The Speed Pad, also referred to as "Speed Teleporter"[1], is a scrapped Engineer building that would supposed to grant temporary speed boost effect[2] to any teammate player who touched it. This building would be cheaper than standard Teleporter at 25 metal[3] and would also be influenced by Teleporter build and upgrade cost modifiers, such as the Eureka Effect[4]. Upgrade cost is also reduced to fixed (and therefore not influenced by any teleporter upgrade cost modifiers) 100 metal[5]. Upgrade level would affect recharge time[6] and effect duration[7]:

Buiding level Recharge time Effect duration
1 1.67 4
2 1.33 5
3 1 6

This building was referenced in a modification to the tf/scripts/game_sounds_weapons.txt file in the December 8, 2014 Patch (End of the Line Update). The following code was added to the file:

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ //
// SPEEDPAD
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ //
"Building_Speedpad.Boost"
{
  "channel"   "CHAN_STATIC"
  "volume"    "1.0"
  "soundlevel"  "SNDLVL_74dB"
  "wave"      ")weapons/speed_pad.wav"
}
