It took a little longer than I thought for this to get posted. Why don't they have all the new weapons and hats shown yet? :(
 
Look what I just uncrated:

Wow, so many new items in TF2. If they are forcing everyone to use weapons from a simpler time why not just change tf2 the way it used to be for a simpler time?
 
Heads up guys!

All the polycount items now require 2 reclaimed to make![FALSE]

The Amputator = 2 reclaimed and the Vita-saw (Confirmed I did this myself)
The Ollapool Caber = 2 reclaimed and the Sandman (CONFIRMED)

Actually the above is correct. Or so I have heard.

Can check previous recipes at http://www.tf2items.com/crafting/blueprints.php [Disclaimer: If you don't trust that site either, go to the official tf2 wiki at wiki.teamfortress.com]
