— The Demoman LARPing with his imaginary shield
|
” |
The Heraldic Targe is a scrapped secondary weapon for the Demoman. It was added to the game files in the December 23, 2010 Patch and removed entirely in the January 9, 2014 Patch. In a 2025 Source Filmmaker leak, the model for the Heraldic Targe was found. It is visually similar to the Chargin' Targe, but without the splintered-off piece. The inside of the shield is entirely white and would have been where the decal could have been applied.[1]
It is unclear how the weapon would have functioned, although it is highly likely that it would have been similar to the Chargin' Targe.
Filename strings for a Chargin' Targe with support for the Decal Tool were later found in some .lst
files from the December 17, 2010 Patch when the cp_degrootkeep.lst
file in the tf\reslists
folder was added:
"tf\materials\models\weapons\c_items\c_targe_user.vmt" "tf\materials\models\weapons\c_items\c_targe_user.vtf" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.ani" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.dx80.vtx" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.dx90.vtx" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.jpg" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.mdl" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.phy" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.sw.vtx" "tf\models\weapons\c_models\c_targe\c_targe_user.vvd"
The Chargin' Targe's c_model
(normal and festive) files are located in tf/models/weapons/c_models/c_targe/
, where the c_targe_user.mdl
model is also located in the 2025 Source Filmmaker leak.
