Valve changed it up. This probably isn’t news to you, but weapon unlocks are now totally random. TOTALLY random. Achievements don’t do shit anymore, you can unlock a weapon for a different class than you’re currently playing, and you can even pick up multiples of the same item. I was playing demo earlier and “found” a Kritzkrieg (which I didn’t have before) and a Flare Gun (which I DID have before).
The random weapons system sucks :/ atleast make it so that you actually need to PLAY to get it.. Now you can just spectate and get weapon unlocks while afk.
I’m praying to god that they hurry up and fix this bug. I don’t find the new system TERRIBLE, but with the bug, it’s bad, and it pisses me off. First unlock I get after four hours and it’s a fucking Ubersaw, last night. TODAY though, a delicious Dead Ringer and Razorback.
I want my god damned huntsman though. If not for the hell if it, then to be able to yell “ARROW’D!” into my mic.
Also, valve said in their blog that you get duplicate weapons because in the future you will be able to trade them off.

I think they should make it so once you get all the weapons (I’m talking about all 18) that you can no longer get anymore, because that would be pretty annoying to have all of them and get a blutsauger or sandvich…

Why am I not playing it?
I’m not really into 6 snipers and 6 spies per team.

Out of all the servers I played on the teams were like they always were. You CAN get the weapons as any class, so no class-stacking.

valve said that the time between drops is a bug that should get fixed soon.
It should be much shorter.

Well, the hitbox detection problem with the ambassador is now fixed, along with its ability to shoot through grates.
