April Fools 2023 ideas (patch notes, pages, videos, etc.)
Contents
Guidelines
Everything should settled on and ready by March 31. Take all the time you need until then to discuss, organize, and put together everything you'd like to show up in the fake update.
Please try to avoid the following:
- New weapons or balance changes that are based on actual problems with TF2
- Bug fixes or game changes that address actual TF2 problems
- Anything regarding matchmaking or promised features
Try to make something that is very obviously a joke update, it's better to go over the top than to be subtle. It's okay to make fun of other Valve games, as long as it's done in jest rather than out of malice.

Yossef's ideas
These are my ideas so far, might add more in the future.
April 1st, 2023 Patch Notes:
- Introducing Season Pass:
- New unlockable skins for your mercenaries, including brand new and definitely never-seen-before female models! 5 | 0
- Restored unused Heavy voice line (or if its too NSFW, then use this instead). 1 | 0
Yossef • Talk 14:13, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- Support I like the season pass idea, we've done similar things in the past and I'd like to see more feature ideas added to it. In combination with BrazilianNut's idea of referencing the Search for the Sandvich, the season pass should give access to an all-new singleplayer questline to search for the Sandvich. As for the unused voice line, it's a bit too NSFW for the Wiki but I like the alternative one.

GrampaSwood's ideas
- Added new Wiki features:
- Wiki BLU: Adds a checkmark next to the user's name for only 5 refined a month! Gone are the days of the Manne of Hats and Smelly Unfortunates. (A play on the new Twitter Blue feature, as well as the Tweet from Musk about the lords and peasant system) 2 | 0
- Wiki Australium: Gift a user Wiki Australium for 10 refined. Users with Wiki Australiums can bypass edit protections, are allowed to vandalise up to 1 page per month, and get to display a cool badge on their profile. (A play on Reddit's Gold feature) 1 | 0
Patch notes:
- Renamed the "Persian Persuader" to "Iranian Persuader" to enforce the 1935 request of the Iranian government. 0 | 0
- "Coal Pit" and "Coal Town" have been renamed to "Solar Pit" and "Windmill Town" in accordance with the 2015 Paris Climate Accords. 0 | 0

- These are fun, but I think they'd have to be in a different place than a patch page. We'd need to do some neat CSS for it, like when we had that Windows 95 skin. Plus, I think those prices are too small - a key is like, 70 ref now, and they're a pretty decent monetary baseline. If Twitter can charge eight dollars for a checkmark, I think we can gouge a bit more than a few cents for ours. — 14:33, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- That is true, although I wanted to avoid using keys due to the Wiki's policy on community-attributed value. I think the price for these can definitely go up, however, they're just placeholder for now.

- I like these ideas, but I just think they should be about the game, not the wiki. - BrazilianNut (talk) 14:51, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- We could implement these ideas similarly to how we've done them in the past, with a box in the corner advertising it and with its own page explaining the benefits.

Andrew360's ideas
- Added Crasher to Competitive Mode 2 | 0
- Removed a polygon from Pryo's finger 5 | 0
- Smelting class weapons can now produce a Golden Frying Pan 3 | 0
- Fixed a server crash relating to the Observer 5 | 0
- Players with a level 100 Operation Two Cities Badge can no longer use text chat 0 | 2
Andrew360 21:40, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
- I like all of these, although the last one may be a bit controversial considering that the no inspecting on non-party-members change was poorly received.

ShadowMan's ideas
- Flamethrower Airblast now works on bullets 5 | 0
- Players hit in the crotch with the Sandman ball are now marked for death 2 | 0
- Added new class: TFC Medic (known as Combat Medic in the class selection menu) 1 | 0
- All all-class cosmetics now have a TFC Medic variant
- Added Medic domination voice lines 3 | 1
- Added Badlands (Capture the Flag) into casual 0 | 4
- Added Australium Sun on a Stick 3 | 1
- Added BLU team texture variant to the Disguise Kit 0 | 4
ShadowMan44 (talk) 04:47, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
- I like them, although I think the TFC Medic one could be changed to Battle Medic rather than just adding TFC Medic. The patch notes for the Disguise Kit may just be too much of a thing people would actually like.

ThatHatGuy's ideas
- New special taunt: Corolla Corral, a Victory Lap style 2008 Toyota Corolla, that teammates can get inside for group transport 3 | 0
- Updated the Deflector 2 | 0
- Can now shoot weapons out of players' hands, knocking them away
- Dropped weapons can be picked up from the ground by any player

- Deflector Heavies now have 600% Knockback Rage, and spawn with full meter 1 | 1
- Added Moustachium weapons, craftable with Moustachium Bars 4 | 0
- Visually identical to regular versions of the weapons, but while equipped, the classes sport a gigantic moustache
- Added several crafting recipes to fabricate Moustachium weapons
Due to an error with the recipes, each weapon requires 66 Moustachium Bars, rather than the intended 6, rendering them unable to be crafted.

- Undocumented changes
- Removed Tom Jones from the game files. 4 | 0
FYI: That's what I could suggest now. Maybe I should ask my colleagues after a while? -- X BEUFK-Contributions-Talk 06:27, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- I'm a bit confused as to what the first Pyro voice lines one means.
GrampaSwood (talk) 13:26, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- Originally It is "Multi-language voice lines" support. But I thought It may defy the guideline? -- X BEUFK-Contributions-Talk 13:32, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
- Ah, that's fine. I think that's actually a pretty funny.
