Atleast the contract is easier now

Fixed all classes doing 3x damage when landing on enemies

Lol that was a thing?

Lol that was a thing?

I wonder if that also fixes hearing the WHOOOOOOOSH noise even in spectator mode

 

[CommodoreKong]

Lol that was a thing?

It was for one day, in the Oct 26th they "Fixed The Thermal Thruster not doing 3x damage when landing on enemies" but they accidentally made it so all of the characters did 3x fall damage when landing on enemies, not just Pyros equipped with the Thermal Thruster.

So that's why I heard a falling sound for all classes?

Wonder what this will do to the economy.

Kind of sounds insane! Means you can now get a Halloween unus on any hat from 2015 to now. Wonder if it means special event cases draw from Halloween too, like invasion? Or if it only affects gun mettle, jungle, rainy day, may flower, and tough break cases.

They come from Invasion crates too.

Holy shit

I was always curious if the weapon effects (Isotope, Hot, Cool, etc) could still be unboxed during Halloween. According to the descriptions, they can be.

Also, why did they remove Energy Orb, I wonder?

 

[FishyUberMuffin]

They come from Invasion crates too.

I think that list needs to be longer

 

[Erk]

Also, why did they remove Energy Orb, I wonder?

Maybe to make it rarer? It's one of the most liked effect for weapons.

The new fall-damage sound followed by a sound like you've been hit? I think that's just a thing they decided to update, like the flamethrower particles.
