are level 5 normally.
They all differ slightly, but do not go above 10.

I got a level 69/59 (can't remember) Dead Ringer today, out of the blue.

 

[madmaster5000]

dude, i got a level 71 sandvich. it's a beast

 

[Nineaxis]

I got a level 0 dead ringer.

 

[FlavorRage]

I really hope it's not just a bug.

 

[eerieone]

I got a level 0 dead ringer.

hahaha, that one needs a special model, with a spring poking through the watch

I stumbled across a level 90 razorback and a level 85 kritzterg

Personally I doubt it's a bug. Now I'm not a programmer but I know the following

A) They were planning to introduce this kind of variance soon
B) Something like this would have had to have been coded. Random level assignation just doesn't happen out of the blue unless the code was already there

So it stands to reason that perhaps, by accident, the code got implemented before everything else was ready. I don't know. Personally I hope the way levels are handled are different than levels in an MMO otherwise it undoes the entire point of the level numbers (as a joke), and would severly undermine balance. Personally I want to believe Valve isn't going to screw things up, but as a realist I know even great developers can have bad ideas.

In the meantime though I refuse to delete my leveled weaponry, even the Level 0 KGB, just in case.

what's worse than a Natascha?

a lvl 0 Natascha

 

[Axolotl]

I still have no idea what to do with my Lv. 100 Flare Gun.

Or my Lv. 100 Jar of Piss.

 

[CC_ArK]

I have a lvl 0 Flare Gun

 

[Penguin]

Multi-level weapons are now extinct.

 

[Engineer]

R.I.P Multi level weapons, we will miss you
Not really...

 

[AntonJ3000]

I hate that it is gone, I wanted to get atleast 5 level 100 weapons :angry:

 

[Nineaxis]

I got a level 98 huntsman a couple of hours before it was patched.

 

[Jack Riguel]

What beats a normal Jarate? A level 0 Jarate!

 

[Orangesoda]

Level 100 weapons? Lame.

Level 0, and level 1 weapons? God like.
