Does this mean that demomen can sticky bomb ammo kits away from people?

EDIT: NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINJA!

 

[fubarFX]

dropped weapons ARE ammo kits ppl

 

[Grim Tuesday]

Why would they say AND if they were identical?

Woot woot! I'm a little sad they didn't use my suggestion of having it as an option for specific flag or capture zone entities (which would have allowed for more flexible crit boost triggering), but I have no idea how complicated that could be code-wise. This is still plenty awesome.

Gotta love how Valve actually listen to their mapping community.

kritz + bonk! = crit a cola
razorback + targe = gunboats

I can use both of these!

I'm thinking some for homewrecker and pain train as well.....

also, only 3 items to make tokens. yay!

List of known changes so far

Kritzkrieg + Bonk! = Crit-a-Cola
Charge 'n Targe + Razorback = Gunboats
Batter's Helmet + Bonk + Bonk = Bonk Helm (probably)
Sandvich + Bonk => Dalokohs bar
Equalizer + Eyelander = Homewrecker

Also, you can "uncraft" metal now. Breaks it down into the 3 previous types (doesn't work for scrap obviously).

What's the purpose of that?

That'd be a lot more useful if it DID work for scrap. I could get back my 3 Medic items and combine them with another one to get the class token I could have gotten before, but didn't know so at the time and screwed myself out of it. :facepalm:

EDIT: Oh, it only requires 3 of a class's weapons to get a class token now. Much better.

"oops I dont want a hat I want that new weapon from the engie update."

 

[sniprpenguin]

What's the purpose of that?

Uncraft the higher metal and recraft using the new 2:1 ratio.

Uncraft the higher metal and recraft using the new 2:1 ratio.

nay that is not an exploit

2 weapons make scrap. EVERYTHING ELSE [to do with metal] IS UNCHANGED.

Could easily be worked around though by sending the input depending on which flag is picked up or with func_flag_alerts a little larger than the cap zone.

 

[Prestige]

wish you could uncraft scrap

nontheless crit-a-cola is awesome.

 

[absurdistof]

Yes I will certainly be crafting that thank you :O

In other news I'm now a happy panda.
