New feature : Weapon exchange and pick up. Weapons dropped by killed players can no longer be picked up for ammo. Killed players will now also drop a medium ammo box. Players that can normally equip the dropped weapon (proper class) can look at the weapon and press the 'action key' to exchange it with what they have equipped. The player's equipped weapon will be dropped on the exchange.
Inspect Target has been changed to Inspect Target or Item. While having a decorated weapon deployed with no target under the cross hair and then pressing the bound inspect key (+inspect) , an interruptible view model animation will play.
Random Damage Spread is off by default (ConVar tf_damage_disablespread is set to 1).
Auto reload is on by default (ConVar cl_autoreload 1). Existing users will still use their currently set value. This setting can be changed under Advance Options or through the developer console.
Updated various weapon descriptions to better detail the weapon's features.

Buying a $5.99 Campaign Pass lets you test your TF mettle against a series of weekly challenges, and gives you the chance to earn one-of-a-kind >weapons to keep or trade with your friends
That is just grody. Free to play turning into pay every time you want to play something.
Quit yer bitchin'. Don't play if you don't like it . I've dumped tons of money into playing TF2 MvM with my friends and have zero regrets. The memories I make playing this game for the last 8 years of my life (not to mention the priceless and irreplaceable friendships) are worth more than they could ever possibly charge. They could bill me for a thousand bucks for past enjoyment and I'd pay it. No game in my life has done more for me, personally, and for this community, than TF2

Whoa though; big nerf to Loch n Load. Bobbydigi do you know if bots are considered "buildings"?
As far as I know, no. But this is a pretty big nerf to Demo MvM if they are not.

Paid 100% cosmetic update is cosmetic. All game play changes in this update are Free as they have been for the last 2+ years. You going to stop playing because other people have painted guns? No, you're going to have a blast picking up other people's guns and killing them with their own guns.... for free.
And then you are going to get mad Jelly and either break down and pay the $5.99 or I'll buy it for you because like it or not you are part of this TF2 community and we want to shoot you with your newly painted Instant Karma Mk. VII. Deal With It.
So they unnerfed heavy, made my tide turner loadout viable again, and nerfed most of my troll loadouts. Someone should make an icrontic event for us to play all this fancy new stuff tonight.
I got my first week/contract weapons. Minigun and rocket launcher. Sold the minigun promptly while prices were still high. Both were the minimum quality or whatever. I like the rocket launcher. Could have sold it for nearly $2.00 but I kept it, because soldier stuff. I'm anxiously awaiting next week Hopefully we can all play together. The new maps are a blast.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand I'm hooked on TF2 for another 3+ months.
So you can now temporarily loot weapons off other players and use them? If so what's the point in crafting/ trading/ drop farming anymore?
Snake?
