If you have spells still and haven't booted up TF2 since yesterday, the spells exist UNTIL you open TF2. You can trade them to an alt account (and never open TF2 on that account) and still have your spells. Then, while TF2 is open on your main, have your alt trade you the spells - you'll be able to apply them to items! But! If you don't use the spell, upon closing and restarting TF2 it will disappear.

This used to work, but IIRC last year they changed all the spells to be untradeable once the event ended. Unless they forgot to do that again this year?

According to backpack.tf, the spells are sitting in my alt's account and they're not flagged to be untradable yet. Dunno what else to tell you.

Why can't they just leave them tradeable and just leave them in everyone's backpacks? They only work on Full Moons now.

I think Valve seeded the Halloween unusuals a bit odd because that one I got? The Big Elfin Deal with Phantasms Jr.? There's at least three of them in existence. With the rarity of unusuals, the number of Halloween effects (what, 7?) and the goddamn hundreds of hats possible, that should be extremely unlikely right?

Every Halloween it has been substantially more likely to get one of the new Halloween effects rather than an older Halloween effects. When I unboxed a hat in 2012, a Secret Billycock, like four of them were unboxed after I unboxed the first one.

This isn't the stupid one with dispensers pushing you into the cabinet. This is a new, much stupider exploit that lets you put a primary weapon into your melee slot and then force melee with the buffalo steak.

Yea I noticed that last night when I was playing, and honestly, while it's obviously unintentional, the 'double fall-off' penalty plus spread that miniguns have at longer ranges make it no where near as bad as you think it would be. Additionally it only works right outside of spawn, and can't be done at will, so overall it's a neat trick, but not all that useful.

Does it only work with heavy? Otherwise I could see someone putting the rocket jumper in their melee slot while keeping a real rocket launcher.

They could, but it doesn't do anything because you can't select the glitched melee slot yourself.

QwertySanchez posted:

So there's a bug right now where if you go to your items, pick a weapon slot and view the entire backpack you can equip a primary in any slot. Though you can't select them, which limits it to passive stuff. Demoman with Grenade Launcher, Sticky Launcher and booties for 200 health, Heavy can eat a steak and instead of using gloves he can switches back to the minigun. If you're on the Halloween Doomsday map for the last few minutes it'll be played, then when everyone gets switched to melee, if you've got a gun in that slot you can ruin a lot of people's fun.

There's really not much you can do with it except minicrit heavy. I tried Scattergun-Pistol-BFB scout but I didn't get the boost meter. Maybe you can pull out your glitched 2nd primary by running out of ammo on your other weapons?

All you can do is the Heavy exploit and weaponless Demoman by having the parachute as your primary, a shield and your choice of booties in the melee slot.


The parachute only works as a primary, but the booties still give you 25 extra health in the melee slot.

I'm sure one of the Heavies seemed to be doing it at will. He was nowhere near spawn when he had the crits (well, nowhere near his spawn, at least) and he got them pretty frequently, unless he kept running back in the time it took me to respawn. :shrug:

You can eat the steak anywhere, it has a fairly fast recharge time, and you can instantly refill it by picking up any medkit while at full health. Mini-crits also don't have damage fall-off.

It works whenever you use the Buffalo Steak Sandvich, so every 30(?) seconds. However long it takes to recharge.

EDIT: Yeah, what he said.

This video shows pretty much the only other thing you can do with the exploit. Exciting!

On the other hand, pubbies appear to perform markedly better against minicrit heavies than normal ones, possibly because the giant glowing gun encourages better play.

Quick, someone go dig up the source for randomizer and modify it so we can build completely custom loadouts.. store the values in aliases so weird combos can be passed around easily.

This is obviously a thing that the TF2 community craves.

Sadly you can't equip multiple shields for stupid high burn/explosive resistances, or multiple boots for high health demos

Fixed the crash by deleting the splendid screen in my secondary slot and then changing out the loch n load that was in my melee slot.

I wouldn't mess around with that bug if I was anyone here. I think the only other way of fixing it would be to trade the item to someone and then get it back from them.
