It's pretty awesome, I played with it for a little while.

The loving robot glove stuff is super useless, hopefully they'll fix it in the next patch.
Wrangler I haven't messed with yet, looks decent.
Frontier is alright.
Highlight of the update imo is the maps, all of them are really fun and cold front is loving amazingly well done.

If you guys are bored, host a server and add some bots to play with.
It can at least get you familiar with the new items and get you at least maybe some new items?

Opinions:

  • Frontier Justice: It's not insanely OP, but it's certainly not worse than the normal shotgun. I'll probably just have it equipped at all times because a couple crits in my back pocket are good to be able to fall back on.

  • Wrangler: I prefer having a secondary weapon that you can spam and rely on in tight situations. It's fun to mess around with, especially if you get it on a high location, but I think the Pistol is a better weapon overall.

  • Gunslinger: I really don't like this weapon at all. That level 3 glitch aside, limiting sentries to only level one and being unable to heal them is a big drawback. Even when I go offensive I still prefer the default wrench.

  • Southern Hospitality: Unfortunately, I don't have this, because I never keep my item duplicates. To craft it, it's Ambassador + Scrap Metal. When I do get it though it's pretty much a straight upgrade from the wrench.

I disagree about the SH, truce. The default wrench crits so much that I just don't want to give that up.

I always thought you get random stuff from crafting. :o

Uh.., if it was random stuff there wouldn't be blueprints :o

Some weapons (specifically ones you can't get via achievements) you can get through crafting certain things.
For example, you can craft Bonk and a Kritzkreig for the Crit-o-Cola.

True, it'd be a tough choice to switch to the SH for most pubbers. The wrench, like all weapons, gets a boosted crit rate from firing, and since you're constantly whacking buildings, it's usually always maxed out at 25% (15% + 10%). However, I usually play on nocrits servers when I can, and therefore the crit disability doesn't really affect my playstyle.

Can't remove sappers with Southern Hospitality. Witnessed it first hand.

Anyone want to do an achievements server with me? I'd be willing to host.
