Major Update Speculation XXVI: Much Ado About Nothing
5,023 replies, posted
So valve buffed the Dead Ringer, atleast for me. The speed boost lets you outrun pyro flames, and you can get to so many places so quickly it's incredibly difficult to be tracked.
I used to never use the DR because it was so much worse than stock cloak, but now i'm gonna use it a lot more.
[QUOTE=protox;48118065]What a mess.
How do people get these killstreaks, are they simply drops?[/QUOTE]
Completing a 2shitties tour, as usual. Instead of a worthless Unarmed Combat or Big Kill spec fabricator, you'll get a blank spec killstreaks fabricator that you construct as normal. I've got one, I'll be applying it to my unusual as soon as I get a chance.
Economy breaking drops and I can't even play the game without instantly crashing, fuck.
I put it on my unusual as well. Nothing fancy happened, but if its a pro killstreak...it will work with every weapon...my god. Yeah, this is going to make some really fuckin EXPENSIVE unusuals soon.

Woulda been cooler if the sheen worked.
Can anyone find the EOTL, Borneo, or Suijin props anywhere in the game files?
I can't find them anywhere.
I'm surprised they managed to fix a game-breaking bug and create another one in less than 24 hours.
[QUOTE=Druidlyclean;48118128]Am I the only one who cant find the EOTL, Borneo, or Suijin props anywhere in the game files?[/QUOTE]
The props are directly compiled into the map files themselves.
As posted in the official patch notes:
[QUOTE]vbsp now accepts -embed as an optional path to look for map resources. These resources will be used by the compile and embedded into the resultant BSP.
[/QUOTE]
Aside from this making shipping maps much simpler, I imagine having user made map props easily available for others to use in their maps would pose some major legal problems if those maps got accepted into the game from the workshop.

I can't find them anywhere.[/QUOTE]
I think they just added the maps with the content still packed into them instead of unpacking it properly.
I tested my KS unusual with all stock weapons.
It did NOT count killstreak.

What happens if you have a pro ks hat and a pro ks weapon at once?
[QUOTE=Trekintosh;48118239]What happens if you have a pro ks hat and a pro ks weapon at once?[/QUOTE]
No idea.
I don't wanna spend $85 on a pro kit to have it not work.
Bought Spec. KS fabricator and all parts required, can't use cause market purchases untradable for a week. I am silly.
RIP dream of killstreak summer shades.
[QUOTE=Creeper;48118081]Apparently you can also use Eyelander Killstreak kits on the Headless Horsemann Axe, wonder if there are any other reskins that work like that.[/QUOTE]
Proof?

I guess it's not as bad as I thought. If the glitched killstreaks do not count kills or provide any extra effect on hats/cosmetics, then it's just some extra text. I don't it will spike the prices of rare items all that much.
[QUOTE=Creeper;48118272]Bought Spec. KS fabricator and all parts required, can't use cause market purchases untradable for a week. I am silly.[/QUOTE]
There is a little check box that allows you to fabricate with temporary untradable items, your item will simply be untradable temporarily (but still marketable). I made a Professional Killstreak Black Rose Kit today so had encountered the same issue.
[B]Also there is a bug right now, if u list on market it removes all temporary trade restrictions.[/B]
Saw this on 4chan:

Would be nice if they added the sheens to the hats to the people that spent money applying the kits, then fixed it. Suddenly the people that did this will have truly one-of-a-kind unusuals, including me! :v:

My first post, too bad they don't actually sheen though. (i am somewhat afraid valve will fix it and revert things)
I actually really want a Triclops but I don't want to grind SMNC for it.
Could somebody do me a solid and try killstreakifying a Triclops to see if it could be sold on market? I'd pay you $30 for it.

Send help this update is broken as fuck
Used a glitched specialized kit on a glitched normal quality flame thrower
[T]http://i.imgur.com/gaGP1iS.png[/T]
in case anyone was wondering, you can apply the bugged killstreak kits to weapons that don't get them (wrangler, rocket jumper, etc) and they'll have visible sheens. i couldn't get a decent screenshot, but you can see a little bit of manndarin on the radar dish part

I knew it was worth keeping this thing around.
somebody waste $30 and put a specialized kill streak kit on another specialized kill streak kit
What exactly is the point in the bonus cp after completing a contract? Because apparently the reason my game keeps crashing is because I have two completed contracts that I haven't redeemed, but I wanted to complete the bonuses before redeeming them.

You need more CP to level up your coin to bronze, gold.
I wouldnt really risk putting a KS on hats/items that does not have a KS. :v:
[QUOTE=Hypervelocity;48118499]I wouldnt really risk putting a KS on hats/items that does not have a KS. :v:[/QUOTE]
Why? Valve broke kits, causing ones that work on any item to be rewarded in mvm. They would literally never punish players for using kits on any item considering they caused the items to come into existence.
