  • Throwing a sandvich to a teammate now earns a full bonus point (was half a point).

Bonk! changes

  • Post-use movement penalty removed.
  • Now has a re-use cooldown time, like The Sandman.

The Chargin' Target changes

  • Direct charge hit now does 50 damage + 10 per head (up to 5 heads).
  • Capped the turn rate from +left and +right while charging.

The Huntsman changes

  • Removed restriction that arrows need to be aimed before they can be lit by a Pyro.
  • Bow can now be lowered without losing the lit arrow.
  • Changed bow so you can start charging it while you're jumping, but you can't fire until you're on the ground.

  • Bots who are roaming the map and hunting now chase down their victims, following them around corners.
  • Bots That fire projectiles (ie: rockets/grenades/etc) don't hold down their fire button for a minimum time. This was causing Soldier bots to fire rockets into nearby walls as they strafed, killing themselves.
