Sniper update info FROM VALVE!!!! (new unlockable revealed)

Tribial shield..
*Sigh*
I was hoping for some more firepower here.

The shield will be very interesting.. I wonder how much it will slow you down.

FAIL!!! wth a class that actually deserves to get backstabbed gets protection. they better give the engie something when they do an engie update. many foul bad things that i'm not allowed to say are spewing forth from my mouth right now.

So how do you think the razorback will stand up against other weapons? It seems oddly specific (and worthless) if it doesn't hold up against other weapons. Hopefully it will have its own health bar or something. It would kind of suck if it just shattered on first impact from any weapon lol

I'm thinking it only affects the butterfly knife, or, a back shot with melee.

The good news is it stuns the melee weapon for several seconds so a weapon switch is required. the bad news is a coupla revolver shots will still take you out before you figure out what's happening to you

 

[koolaid]

the shield looks cool it will help alot

Yes!
They better give us a spy detecting wrench, that will stun them in three seconds!

It's pretty cool with the car battery lol. I wish there would have been a greater use for it than just being kinda like a spy repellent.

 

[Black cat]

Shield is useless. Spies can pretty much three shot a sniper to death anyway.
Since when did valve make items only useable against another specific class, anyway?
They should make it effect any melee attack.

 

[Captain Killjoy]

Wow, i can't wait until that update!

Seems valve likes to keep another old conspiracy going just look at their blog update

Sniper Update, Day 4

Day 4 of the Sniper update brings us... hold on, that's not...

Holy hell. All those conspiracy theorists on the TF forum couldn't have been right all along, could they? When the Pyro hears about this she'll be inconsolable.

It's not a conspiracy. They are just coming out on the same day. They have revealed 2 sniper weapons and 2 spy weapons.

I was talking about the blog post when referring to the pyro valve said "she'll"
The old what gender is the pyro question.

 

[Sgt. McAwesome]

Spy turned down the Crab Walking Kit. =(

 

[Hydrogen Peroxide]

Crab walking kit, ahahaaha...oh man, Valve.

And...can I say it?

FEIGN DEATH IS BACK! Sort of.

It doesn't say that anymore.

Now it says: "Pyro's going to be inconsolable now."

They must have changed it.

 

[Cmac]

Not mine but I have to say quick thinking

 

[JHeat]

Nice find Cmac. I was just thinking to myself, man I wish someone had gotten a screen grab.

 

[OSVG]
