My thoughts about the new unlocks!

Unread post by theGreatZamboni »

Spy is holding the Dead Ringer on his right hand, so my guess is that it replaces one of his current weapons.

Since he had the Revolver on his fake body and he just stabbed the Sniper this means that it will probably replace the Sapper.
Makes him an assassin, huh?

As you probably don't lose your wristwatch you can first use the cloak to sneak around as usual, and then pull out the Dead Ringer and disguise in the enemy base.

I probably makes disguising as a friendly much more useful than before, too.
You can let the enemy "kill" you to get free 8 second cloak.

I can see it backfiring, too, though!
Know somebody is using this item lots?
Spray with a low damage weapon.
If you see all the enemy Pyros dying from a single shot of the pistol you know there's something very fishy going on...


The "Cloak and Dagger" is a wristwatch so it probably replaces the normal cloak watch.
We still don't know how fast the cloak regenerates while standing still, and losing the ability to fill your cloak with ammo crates and weapons probably makes it a sidegrade.

It will be a ton of fun in maps where you can hide in corners, but it will be much harder to pass through long open spaces.

I think both of them use of the same "Disguise Kit" slot, and because it has 2, the sapper will have no unlock. Or something of the sort.

Anybody else hoping that the new revolver will be a dirty harry type thing that will turn enemies into a fine red mist or is that just me?

They both replace the invisibility watch.

They're not limited to one unlock per weapon. Having both the Cloak and Dagger and Dead Ringer is just silly.
Am I back?
Who knows?
All I know is that I'm gonna play some more TF2.

my thought is that they might and another item slot for ''special'' things like the razorback and the 2 watches. the reason y i say this is because i can not see them taking the smg/kukuri from the sniper for the razorback, and the watches for any of the weapons. just a side note but i believe that all unlockables for weapons will replace a weapon with a taunt so i believe that the sapper is not going anywhere.
plz dont do what my avatar is doing ty

in l4d plz no pouncing. in tf2 plz no burning.
if u do this i will be very happy but i know it wont happen =(
