Talk:Barely-Melted Capacitor

Weapon? Misc? Pre-Order Bonus?!

This MAY be a Pre-Order bonus, or a new Steam quest. It might be a Melee weapon for someone, but I don't think it would be a misc. Where would it go? --Spencer 17:06, 19 June 2012 (PDT)

It's a craft item. 16:23, 19 June 2012 (PDT)

Didn't somebody say there's 6/22 printed on it, so new info Thursday? Footlesssushi 16:31, 19 June 2012 (PDT)

It says 6.22V1300, which could be 22nd June (this Friday) at 1pm (1300 on the 24 hour clock) AGuyCalledSpyke 03:39, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

6/22 is friday. But we don't know if there'll be any new info that day. --LiquidFire 16:33, 19 June 2012 (PDT)

Has anyone looked into the Item Schema for more info yet? --Spencer 16:38, 19 June 2012 (PDT)

I put that there. Apparently someone removed it , as if they didn't want it there. --Traitor km 21:53, 19 June 2012 (PDT)

I removed it because it is speculative. For further information have a look at the trivia guidelines. Hope that helps. —Moussekateer·talk 21:54, 19 June 2012 (PDT)

Yes it does help. It was really just a speculation about Meet the Pyro coming on 6/22 --Traitor km 21:57, 19 June 2012 (PDT).

Interestingly, 22nd June 2011 was the Uber Update Day 3, the day before Meet the Medic went live, although this could be coincidental AGuyCalledSpyke 03:37, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

But may I at least say that it says 6/22? It is not a speculation. --Traitor km 22:04, 19 June 2012 (PDT)

I would say that isn't very notable. The text is very readable from the image, and the number on its own isn't interesting to note. —Moussekateer·talk 22:09, 19 June 2012 (PDT)

I found out it is not a craft item. Some people already tried crafting them in many ways. I personally think that these do not have an item type.It doesn't seem to do anything except being mysterious and interesting to ponder at. : http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/540678979879396701/65A0F79256B35FF0365305226B4A5CB920987A40/ --Traitor km 22:35, 19 June 2012 (PDT)

It is a craft item that doesn't have a recipe yet. —Moussekateer·talk 22:46, 19 June 2012 (PDT)

I smell Meet the Pyro all the way! TNS 12:05, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

the numbers could mean nothing too, 6.22v would refer to the voltage, with 1500 being the μF (microfarads) Ganomex 15:00, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

also the 07180125 on it may refer to http://www.strutpatent.com/patent/07180125/p-channel-electrically-alterable-non-volatile-memory-cell Ganomex 15:03, 20 June 2012 (PDT)

I think it was just confirmed that this is the release date of Meet the Pyro. If you look at the strange new descriptions, you see stuff like "Hellish" and all that. This is most certainly referring to the Pyro. This is it, guys! ISmile03 04:30, 21 June 2012 (PDT)

not to start an argument or anything but that is pretty weak evidence to be "confirmed", while it is probably related, it is just as likely to be something else or even valve trying to mess with us, based on what we know there will be an update soonish but it is way to early to say confirmed to be 6/22 or even pyro. I'm not saying it isn't, I'm saying its too soon to know. Ganomex 15:18, 21 June 2012 (PDT)

Agreed, that is by no means confirmation. However if you were interested, it might be wise to be by the computer at the date and time. Vide0n 21:52, 21 June 2012 (PDT)

I thought the general consensus was that given the font, it actually said 1800 rather than 1500. At roughly 1800 on that day (can't be 100% certain of the time), Pyro's blog entry appeared. I registered on the Wiki to change it, but it's changed back so thought I should confirm before getting into Wiki Tennis with someone! — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Slicksps (talk) • (contribs) 09:20, 24 June 2012

Time and Date Discrepancies

A good majority of this part is incorrect on the page as it is now:

A blog post was made by the Pyro on the TF2 Official Website on June 22, 1500 EDT. This date and time corresponds with the text on the Damaged Capacitor.

EDT zone is on the wrong side of the continent that Valve is located on. According to the blog's RSS feed itself, The post actually took place on 22 June 2012 at 2105 UTC, which, if you want to use Valve's timezone, translates to 1405 PDT. If Valve wanted to make the posting time significant in any way, especially with this supposed "clue" that the wiki is purporting, they could have simply set the time to whatever they wished manually. — C2Talon (c/t) 14:17, 26 June 2012 (PDT)

Smaller numbers trivia

If you switch the smaller numbers that are on the lower part of the Capacitor, you get: 07=G 18=R 01=A 25=Y

Worth adding to the trivia? Guil13st 14:59, 11 August 2012 (PDT)

Considering what else is going on I say yes. Toomai Glittershine 15:17, 11 August 2012 (PDT)

Don't leave me hanging

So if two people wearing this do a high five, you get a message. Might want to add this. WayTaDuck 15:48, 11 August 2012 (PDT)

The Barely-Melted Capacitor CAN be equipped in both miscellaneous slots at the same time.

I Have two melted caps on all my load-outs right now. I did it today after seeing the inforation on the new Mecha update. The punch card code was solved (http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/155p1t/the_code_in_the_mecha_update/) and i noted that the #2 line was missing. on a hunch i want and put the melted caps in each miscellaneous slots.

Still work?

Does this still work? Updates section says it doesn't. Any specific update dates? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eels (talk) • (contribs) 01:40, 10 January 2013

Equip Region

So does this item actually show up on the player model, or does it exist just to take up a loadout slot? I'm extremely curious about this. 5P4M-TP (talk) 20:08, 17 July 2015 (PDT)
