Sentries redeploy faster now and the jag buffs will stack on top of that(?) along with the reduced speed penalty when carrying buildings. Sentries can’t tank as much damage but it’ll be a whole lot quicker to move them around with the rescue ranger. I like that it’s encouraging more adventurous play from engis. I hope we’re not going to be seeing lvl3s on 5CP as the norm now though.

The mini build time looks like a nerf though. Any situation in which you need a mini up ASAP isn’t going to be one where you can sit around wrenching it, engies wont be able to shit out minis in the middle of a fight as quickly any more.

Imagine yourself as a medic, pushing to 2nd with uber, your team kills their medic, their medic was using kritz, you pick up his weapon (kritz) and you push last with kritz while they thought you had normal medi gun, ez

that’s not how it’s going to work though. Pretty sure you may only pick a medigun reskin if you’re using a medigun. But we’ll see.

“Players have always dropped their equipped weapons when they die. But now, if it’s a weapon your class can equip, you can pick it up and take it for a test drive. You can even change loadouts on the fly!”

If you pickup a kritzkrieg will your uber percentage:
a) reset to 0;
b) remain the same;
c) change to the percentage the other medic had just before death?

Thought about this as well, if the medigun has the same percentage to when the medic dies, it means dropping is the worst thing ever haha. Also means that when you switch the medigun, the dropped medigun will have uber percentage to when you drop it so you can essentially build two ubercharges as long as you keep the dropped medigun away from the other medic…

brb building up a stash of mediguns at our last
edit: will weapons still disappear and if so will the decay time reset when you pick it up and drop it again?

Will probly end by having special mode (where you can pick up someone’s weapon) as manpower, anyways

I hope that they wont ban configs and all that stuff like in cs go

You answered your own question. You wouldn’t have even needed to ask that question if you’d have bothered to read the update notes.

I did not answer my own question. I read the thing on the website which states: ‘You can even change loadouts on the fly!’ That is a terrible wording because it implies that you can change your loadout and it will update without picking up a weapon. Fuck off with your attitude and your implication that I didn’t read it.
