[QUOTE=Simski;23175810]I agree with this. I would not be surprised if Engineer like the Sniper, got two secondaries instead of a secondary and a melee.[/QUOTE] I'd liken it more to the Spy: the knife didn't get an unlock because it's got a very specific role and couldn't really be changed without altering the class's role. You can't replace the wrench with a guitar, the wrench is absolutely necessary for the Engineer to be the Engineer.
I seriously don't foresee us getting any new buildings this update, or the polycount one.

I'm sure they would be able to replace his wrench with something else that works the same way as the wrench but has new stats though. Perhaps we won't be getting any in this update, but I'm sure we'll be getting one when the polycount update is released.
So the hidden "laser" kill icon was for the Wrangler kills?
What if the new buildings come in a set, not individual. You equip a whole new building tool which has a new set of 4 buildings. Also if there is a guitar weapon I don't think it would replace the Wrench. Remember the Sniper/Spy update? They had multiple unlocks that used the same slot, and didn't get any new melee weapon.
Dunno if already posted, but... I think it like this with the Golden wrench, that if you kill somebody who owns it will get it, too. Like the Gibbus. That would be cool.
Interesting tactic that could come out of this. Remote sentry+Bonk scout on your team+Very high capture point=Success
Just came up with an idea. The guitar, you play it, the nearest opponents gets stunned, you beat the shit out of 'em with your guitar.
Guitar unlock is for kicking back while sentries destory everything. Supply good tunes for teammates. Raise morale.
Engie guitar taunt + Pyro exe taunt + Soldier shovel taunt = Thrash Metal Fortress 2.
This game is slowly becoming Musical Fortress 2.

Guitar could also replace the pistol, when played could raise morale? Sort of like the buff banner?

[QUOTE=Killerkyogre;23176867]The ability doesn't really fit the Engy, even if they are an offensive Engy.[/QUOTE] But what else could the guitar be used for? Unless playing it has some effect on his sentry?
Taunt
[QUOTE=1 Duck;23176894]But what else could the guitar be used for? Unless playing it has some effect on his sentry?[/QUOTE] Why would I know? Just pointing out it probably won't do that. :v:
[QUOTE=1 Duck;23176894]But what else could the guitar be used for? Unless playing it has some effect on his sentry?[/QUOTE] To summon and direct tobor.
The guitar could actually just be a taunt for one of his existing weapons, you know, like how the equalizers taunt has nothing to do with the equalizer. Because, as much as i'd love a guitar, i can't see it fitting with the engis playstyle.

Awesome :D
I exhausted this week's drop limit again
63 has gone!
[QUOTE=Omolong;23177279]63 has gone![/QUOTE] LOL, I haven't even realized 62 was gone. :v:
[QUOTE=HubmaN;23177252]I exhausted this week's drop limit again[/QUOTE] They took the drop limit off, didn't they?
I have no idea - I've been idling and not a single drop in hours.
So far I've got 10 drops with which I crafted my Vintage Tyrolean... But I haven't played further to see if I can get more.
