The Speed Pad, also referred as "Speed Teleporter"[1] is a scrapped Engineer building that would supposed to grant temporary speed boost effect[2] (similar to Disciplinary Action or Concheror one) to any teammate player who touched it. This building would be cheaper than standard Teleporter on 25 metal[3], which equals 100 metal before July 7, 2016 Patch of Meet Your Match update and 25 after it, and also would be influenced by teleporter build and upgrade cost modifiers, such as Eureka Effect one[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:
