So.. the next weapon unveiled for the Team Fortress 2 sniper update is the Razorback, which is specifically designed to prevent backstabbing.
The post doesn’t explicitly say as much, but I suspect you can sap this Razorback. Otherwise, how will you be able to defeat it as a spy? I’ll have to start paying attention to sniper hangouts, as well, to see where the nearest place they can refresh the Razorback is located. If a nearby ammopack can replace the Razorback, I’ll have to be sure to grab that ammopack right before I try anything.
It seems like it is going to replace the SMG, although that’s not officially known yet. I don’t think it will replace the kukri, as the other updates have all shown that the melee weapon upgrade is a very similar weapon, such as the bonesaw/ubersaw or fists/KGB.
I’ve got a lot to say about this, but I’m going to hold it for the Jarate Sandvich podcast that we will be recording tonight. The usual gang will be there, we are hoping to begin recording at 7PM PST, but you can always keep an eye on us on Stickam to find out for sure when we go live. Just go to our Winehouse Factory site and click the link to watch live.
I’m sure this discussion will be quite passionate, as I am highly affected by this. Plus, we still have to talk about the new maps and the Huntsman bow.
Check us out on Stickam, or download the podcast once it’s available.
