The last golden wrench has been found! Quick, someone create a mash-up of that one scene from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and Team Fortress 2!
The Engineer update is out, and while I strongly urge you to just go play it right now, I guess I’m contractually obligated to be slightly more informative than that. Since we last checked in, a few developments have been made, such as the maps “Hightower” and “Thunder Mountain” (terrific name).
More importantly, there’s “the Gunslinger,” a replacement for the standard wrench. This robotic hand causes Engineers to drop cost-effective, miniaturized sentries instead of the normal ones. They are cute, and should freshen up Engineer strategies for the coming weeks. Read more here, or simply boot up TF2.
