I think the Frying Pan is the one from L4D2, and I loved that one Hope it still makes the sound when you hit things with it.

Alright, what the fuck Valve? Getting the whole Sniper pack makes you immune to headshots? Getting the whole Spy pack reduces decloaking sound? A Pyro hammer that does +25% damage and gives you +75 health on hit? Some of those will get nerfed real soon, no doubt.

I thought that was +75 health on kill, not on hit, though I may be wrong

[CJ]

It's +75 on kill indeed.

[Sgt. Nuker]

It is a 75% health return upon killing your opponent, not just merely clubbing them.

Combos that are made of win:

Axtinguisher and Degreaser
Sydney Sleeper and Bushwacka

[MR.Kim]

Or Jarate and Bushwaka will be good combo against spy.

So far, I've crafted the Battalion's Backup, The Shortstop and the Sydney Sleeper. I like these three quite a bit actually, especially the former as it give you + company a defensive boost for a bit. I might try and craft the Bushwacka or Black Box next once I get more metal (And another Direct Hit XD).

[Wanderer]

Jarate and the bushwaka work very well on anything

[MR.Kim]

That's a lot of stuff to fix in such a short time. Then again, that's why VALVe is more awesome than some companies.

Also, here is easy way how to unlock Gored! Achievement and you will get unusal halloween metal.


1) Make your own server on the cp_manor map
2) put in console (ALL AS ONE LINE AFTER SET UP TIME):
sv_cheats 1; noclip; hurtme -9999999; bot; tf_halloween_force_boss_spawn; sv_cheats 0 <--- Copy and past it.
3) Kill him with melee
4) kill in console

Check my backpack with 2nd pages.

[Destiny]

Hope we don't get banned for doing it D;

[MR.Kim]

No, you don't get banned your own server.

[Destiny]

If Valve decides to investigate into it and...you know, VAC ban...

[Liten]

I don't think Valve would go around and VAC ban everyone that did this, they just patch it so that it can't be done anymore.

[CJ]

Valve didn't VAC ban idlers using 3rd party software and they didn't VAC ban bug users and exploiters either, so yeah...

[Sgt. Nuker]

They only took their stuff away that they had gotten through using 3rd party idlers.

[Pandut]

I have the most uncontrollable urge to try and craft it with my Eyelander...

EDIT: Thriller taunt is back .

Heh, you might want to save the haunted metal. Here's why.

Okay, maybe I will save it then XD. The Spine-Chilling Skull looked really cool so I'll try and craft that.

[Destiny]

I think I'll keep the haunted metal for a long...long...time

[Ghostrider]

Oh DO WANT. Can you guys help me in making a server on which I could do what the guy does in the video though? I DL'd a dedicated server for TF2 in the tools on Steam, but I'm lost past there. I can't get the cheats or anything in the console to work.

[Destiny]

Launch TF2

Go to console and type

map cp_manor_event

Then:

sv_cheats 1; noclip; hurtme -9999999; bot; tf_halloween_force_boss_spawn; sv_cheats 0

All in one line, aka copy and paste it into console

Press enter

Kill boss

Get metal + achievement

[Alias]

Or you could just do it on a server. It really isn't that hard to get a single hit on the guy and then run away and stay alive until everyone else kills him.

[Ghostrider]

UPDATE: Steam patched it so you die when the horseman hits you. Try the code below instead:

sv_cheats 1; noclip; buddha; bot; tf_halloween_force_boss_spawn; sv_cheats 0

Worked for me! Thanks for the help guys.

[Destiny]

Buddha?
