New Weapons in a Future Update Confirmed!

The Facestab Knife

Sometimes we're pretty confident right off the bat that an idea is terrible. But if we can quickly make a testable version, sometimes we'll playtest it anyway just to make sure. Even a terrible weapon can turn into something interesting with a little iteration.

The Facestab Knife was not one of those. While brainstorming ideas for the Manno-Technology update, one of our resident Spy players asked the question "What if there was a knife that was almost useless from the back but could backstab from the front?" The video below provides the perfect answer to what would (and did) happen.

So...a nerfed knife, since they can all facestab already? :P
 
THE FACESTAB KNIFE?????????????????? (Dwayne the rock Johnson voice) FINALLY............... An alternative to the phlog.

(normal voice) The only good items are the ones that people get mad at you for using.

It was a scrapped weapon idea, guys lol
 
"The Sucker" hahahaha!

And yes, for those who just skimmed and didn't read, these were scrapped weapon ideas. They're pretty funny though. :D
 
um putting this out there, they said the last one wasn't a bad idea at all so ya know
 
These are all hilarious.

While I was reading these, a new weapon came to mind for demo

It'd be a mine that would detonate when someone got close, something along the lines of a bouncing betty.

Also, I'd think that the parachute would make it harder for the soldier using it. It's easier to get shot if you're slower.

Hopefully some great new weapons will come out of this update...although I encounter more than enough facestabs as it is on TF2. Those scrapped weapons ideas were hilarious!
 
I for one would enjoy a Sucker. Those pesty scouts always trying to get away. This time I can trap them and burn their hams.

No you don't set the Ham on fire. Have video games taught you nothing? Cooking meat makes it more effective.
 
From what I'm reading of what you guys are saying, I'm not sure all of you get what is and is not confirmed. The face-stab and the sucker are both scrapped, but the parachute, from what the article says, is confirmed.

There, resume with your fantasies now that I have ruined them.

It was a joke lol
 
oh no joe bros, more crap i'll have to trade for else i won't be the MLG cools any-no-mores.


well the base jumper is in because i remember that from the workshop under it's name "troop shoot." the old engineer item they link back to reminds me of a workshop fan favorite called the rayzar... insert conspiracy theory nonsense here....

who knows, maybe now i'll finally get my "Action Hale!?" figurine?

my only real concern might be that they shove something in (again) that doesn't jive with TF2's 60s spy-fi aesthetic
