Notes
When switching between weapons, there is a .67 second delay before the new weapon can be fired. Some weapons, when equipped, can extend or shorten this delay, and apply to all weapons equipped at the time:
- The Degreaser reduces this time by 65%, to .2345 seconds.
- The Reserve Shooter reduces this time by 15%, to .5695 seconds.
- The Fists of Steel increase this time by 20%, to .804 seconds.
Due to odd quirks of the item system, some weapons display in different slots:
- The Demoman's Primary and Secondary slots are reversed.
- The Spy's Primary slot is displayed as Secondary.
- The Spy's Electro Sapper, like the Engineer's toolbox, doesn't have a slot and is therefore not interchangeable with any other item.
- The Spy's PDA2 slot is displayed as PDA.
These quirks do not affect gameplay, but have a bearing on crafting blueprints.
* Note: N/D: No Damage. - N/A: Not Available. - HP: Health. - sec.: Seconds. - N/R: No Range. - ∞: Unlimited.
Weapon availability
See also: Item quality distribution
- Stock weapons are always available.
- Unlockable weapons are obtainable via achievements, crafting, trading, buying, or the drop system.
- Craftable weapons are obtainable via crafting, trading, or the drop system.
- Promotional weapons require participation in Valve promotions, and are otherwise unobtainable in-game.
- Any combination of the latter two may have his own rules of distribution. For example, the Scout's Sun-on-a-Stick, despite being craftable, does not drop; however, the Fan O'War does.
- Distributed weapons are distributed for participating in Valve contests or events, such as the First Annual Saxxy Awards.
