    Decided to switch back to scout, I was hardly contributing to the team as an engie really but I'm a pretty good scout. I'm thinking of playing more medic as I'd like to be more useful to the team.

    I'm a good pyro but I'd prefer to be pushing for points and keeping the pressure on as a scout rather than hanging around and not advancing much.

    Medic is the best class, but only when you have a heavy that knows to stand between yourself and the enemy bullet hoses.

          'effect_type' => 'neutral',

    Look at the name and description_string attributes. I think we know what useless heavy item this is and what it used to do.

    There are also negative versions of basically all of these effects. Either you have a chance to impair your teammates, negate one "tier" of an upgrade, or it is also intended to "debuff" an enemy.

    I'm seeing increases/reductions for basically everything including:
    • max ammo for specific slots (maybe upgrade one, nerf another?)
    • max metal
    • projectile range
    • pipebombs out on the field
    • cloak consumption and regeneration
    • "aiming movespeed" (what? drawn/scoped snipers?)
    • weapon burn time
    • weapon burn damage
    • health from healers
    • capture value
    • damage taken from bullets
    • damage taken from explosions
    • damage taken from fire
    • health regen
    • move speed
    • crit boost on kill
    • max health (boost only)
    • crits against ignited players
    • ubercharge on hit.
    • heal on-hit (boost only)
    • overheal bonus
    • ubercharge rate
    • heal rate
    • fire rate
    • clip size
    • damage dealt
    • construction rate
    • repair rate
    • reload time
    • self damage on-hit (for "rapid fire")
    • health on-hit (for "slow-fire"), gained and reduced
    • blast radius
    • projectile speed
    • health from health kits
    • ammo regen
    • metal regen
    • less max health
    • damage bonus against buildings
    • damage against players

    The description for the metal regeneration bit says "+%s1 metal regenerated every 5 seconds on wearer". Maybe the metal regeneration will lower your max metal in exchange for some metal regeneration?

    I guess that's possible, though it being tied into the existing drop system makes me feel :? about it.

    that seems very possible as an engi unlock considering they want engineers to be out in the field, and if you are constantly looking for metal to repair/rebuild a sentry while moving up on 5CP maps it makes it unfun

    So, possibly the gold wrench is a consumable that you use on a teammate to upgrade him? I guess you go to a cabinet or your dispenser to get a new one?

    I hate 5CP maps where the spawns repeatedly move. Fucking repairing or building a sentry, constantly moving teleporter entrances/exits is way more annoying, especially if your team is having trouble holding a point.

    From my experience cp_well is the worst offender.

    Oh, since I didn't think of it when I made the post replying to this: the metal regen was one of the "tiered" buffs, so I don't think it'll be an unlock (though maybe we'll get an item that grants something like it).
