TF2 Patch Update: March 27, 2013
Posted on: March 28th, 2013 by ObeyTF2 has had two minor patches recently (March 27 and March 19) of mostly bug-fixes. Here’s a summary of what may have changed that is pertinent for players:
1. The Tomb Raider promotional accessory items Croft’s Crest, Fortune Hunter, and Tomb Wrapper can now be traded, gifted, dropped, and also crafted through the random hat/accessory formula. See the patch update for more info on these items.
2. It is now possible for server admins to change the timer amounts on King of the Hill maps for the Red and Blue sides.
3. You can now buy the paints A Mann’s Mint and After Eight in the Mann Co. Store (US$2.49 each).
4. You should no longer see should see less of hopefully see less of the following gameplay-affecting bugs:
- Invisible players
- MvM Engineer bots upgrading mini-sentries to mini-level 3 sentries (!!!)
- Some weapons floating in the world after death
- A hole in MvM Bigrock’s terrain
- Sentry Guns not rotating to their targets under certain circumstances
- Fists of Steel not reducing ranged damage from weapons with energy rings
- MvM Boss health bars disappearing
5. You can now add the Critical Kills strange part to a strange-quality Festive Grenade Launcher.
6. You can now add the Sappers Destroyed strange part to a strange-quality Neon Annihilator.
7. You can no longer add the Long Distance Kills strange part to the Big Earner knife.
8. The Manmelter projectile can be deflected. The item description stating otherwise has been removed.
9. Something that is not a bugfix: The TF2VRH has been added to the game.
This is an all-class hat promoting the Oculus Rift Kickstarter campaign. You earn this hat by redeeming the code for backing the Kickstarter campaign at any donation level before April 1st. The hat is currently not tradable, craftable, paintable or giftable.
Please let your friends know about the Patch Updates on the TF2 Blog! Guaranteed to prevent OMGWTFBBQ kills by informing your friends about new weapons or becoming aware of distractingly awesome new hats! Also, I plan to start item giveaways through this blog in the near future….
