This update is 100% created by the TF2 community. And when we say everything, we mean everything—the in-game content, the update hub website, the animated short, the comic, even the splash images in the Steam store. Even better, everything you created avoided the classic trap of using other companies’ intellectual property.

  • In the older version, the Scout Robot uses a forked crowbar while in the newer version, it doesn't.
  • The Football Helmet is seen in the crate in the new version, unlike the old version which shows it after the camera angle changes.
  • More lighting effects and hay detail are in the new version.
  • The newer version has more detail on the Football Helmet when robotizing it.
