TF2 Patch Update: 2/11/15
Posted on: February 11th, 2015 by Obey
Oh look, a patch! (I’ve also attach the small patch from several weeks ago.) It is mostly bugfixes, but below are the significant changes:
- Removed Naughty and Nice 2014 Winter Crates, and added Crates #90 and #91 (see below for drop list).
- New Strange Weapons: Cow Mangler 5000, Third Degree, Winger, AWPer Hand
- Crate #90 is Strange Weapons, Strange Parts, and Hats.
- Crate #91 is 99% Killstreak Kits.
- Fixed a “bug” so that the Heavy can now switch weapons while a minigun weapon is spinning down.
- Expect Heavies to quickly switch to a shotgun, lunchbox item, or fist weapon.
- Fixed a bug where a Dimaondback-wielding spy stacking saved critical hits by backstabbing invulnerable targets.
- Some item sounds have been updated, including axe hits, sword hits, and fixed the Panic Attack using the wrong sound for crits.

Notes
↑ This change also has the effect that, if a map manually applies the powerup conditions to a player, they drop a powerup on death whether they initially picked one up or not.
