A TF2 update just rolled out, following a string of unknown items drops reported yesterday. While the patch notes were relatively uninteresting, the community hats and weapons included got found pretty much right away. The three new weapons are:
- The Dalokohs bar – Heavy lunchbox, adds +50% max hp for 30 seconds.
- The Pain Train – Demo/Soldier melee, adds +1 capture speed while increasing damage received from bullets by 10%
- The Homewrecker – Pyro melee, 200% damage against buildings, -25% damage against players.
There’s also several new hats.

You’re doing it wrong, Daed.
It’s supposed to be either:
“OMG MORE HATS FUCKIN’ AWESOME”
or
“OMG MORE HATS NOW I’LL NEVER GET THE ONE I WANT”.

Oh, and in your picture you missed the Spy one and put the Sniper one in twice.
And to be relevant so I’m not being a dick-double-poster, the Homewrecker could be interesting if it destroys sappers. (I doubt it will) And the Dalokohs bar seems to be reasonably useless so far.

those three weapons sound pretty useless. The Dalokohs bar seems like a Sandvich, the difference being you eat it right before you charge into a room instead of after you clear it.
The Pain Train… Soldiers and Demomen have enough hitpoints and MORE than enough power that capping like a scout isn’t necessary. Also, who would give up the very useful Eyelander or especially awesome Equalizer for something like that?
And the Homewrecker? The Pyro flamethrower is second only to sticky bombs at sentry removal. It also has the distinct advantage of burning the engie to death at the same time… and if you can crouch behind a dispenser, the way it does damage, the sentry will die before the dispenser, and the engie will die before both. I guess maybe if you never melee anyone as a Pyro…
but yay new hats! And more sources for scrap metal!

I dunno about you guys, but I don’t care, the Homewrecker is a sledgehammer. A SLEDGEHAMMER. I never melee as Pyro anyways, so if I find one, I’m carrying it around for the sake of saying “I HAVE A SLEDGEHAMMER, FOOL. BACK UP.”
That, and imagine the humiliation of being killed with a fairly weakened melee weapon. People have been whining about it being a useless weapon, but even if it does less damage, you’re not the only person on your team, it can either finish up for someone else, or you can just use it to smack at them and run for heals. Now, for destroying buildings, again, it’s the humiliation. It’s like a scout circle-strafing a Level 3 sentry and beating it to death with a baseball bat, something I’ve almost managed, were it not for someone hitting me with a shotgun blast. It saves ammo (like anyone cares about that as pyro though), does a ton of damage to buildings apparently, and looks pretty nice. It’s the only community unlock I’ll use, so far.

The Homewrecker had better have one hell of a taunt though.

Do you get them by achievements or random drops n crafts?

Silly drop system’s given me 3 Buff Banners, 4 KGB’s, and 1 Pain Train since the update came out. Believe it or not, I actually want the Chocolate bar >_<
