what's a good weapon to turn into cardboard?

hard mode: no black box

nightmare mode: include a themed cosmetic loadout

I saw this Scout who was just stuck sliding around like this

for some reason there's a console command that when set to 1, the player stays in the contracker pose permanently

I played against a heavy who was using it and it was incredibly annoying because it was really hard to tell where he was looking and what he was doing

hey you know what would be cool? if only paints that could be applied to the selected weapon appeared as options in the war paint previewer so it didn't keep switching to another weapon every time I pick an incompatible paint

just go as fat scout

not advisable with the low number of medics and the shotgun taking the place of the all-powerful banana, I've found soldier works better since you can combo people

and I've decided that defending makes for a worse contract by lightyears, I spent around an hour on upward and literally every single time I was about to get a defense point, some absurd nonsense would cheat me out of it

but, speak of the devil:

- Updated the Case Global Unusual Effects to draw from a pool of previous years' Halloween Unusual effects during the Scream Fortress IX event.  This applies to all cosmetic cases.
- Fixed all classes doing 3x damage when landing on enemies
- Fixed the Flare Contract Bonus Objective requiring mini-crit kills instead of crit kills
- Made it easier to score "defend an objective" style Contract objectives
- Lowered the requirements for the Amputator Contract's bonus objectives
- Fixed a case where players standing directly in front of the Pyro would not get burned
- Fixed a bug related to the Medi Gun and changing class/loadout while being healed
- Updated Mann vs. Machine
        - Removed the "Faster recharge rate"  upgrades from The Dragon's Fury
        - Fixed the missing "Increased Airblast Push Force" upgrade on The Dragon's Fury

I'm not sure what's worse, defense contracts or the shotgun contract when every team has 8 pyros preventing you from getting close enough to do reasonable damage

"defending" objectives is the loving worst because if someone moves a centimeter away from the cap before they explode it doesn't count

the last point on mercenary park could use some reworking

out of maybe 10 rounds I have only seen it successfully captured once

it's like they're trying to copy overwatch by having the last point take longer to capture than it takes for the enemy to respawn
