HorribleJames said:was this comic by the penny arcade artist? sorta looks like his style. sorry if already mentioned.
Or maybe there are two sets of people, set X and set Y, and set X were fighting hard and being team players, and set Y were fighting while sitting around pressing the craft it button, and set X got all 100 wrenches, and set Y was enraged and the memories of set X was engraved on set Y's hearts as on the list!TouchMyBox said:on the wrench page, it implies that those who have wrenches were hitting the "craft it" button.
TF2 class update + WC final weekend = worst timing ever .ColtraineGF said:So, assuming they are giving out 25 wrenches a day through random magic...
Today: 1-25
Tueday: 26-50
Wednesday: 51-75
Thursday: 76-100
It would end on a Thursday, so...Engineer Update Thursday, with accompanying free weekend?
please please please

Diablohead said:Is it me of has a lot of items had a buggy drop or released early? such as the crit-a-cola and other misc weapons you can craft, seems fishy.
No, what actually happened is three people in completely random servers received it and the game announces each wrench drop to every server connected to steam.Heavy's Sandvich said:Three people in the server I was playing in received the Golden Wrench.
But that's just the pyro for one team, back then! Does this take into account cloning/reviving after Lincoln got killed for the first time in battle (perhaps by a heavy)? Was it only for one team, and the opposing team had, say, Calamity Jane as the pyro?EmCeeGramr said:Code:TF2 CANONICAL BACKSTORY

Those of you who spent the weekend Tokyo drift-racing your way to a rap battleor whatever it is people do when they go outside on the weekendprobably feel pretty good about yourselves right now. At the end of the day, though, what do you have to show for it? Vague memories of changing lanes. Twenty-five of the people who wisely chose to stay home and craft items, on the other hand, now have shiny new ultra-rare golden wrenches that they can keep. For a weekend? No. For a lifetime. Eat it, drift-racers. Eat all of it.
Luckily for you wrenchless unfortunates, there's still time to get one. A further 75 golden wrenches can be found through crafting all this week*. We'll also be teasing Engie's new weapons (the first of which, the revenge-critting Frontier Justice,, is currently on display)with all of this culminating in the long-awaited Engineer Update this Thursday!
*Note that we've disabled the Smelt Reclaimed Metal & Smelt Refined Metal recipes. They'll work again once the Engineer Update goes live.

- 50% less ammo capacity
- no random crits
+ gets 'revenge crits'
+ 2 crits for each kill sentry does, + 1 crit for each assist
+ bonus crits when sentry is destroyed
Sounds.. quite powerful really..
pretty much what I am going to do tonight :lolevlcookie said:Damn i need to play tf2 so i can get a wrench.
Just noticed the shotgun. I expect engineers on the front lines spamming shotguns :lol
EmCeeGramr said:That shotgun seems a bit overpowered. I guess the fact that most engies stay in one place helps, but I'm not seeing any real tradeoff.

V_Ben said:the fact that there are less shots could be seen to mean that you have to be more careful when taking them. maybe? I don't play much, so i could be wrong.

Yea, that sounds like the best strategy ever, a engineer building a sentry, destroying it, and then rushing in with a single shotgun crit shot... :lol :lol :lol :lol :lolflipping_heck said:Yeah, don't like the fact that if your sentry is destroyed (even if you destroy it yourself), you still get bonus crits so you can always, build, then destroy sg, then rush in with pretty much a guaranteed shotgun crit
The_Technomancer said:How does Valve, through a few comics and videos, create a more compelling universe and characters then most games do in their entirety?
evlcookie said:The wrenches are via crafting?
Ah ffs!

I actually like the sound of the weapon, might make me play engineer more often as well.
