trigger warning: you might start to reminisce about tf2's past and get depressed FAQ: Q: there's information you left out about xyz weapon! A: yes, this video is intended to document only what's now newly known from the code leak. this is not an attempt to document leaked weapons, it's more a document of what we now know as a result of the leak - specifically in regards to weapons. Q: you missed something in the code! A: welp it was bound to happen, i'd appreciate if you left a comment pointing me to what i missed :)

The catapult sounds like it would've been a teleporter replacement for medieval mode

The old catapult is actually a really cool idea and would be really fun to use!

I feel like Spy's traps would be a good excuse to take advantage of the fact that every class has a metal count, but only Engie can actually spend any by default

Spy with DNA Gun: so, you’re playing as heavy? Heavy: Yes. Spy: my class now

mini dispenser for you tiny desk engineer

The catapult could've been meant for medieval mode to give the Engineer more of a purpose in it. If that's true, then it was probably scrapped because of how little medieval mode is played.

So Valve already invented the bamboozle

The DNA gun sounds insanely interesting. Just imagine a sniper or heavy popping up behind enemy lines in spots you wish you could get to easily playing any other class.

So, we finally found the reason for the red mvm bots.

Finally, an item that forces spies to play a different class. Now we just need one for snipers.

The dynamite sapper reminds me of how it works in "Meet the spy" where he slides the sapper across the floor and it causes the sentry to blow up

The medic's old crossbow actually sounds like it could be a much more interesting weapon after a few changes.

Somehow the source code leak turned out to be one of the best events in TF2 as player can get more information about the game and the depression of the devs lol.

Next video: every unreleased update hidden within TF2’s code leak

11:01 "repulsor: you already seem to be doing this IRL though" Low blow, man :(

I assume the mortar's "full tracking" would essentially be like the rpg from Half-Life 2, where the projectile constantly follows your crosshair.

Some of these seem like legitimately great ideas to shake up the meta, it's a shame that most of these will never see the light of day.

imagine how annoying 1 catapult and 11 trickstabbing spies would be

10:08 "The trap has no effect on human players." Why would you need that when you have autobalance?

MvP Spy: I never really was on your side... MvM Spy: *YiPeE-kAy-YaY*

The DNA gun could be powerful. You're able to take the uber of a medic and possibly use it against the other team.

The mini dispenser sounds cool, like a clutch way to heal your team when your medic is nonexistent or dead

Seeing the last spy watch, I do wonder if it was related to the spy watch I had submitted a model for back in the early days of contribute. I recall speaking with a TF2 developer at the time. And funnily enough this mechanic was the gimmick I had suggested with my mod (phasing through enemies). I called it Le fantôme. (The ghost) Thank you for digging all of this up!

3:30 I think that they could've balanced this out by having the rocket automatically explode after 4-6 seconds or by being able to launch only a few rockets at a time

I can imagine the airblast catapult could've been too easily used for trolling.

The DNA Gun sounds like a really cool idea! But I also get the feeling it would be broken or OP somehow...

As a Spy main, I would've loved some of those weapons, especially the one that changes you to the class you killed. Just imagine finding a pocketed Heavy and turning around to mow down the Medic. All the possibilities with that knife...

3:26 "evidently to spread peace and friendship to places otherwise impossible to reach" is an underappreciated line. I'm glad I noticed it.

Hi shounic. When I was researching the TF2's code I stumbed upon some more information about the mini dispenser. Acording to some parts of the code, it was supposed to deal damage when being destroyed based on how much metal was stored in it, dealing 300 damage at max when full. I think it's a pretty interesting (and overpowered) mechanic and it deserves a mention. You can always contact me if you want some more information about where to find the code responsible for that.

That alternate version of the crossbow seems a lot more fun to use, since healing team mates has a cool down it could maybe encourage other medic primaries to be used instead of just the cross bow 24/7

"Sniper rifle that somehow can see enemy outline" Every sniper in a mile radius: ill take your entire stock

2:25 I want to see that design in the game, who wouldn't want to see a sanitary pad flying around?

Sooo the Engineer vs Spy update couldve been a thing? :o

I think the Trap Builder was meant to be a watch replacement, and that the Reprogrammer was meant to be an extra for MvM- sort of like the Extra Sentry or Heavy's Rage. Probably, it would've consumed cloak- let's say a full meter to build, and recharged over 20 seconds.

Judging by the name, I can only assume the repulsor is the pulse magnet's counterpart, having a windy effect and pushing all players back within the vacinity.

Magnificent job, man. I enjoyed every single second of the video.

man tf2 really has a truly dedicated fan base that is still talking about it even though the game is years old now. *that's dedication!*

Bro we almost had Halo: Reach hologram in TF2 I'm so sad

10:29 So that's why there are Red versions of the robots in the files!

The concept of the DNA gun sounds cool af, but holy crap that could've turned spy into a menace if used correctly, suddenly becoming a demoman or an aditional medic could be op , more with spies that know how to trickstab. i wonder if that gun could have boosted spy usages in competitive 6v6 or be banned on both 6v6 and highlander

the effort u put in transitions and motion on even the simplest of things are so good and ur style is so clean. very cute. keep it up king

I think Valve recycled the code to give Medic's primary the ability to provide the milk effect described at 4:48 to allow you to buy the milk syringe upgrades in MvM.

I really like how you recreate the weapons and give comparisons to the stats

Interestingly enough, there's also a lot of evidence suggesting that the Thermal Thruster could be activated while not even out by pressing the Special Attack key, and could have even been all-class. There's also lots of references to rd_asteroid and how the Thermal Thruster shouldn't apply fall damage to enemies while in a low-gravity environment.

3:25 love how concerned heavy is looking at his default-textured boxing gloves in that transition

4:10 this is what definition of airstrike

Someone actually recreated that spy's watch. It's called Le Phantom. As a spy main I can say, that I need this watch.

7:56 This mechanic would be absolutely broken in competitively play, especially in the RGL league, and even in pubs if you have a coordinated team. Imagine backstabbing a medic with uber and then popping it and your team pushes at the same time. It's a free uber.

That spy DNA gun actually sounds like a good idea if you change back to a spy on the spot after being killed by the DNA gun. Though the spy itself needs to be fixed to not be so OP first.

Those videos are *so well made*, it's a pleasure to watch them. I particularly love the information summaries and the way they're animated!

I appreciate all the discoveries in the source code leak, unfortunate (and fortunate) that some of these ideas never made it to the game. Mini dispenser and the speed boost building, for example, were simple and effective ideas that could have added great value to the game.

0:36 Goes well with my Tiny Desk Engineer

they need to make a medieval mode building set for Engineer. The Catapult would be a teleporter replacement

6:35 the ambassador’s cooler brother

I'm sorry, all I hear from the background music is "-emia, meaning presence in blood"

Can you imagine all the cool stuff you could do with the catapult?

10:49 I might be late but I have an idea about it: UPGRADES: Unsaps any friendly building within 2 secs and it gives damage resistance of 25% to it. DOWNGRADES It has the same HP as the Red Tape Recorder and it has a reload time of 5 secs. That's my theory tough! I hope you like it! Edit: The life of the repulsor is that when it gets shoot by any class it gets destroyed almost instantly and it lefts the damage reduction for 3 secs. That's all!

Some of these were pretty cool I imagine an explosive sapper would work like this •Damages any players or buildings close to the one it's used on, making it sorta dangerous to remove it •Is basically just a timed bomb that you tape onto enemy buildings, so does no damage until it explodes, making the rescue ranger basically useless against it, but also making the strategy of placing a sapper and shooting at it useless, while adding the new strategy of shooting buildings in the blast zone while waiting for it •Takes longer than a normal sapper to kill, because whoever made it used a type of string that doesn't burn very fast •Doesn't disable the building while it's being "sapped" which can be good or bad depending on when they decide to use the teleporter •Can damage the user, if they get close enough to it •It's literally just some dynamite you tape to stuff, so activates when the heavy with a huo long heater sees you after teleporting and doesn't realize he's standing on dynamite

The catapult would actually be great for all of the final points where there's no point in setting up a teleporter because the spawn room is already right outside the point.

The spy traps sound so interesting and it seems like they could be used in such creative ways. For example the cloak trap could be used to get a heavy medic combo behind enemy lines

I would definitely love those spy traps probably as a replacement for sappers, because having a tool that works only against a specific class the Spy isn't even that good against (The Demoman and the Soldier are much more serious threats to the Engie) is the reason he's so goddamn weak. Plus it would give alternate playstyles to the Spy as well, something he lacks dramatically.

10:02 Spy is an actual support class now huh

Strange how the catapult and speed pad buildings are extremely similar to those implemented into HiGPS's balance mod, seemingly independent of each other. Especially because we apparently knew nothing of their existence before? Either way if you haven't played with them before on the mod, they are much better than you might think.

Ok the decoy thing is surprising to see since that was something I heard somebody talk about for a weapon concepts video I saw years ago.

The spy dna revolver is stupid op But the trap thing was *interesting*

came here outta curiosity, stayed for the delivery of content and the amazing editing flow good job :)

I really hope that some of these weapons such as the Catapult, Speed Pad, DNA Gun and Dynamite Sapper gets added into TF2 in the foreseeable future in a major update after the possible Heavy Update. These weapons could easily be put into a future Engineer vs Spy Update like what some of the code in TF2 was hinting to but instead got the Heavy vs Pyro War instead.

This is a mega bruh moment on valves part

The Repulsor would probably act like a sort of airblast, where it would periodically send out a pulse in a short radius every now and then that slightly pushes back projectiles and/or enemies. Simply because of the word "repulse". Which means to drive back something, or someone.

For the spy things, I can guess the Decoy would replace your cloak, since it draws attention away from you like a dead ringer. The traps would probably replace the sapper, since the sapper also works in a similar sense. They probably wouldn't cost anything, just have a recharge, like the mvm sapper.

You might start to reminisce he said he said you might get depressed little did he know we have arleady been depressed.

Some of these concepts are so cool, to bad these will probably never see the light of day.

I like how the what seems to be a seat to the image he used for the speed pad is just pyros thermal thrusters with a tam-pon on It 3:02

Coming back to this video, I like the phasing cloak, it's always sad when you run into an enemy cloaked and it reveals your position, though I'd nerf it and if you cloak inside an enemy player, YOU DIE, not them, cause otherwise I feel like its unfair lmao

2:38 lmao the picture for it is literally a pad

1:38 that would be my primary building to build first... That and it would cause an entire warzone but with people yeeting themselves in the air at each other... So many possibilities of stupid ideas lmao

that dna gun is an incredibly interesting idea. the catapult building also sounds like it'd be really fun to play around with

Spy's changin class ability is CRAZY, imagine not just pretending but becoming different class! Like the heavy pushing cart, spy killing him and now CHAOS

The Decoy would be an interesting weapon. I’ve played Halo and it basically is the same thing as the Hologram. So while it wouldn’t be always convincing, it could act as a good enough temporary distraction for an Engie nest. Also bomb sappers are cool ideas

8:39 in x1000 it would deal over 2 million dmg lol

Imagine building up 20+ heads with your demo just for a invisi boi in a corner to steal it all for himself

Catapult Has a range in which you can place an X, when walking over the catapult you will be launched to the X, both can be destroyed by enemies

it would be interesting to see the reprogram thingy in the actual game. imagine being able to reprogram a teleporter for your own team to use or a sentry to shoot the enemy team

8:24 Me, a demo main : YES YES YES

The way how you present your explanations with those animations are really cool.

I can see the Spy turning into a Medic just to waste the Über as a way to make fun of him

7:40 “My favorite class is the spy.”

"fling players when they step on me :3" pathOwOgen is spreading

The Explosive Mastermind (Dynamite Zapper) [My suggestion] Upsides - After zapping, creates a big explosion, causing high damage. (Hitkill) Does not warn the engineer when zapped. Does not make 'energy effect' when zapping. +60% explosion radius (compared to LVL 3 Sentry Rockets.) +100% explosion damage (compared to normal Rocket.) Downsides - Sentry does not get deactivated -50% Zapper health. (Gets hitkilled by every wrench) Takes longer to finish zapping. (7 seconds or 10 seconds) -100% Damage to the building. (Only damages when zapping is finished) Has to recharge for 5 seconds after use. Makes a beep noise when zapping. My strat: You are basically a TR from Counter Strike. Zap something, and hold your ground, and when it finishes zapping, everyone dies. (Also, you'll technically tuxedo terrorist, now all you have to do is lobster dance.)

I fucking love the concept of the mortar launcher. Like imagine an enemy soldier just stops attacking you but you hear him firing and then you look up to see 500 missiles coming down on you at the same time

I was hoping DNA gun would disguise enemies as your teammates and enable friendly fire.

3:40 It does not go like a rocket because we already have rockets that go like a rocket because that is what they are.

1:09 So THAT'S where they got the idea for the jump pad in TF2 Classic...

Imagine playing the objective and seeing a flying heavy reved up while going directly at you with the catapult

3:56 COD BO2 Announcer: Hellstorm Missile inbound.

8:18 golden

Fun fact: On any server running the balance mod which basically changes a ton of useless weapons for the best. Both the speed pad and catapult are buildable with any wrench!

"Pulse MAGNET?" Yeah, it definitely sounds like you could use that in MvM, especially with a lot of bots around, to draw them closer to a sentry or reset their position.

1:15 Could be nice in medieval mode.
