Team Fortress 2 Brings On Timbuk Tuesday

Team Fortress 2 Brings On Timbuk Tuesday

None

Day two of the Team Fortress 2 Über Update is live, with a brand new theme for two more classes. While we saw Mobster Monday for the Heavy and the Spy, we are now seeing Timbuk Tuesday for the Sniper and the Demoman. Having a more “Arabian nights” sort of feel, this update has something that most gamers have a great fondness for—Swords!

The Shahanshah is the sword that the Sniper will be getting, which gives you a hefty damage boost when your health is low, and an unfortunate damage nerf when your health is high. The Demoman gets the Persian Persuader, which makes your shield charge meter charge twice as fast. It also turns all ammo pickups into health pickups for you, as you will probably be spending most of your time in melee range.



The Demoman will also receive a new shield and pair of shoes in this update as well. The Splendid Screen gives the wearer twenty-five percent fire damage resistance, twenty percent more explosive damage resistance, a seventy percent increase in charge impact damage, and has the unique ability to deal impact damage at any range. Ali Baba’s Wee Booties, on the other hand, increase the Demoman’s health by twenty-five points, and give him double-turning control while charging, making charging his primary means of attack.

The Sniper only gets one other item called the Bazaar Bargain. This secondary sniper rifle increases the rifle’s charge speed by +10 per second. However, body shots reduce the bonus and missed shots actually produce a -20 charge penalty. Simply put, this gun is for pros only.
