Subject: A Question about Unlockable Weapon Levels in Team Fortress 2

Dear Robin,

First, let me start off by saying that I have had some of the most fun playing a video game while playing Team Fortress 2. I only have a few minor complaints about the game, but most of them are simply personal preference. However, that's not why I'm sending this e-mail. Lately, some of the random drops do not have the standard level for that unlock, such as a Level 91 Bonk! Atomic Punch, or a Level 17 Ubersaw. I was wondering what effect this will have, if any at all, and if it currently has an effect - some people are claiming things such as getting more Uber from higher level Ubersaws, but I doubt that such a game changing difference would have been made without posting a blog post about it.

I'll get a screenshot if need be.

Aww I was hoping they were nearing an update

The levels are a parody of MMORPGs.

Get over it.

Biggest anti-climax ever?

Or Valve's little secret?

Thanks, now these morons can stop making outrages claims.

CowabungaCor · 06-23-2009, 03:23 PM

good. I always thought the whole Level 5 Lunchbox was a joke. Today, when I got a level 51 Huntsman I worried a little bit. This just makes the game funnier.

They must be up to something. It wouldn't just glitch like that. Trading system, anyone?

Ole' swifty · 06-23-2009, 03:26 PM

Its a bug.....(a bug because it was supposed to activate when the update came out today)

Mollikka · 06-23-2009, 03:27 PM

How do you create a random level system by accident? Oh well..

LoL I think you're right.

What a let-down.

Frugal · 06-23-2009, 06:08 PM

If it's a bug, that means they have some sort of purpose since they aren't standardized. The purpose may not be active now... but in the futureI'm curious what they'll do.

Programpro · 06-23-2009, 06:11 PM

I think you mis-used the word "excerpted"...maybe you wanted "withheld"?

And nice, btw

I still think there's a little more than what appears...

Dispenser · 06-23-2009, 06:11 PM

YES, I said it was a bug. I hope all the lil ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ RPG people see this.

It better stay this way, without 94 different levels of each weapon.
