now you can allow gunboats, crit-a-cola and the pain train because everyone can get it easily=)

This makes me so happy :)

GUNBOATS NAO ETF2L!!! :)

Quoted from Extremer

You still have to randomly achieve weapons to craft them.

Actually the argument was that it was statistically possible to never get a random drop of or able to craft a pair of gunboats, the issue was never with crafting away your items and relying on random drops because that’s true of any weapon. If you choose to craft away your targe + charge and razorback which you unlocked from achievements, that’s your problem. Since both weapons are guaranteed from achievements and the new community weapons are guaranteed from crafting of those weapons, its fine.

* Fixed dropped weapons and ammo kits not being affected by explosions.

Quoted from Rele

Which would in return mean you have to ban the other two weapons you used for crafting, because if everyone would craft them they’d rely on random drops again to get them back. It doesn’t solve the problem, it only shifts it to other weapons.

You completely missed the point. There is no shifting, only problem solving.

You are both right in some way.

With the update it is definitely possible to make sure everyone can get the new weapons.
On the other hand, it is not possible for everyone to get all weapons. Especially for the scout and heavy this is more of a problem as you would have to give up your bonk drink to get the critacola. So it’s not possible to get both without relying on random drops.

So I’d say this is a very great improvement, but I do hope to see the random drop system get an update as well (with a way to work towards certain unlocks, as the blog talked about).
