No complaints here, short circuit had it coming. It should be enough honestly, damage wasn't the issue the issue was how long it could be spammed, now destroying a sticky trap or something of the sort is going to take a fuck ton of ammo from him.

Fixed not being able to use the Festive Crusader's Crossbow in Medieval mode

Isn't this still a problem with festive Jarate?

And valve actually did something with .dem files, I'm surprised, now when are they going to fix the weird viewmodels issue?

According to Seth, the short circuit no longer uses ammo unless a projectile is destroyed, but can still deal damage without using ammo.

Valve broke it even more :c

6:25 PM - {BSB} Gabecube: And you lose metal while killing projectiles
6:25 PM - {BSB} Gabecube: Just hitting someone will not make you lose ammo

@Seth

month day year doesnt make sense

 

[Kyle]

month day year doesnt make sense

That's because it's a date format unique to the US only, we use it because it makes us feel special.

 

[Drum]

'Murica.
Where Month / Day / Year and the imperial measuring system are just better than your peasant systems.

lol I only saw three counties do MDY (month day year) the U.S, Palau and Federated States of Micronesia
Turns out some parts of canada also use MDY according to this chart

 

[Da_Jinks]

Aw Valve couldn't we have just a -little- fun with the short circuit?

 

[Talow]

I think I like the old system of it costs 18 metal to use, and 36 if you completely miss with it. hell, with the fire rate, could easily do 5 per hit and 15-20 per miss. Also, I love how the bit where it consumes 15 metal per projectile destroyed is in blue instead of in red.
