[Brokkoly 11]

[Krash 1,040]

Its valve, expect delays.

ooooo nice I wonder when this will be out

[kuttlewug 28]

Ooo shiney!

[Krash 1,040]

A gold wrench huh? To me it sounds like they didnt have many ideas

Hopefully it will do something useful like add more metal or build quicker.

I DO NOT want to see them waste an update on that flippin' pistol.

[Brokkoly 11]

seems that valve may be doing something sneakier for this update, i'm expecting that with the comic, we've seen the start of the engineer update

So, the stage has been set.

That's a disappointment... only 100 wrenches?

Oh well, good luck to us all and congratulations to who got 'em.

[Melissia 7]

not a scope because its on the wrong side of the gun.

Scopes can be on either side, depending on which side the user is more comfortable with. You do realize left-handed people exist, right?

[Krash 1,040]

Damn, i wish i were at home right now. I wanna try for that wrench. I am sure that they will make it some how like if you dominate those who have it you will get it like the ghastly gibus system.

[Dashuu 11]

The first details are here now. That shotgun, it's a revenge crit shotgun. So, I guess it was a scope?

[Melissia 7]

It's a weird looking one if it is. But I like the idea behind it.

[Dashuu 11]

Yeah, I'm enjoying the idea behind this revenge crit shotgun. Seems like it encourages offensive engies. I wonder what they will have to go with it... Do you think any of the PDA designs will get touched? (sentries, TPs, etc.)

[Spartan_0214 18]

No, it encourages defensive engies who get lots of kills and can recycle level one sentries from a level three dispenser to get the crits...

[Brokkoly 11]

valve is probably going to nerf it to the point where it only gives one crit per kill and one crit per 2 assists, and also make it so that you don't get crits from destroying your own stuff.

[Melissia 7]

What makes you think you'd get crits from destroying your own stuff anyway?

[Oww My Nose 19]

It says you get crits when your SG is destroyed "either through enemy action or self-destruct"

[Melissia 7]

Wait where... oh, now I see it. Dunno how I missed that... that's stupid. Just keep building level ones in a place with a lot of ammo and a level three dispenser...

[kuttlewug 28]

I'm hoping for some new maps and maybe a new game mode. Mostly new maps.

[Krash 1,040]

Yea this whole system sounds fishy.

[Mana 3,867]

There should be at least 1 new map. There was a vague screenshot of it posted somewhere, I believe.

[Dashuu 11]

Looking at the map on the update, you can see two locations that aren't played. The Hale River, and the Gravel Sea. I could definitely be wrong that these hint at new maps, but it's something to think about. Also, side note, the old timey pyro was a guy.
