I recently had the chance to interviewer several key members of TF2 workshop community after their visit to valve HQ, after covering information already known about the upcoming jungle update, one of the members begun to talk about previously unknown information about the upcoming Jungle Update, More specifically items and some weapons that may be apart of this update or possibly future updates and shared a quick summary of items that they had seen while at the valve HQ.

>Portable allclass healthkit
I can believe that this is going to be a thing and I hate that this IS going to be a thing, because it sounds like something Valve would accept without thinking because it looks cool.
Class roles don't need to be diluted like that, and healing as a mechanic slows down the game by making people take longer to die.

>ANOTHER FUCKING SOLDIER WEAPON
VALVE YOU NIGGERS SOLDIER ALREADY HAS THE MOST WEAPONS IN THE GAME STOP GIVING HIM MORE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Fuck you OP, you could have just posted a screen of all the weapons.
By the way, the mayann revolver is supposed to be an Engineer weapon, as strange as that sounds.
>>379039131
People have been agitating for Engineer to get a revolver for a long time because "hur dur muh cowbois". I wouldn't mind if he got that one though.
I don't care. When's Half Life 3
>>379039131
Nice, keep raping the art style...
>>379038757
I won't be surprised if it gets scrapped like the Repair Node. Even by Valve standards, it seems like an absolutely loony idea that just can't be balanced.
Who cares, when does the next comic come out
>>379039662
Everything except the last gun is pretty inline with the style.
The last gun looks like it's from DOTA.
>>379039692
I bet that's for a different mode.

It's fucking Meet the Pyro all over again.

from left to right
3/5 (a bit ugly but heavy needs guns)
1/5 if it's a healthpack 3/5 if it isn't
2/5 (soldier doesnt need more primaries lol especially one so close in concept to Air Strike, but at least it looks nice)
4/5 (engineer needs more actual weapons)
4/5 (sniper needs more actual weapons)
5/5 (heavy NEEDS more actual weapons for variety)
1/5 (Pyro already has 4 flareguns, and this one is out of artstyle)
>>379038757
They should take this as an opportunity to remove the medic altogether. The game would improve significantly.
Can't we actually reduce the amount of weapons some classes have? For instance, turn liberty launcher into an air strike reskin. Nobody would miss liberty launcher.
>>379036912
can you actually explain what any of them do?
Any info besides workshop links?
>>379036912
I kniow, you went there because you guys won best overall in the 2016 saxxies. Congrats BTW, tell Tacoman I said hi
>>379039131
Take notice, Engineer's Revolver is almost direct (stylized) copy of MGSV Revolver Ocelot's revolver.
I doubt Valve will permit them to add a copyrighted weapon to the game (and Konami does own this specific weapon design since MGSV has unique weapons, never seen before).
>>379039507
Engineer losing his pistol is probably the saddest part about class updates. Shotgun is much better for front-line engineers and plays well with mini-sentries, but the reliable poke damage from pistol means that a defensive engineer is much more useful once his L3 sentry goes down.
>>379040843

I guess it does look more like Mateba than MGSV stuff. Guess I got confused since it was inspired by Mateba.
>>379041306

As much as I'd love a peacemaker in tf2 it isn't happening
>>379041614
>They probably wanted to make it as distinct as possible from spy's revolvers
None of spy's revolvers look anything like the single action.
What kind of cowboy uses a fucking mateba? It doesn't fit engie at all.
>>379040273
Medic is overpowered, sure, but he doesn't need to be removed, just nerfed. You're too extreme anon.
>>379040384
I would
>removing content from the game
for what purpose? liberty launcher isn't even that bad
>>379041614
But why? Engi already shares a shotgun with 3 other classes. Would a revolver make him to overpowered? We're not even talking about amby.
>>379042127
Because it's useless bloat. I'd rather have 50 weapons that work than 50 weapons that work plus 50 suns on a stick. And yes, LL is bad. By far the worst thing in Soldier's arsenal.
>>379042160
You don't understand, he wasn't saying it would make Engie OP, he was saying that both Engineer and Spy having a Revolver would blur the lines between the two classes and make them less unique.
The point of TF2 having different classes is for variety and different experiences, that's why weapons are specific to certain classes.
>>379042248
>By far the worst thing in Soldier's arsenal.
Brown bouncy shoes.
Alien squirt bottle gun.
Grey two pointed digging implement.
Liberty Launcher is better than all those things, and it's fun to be able to rocket jump around for only 8 damage per jump while also being able to do splash damage.
>all this talk about a cowboy gun
It's tf2 guys. I want this nigga to have a lasso secondary that yanks people into his area denial. I wouldn't mind a new gun at all, but I have too much fun with all of scouts random secondaries. Engy could use some of those.
>>379042485
>I want this nigga to have a lasso secondary that yanks people into his area denial
Me too.And what if it could haul Sentries while they continued to fire in a way that wasn't overpowered? Then Engie would be more useful on offense.
>>379040178
Wait you mean this is actually the fucking Pyro update? What the fuck, I wish that Trench Warfare theme shit was the one actually happening.
they should let pyro set terrain on fire for crowd control. That would make him kinda useful
>>379041306
I think it's something like they started demanding royalty fees for any revolvers that resemble it, even if it's heavily abstracted and doesn't attach the name. That's why MGSV uses mateba designs instead.
>>379042656
>Join server post-update

>>379042630
No, this is not the Pyro Update. OP is just an unconfirmed leak that's probably bullshit. If you look at the website, no updates have been announced other than bugfixing.

>>379039131
Hey, I used to use that M60 skin for the Tomislav.
>>379042656
>wanting Pyro to be even more defensive
He's already good for defense as-is, since he can protect Engineers by countering Spies and explosive projectiles.
Offense is where Pyro struggles, as he just can't do any decent damage at mid-long ranges. Afterburn in particular needs to be way more of a threat, as it's too easy nowadays to extinguish it.
There is only 6 devs working on TF2, these leaks are bullshit.
>>379036912

Yeah the healthkit will probably be used for that game mode that has the grappling hooks in it that nobody plays. More realistically it will probably just be a normal health pickup reskin for certain maps like how halloween ones have candy instead

Gunslinger so I can finally get a strange one to enrage people even more.
>>379042973
The community makes all the weapon and item models so there are plenty more than six people who have at least a partial view of what the new update contains
Which isn't to say OP can't be lying
If they made competitive matchmaking modes that removed hats and only allowed stock weapons i'd play it.
>>379043971
I seriously doubt that will ever happen.
>>379043828

>>379036912

>>379036912
All i want from this update is the re-addition of autobalance and autoscramble because holy shit it is impossible to get anything remotely balanced anymore
i hope my unusual effect gets into the game but i guess its not likely due to valves annoying preference to people that already have 10 billion things in the game already

>>379044171
It's not that bad, a few hours ago I was playing in Suijin and the overtime lasted for over 2 minutes at least with both team's timers on 00:00. Autobalance was the main reason people quit.
>>379044332
Ranks are pretty useful. If a red sniper is killing you, just bear with it. If a grey one is killing you, yell hacks at the top of your lungs.
>>379036912
>removed
Can someone give me a tl;dr?
>>379044445
True, but people also smurf on alt accounts so ultimately it doesn't help.
>>379044171
I think I can count balanced matches in the last two weeks on one hand, everything else was either stomp or be stomped.
>>379044332
>>379044445
The strange thing about ranks to me is how Casual's are more defined than Competitive's.
Like, you can clearly see a Casual player's progress through the color and detail of their medal, but Competitive just gives you random symbols with not much indication of how good/important they are.
>>379044709
This I've only had one balanced match this year and it was on 2fort.
>made a crummy unusual effect that is long overdue for some touch ups but too lazy to update
>not very popular but has maintained pretty high ratings
Not getting my hopes up but I still feel like I've done just enough for minor consideration. Just unlikely enough that I'd explode ten times over if it miraculously got in.
>>379044332
That "reward" for volunteering to be switched is the most insulting shit ever
>Would you like to volunteer to be stomped into the ground? If you do you'll get double of the completely worthless rank points!
They need something of actual worth, like a free (nontradable) hat for every 10 team switches or something
>>379044909
Meant to reply to >>379044278
>>379044909
how is your ratio of ratings? I know that they might not be the exact defining factor in whether valve puts it in the game or not but
for everything ive made its always been consistently twice or more negative votes than my positive ones
>>379044915
You know they'd just put in a strange free hat that counts team switches.
>>379044776
Out of curiosity when did you start getting unbalanced matches because in my case it all went to shit in the rate the match update.
>>379044915
>They need something of actual worth, like a free (nontradable) hat for every 10 team switches or something
A random drop upon every switch would be better imo, but a non-tradable achievement hat for switching 50 times would be a nice touch.
>>379036912
>20-fucking-17

Come on, really?
>>379045104
Damnit that's exactly what they're going to do
It'll be just like that gift-giving heart screen that no one uses
>>379045165
around the same time actually.
They need to stop making weapons and start balancing the ones we already have. No point in adding anything when you can just completely remake the shittiest weapons into something usable. It's not very sexy, but it would allow them to release much more viable weapons since they already have models. The problem though is that these niggers don't even play the game anymore, so they should really hand it off to a third party like CSGO does.
So is valve going to have a 10 year anniversary update or ignore it like every anniversary since hl1 10 year.
>>379045208

>>379044306
>wanting autobalance again

>>379045351
It was a necessary evil in a game that allows freely dropping in and out of matches
>>379045351
I'd take it over the current bullshit. At least I can go "Yeah I won that" if I got bullshit-switched at the end. Nobody wins with this system.
>>379045249
Even worse when valve drones/youtubers defend them saying "it's not that bad"
It's literally that bad if not worse, seriously if they fuck up on this update I'm cashing out and never looking back.
I haven't played TF2 since they decided to go full retard and add levels and exp and shit to the game.
If you're going to do that shit do it from day one, don't patch it in nearly 10 years later.
>>379042973

>>379043143
Don't like that taunt, it makes the classes too short and makes the entire torso weird.
>>379045467
Casual levels do absolutely nothing. It's not that the level-based matchmaking doesn't work or anything, there simply isn't anything of the sort. Casual badges are eyecandy.
>>379045351

>>379045438
>Nobody wins with this system
uhh yes they do. in fact most games i play i get a solid match out of them. maybe 5% of matches i play are one sided with the other team leaving. but at least i don't get shitcanned to the losing team at the end of the game.

>>379045274
>They need to stop making weapons and start balancing the ones we already have
Even if they do that perfectly, Medic and Spy still haven't gotten a new weapon for FIVE YEARS.
Both Medic and Heavy, despite being two of the strongest classes in the game, are also some of the most samey and repetitive, which is why nobody plays them. They desperately need variety.
I agree balancing existing weapons needs more focus, but they need to make at least one new weapon for Pyro, Engie, Heavy, Spy, and Medic in addition to balancing the existing ones out.

Why do people shit on TF2 so much? It was a a beloved classic for years, and the gameplay is better than ever. The recent balance changes have been great.
>>379046618
Well not exactly like that but at least something more portable then the miniguns or maybe a shotgun that doesn't pale in comparison with the sandvich.
>>379046731
It's now impossible to kill a Spy as Pyro and I refuse to call the game balanced until that's possible.

And for them to stop lying about the AoE on the Direct Hit.

That's really not true, you can decloak almost immediately. With how fast you're moving you can get out of flame range very quickly. If the pyro decides to chase you can lead him right into your team, set up a trickstab, or just shoot him. If he doesn't you grab an ammo box and try again.

Literally every class can die from random crits, maybe you meant to say "not to play casual"? So long as b4nny and every other pubstomper dies to them, and that is what they are designed to do give a random advantage so skill isn't the only decider to victory, it is impossible to say every random crit is avoidable.

99.99% of random crits are avoidable.

So you are shitposting. Tell me how you plan to dodge the random crits of hitscan weapons

Random crits are perfectly fine in a casual environment. Though perhaps they shouldn't be the same for all class, soldier benefits from them way more than engineer for example.

crit wrench
>>379057719
nearly every possible attack an enemy can throw at you is avoidable from all circumstances
if more than 1/10000 attacks thrown at you actually make contact you're not good enough at the game to be playing online
>>379059953
this but minus the hilarious sarcasm. git gud, babbies.

Crit wrench is a desperate self defense that often involves tiptoeing in spy's melee range. Crit rocket is "if the five of you didn't want to die, perhaps you shouldn't have been pushing the cart :)"
