OH MY GOODNESS WOW (now onto a more srs note) cool find dude and woo

 

I found that page... Well I need to craft something tomorow.

 

Clever

 

All this crafting in vain : http://www.tf2items.com/id/Mole45

 

They just trying to keep their players(customers) going.

It base on luck.

soon or later they give it out for all, or make it a craft item.

 

New gun.
Frontier Justice
-50% magazine
No random crits
+2 crits for every kill sentry gets, +1 per assist.
When sentry is destroyed, engineer recieves bonus crits.

Sounds like a pretty good sidegrade to me, I think I'm gonna be using it.

Damn the metal stuff isn't gonna work.

 

This is so F'in unfair...if you dont have any stuff to craft your screwed, becuase they just disabled the reclaimed and refined uncrafting -.-
That means I'm probably gonna sacrifice some of my guns =/
Or maybe i won't because the chance is so small

 

Lol I think im just gonna craft everything. Vanilla tf2 is bearable.
y/n?

 

I think I'm gonna craft everything I never use just to try get 1 :3
Maybe i'm ready to craft my pyro hat on thursday then

 

I cant tell if its on a per day basis from the blug tho. Time to wait for wrench 26 to be found. And I'm contemplating whether its actually worth it. I mean god knows im not gonna get one with the thousands that play tf2.

 

Nope totally not worth it IMO. The chance is so very slim. Just craft what you have spare.

 

Yeah that's my reasoning for not. I'm just gonna craft like i normally do and just hope to get lucky.
(Only dupes)

 

Every day 25 wrenches. Every 25 wrenches 1 item. Valve saving best for last as usual IMO. hurr

 

That shotgun seems pretty awesome.

I can see myself purposefully building bad sentries to get crits.

 

You don't even need to place them badly calump, it says if you destroy them 2 on the engi update page aswell.
Atleast i think it's there

Edit: Yup (either through enemy action or self-destruct)

 

Yeah, I know, but I've got a great image in my head: just after a choke point, me on one side, my sentry (level 1) on the other. The enemies walk through, turn to take out my sentry first and when they do I crit them in the back.

Who needs a stupid miscoloured wrench when you've got a weapon like this? And I've got ragdolls turned off so I wouldn't even see the statues.

 

For anybody who feels like crafting away all their items, a new day has started in wrench dropping
