Detpack (Classic)

The Detpack is a weapon in the classic Team Fortress games. It is an explosive device that creates an enormous explosion when it goes off. It is only used by the Demoman and it uses a unique ammo type. Unlike other weapons, it must be set by the player, leaving the player vulnerable for a few seconds. The Detpack can be set to explode from either a five seconds after it is set to a minute.

Certain maps, such as Well and Warpath, have parts of the level that can be blown up by a Detpack. These give the user's teams an alternate route.

Enemy Scouts who touch a Detpack will disarm it instantly.

Damage

The Detpack will kill everyone in the blast radius.

Trivia

• The Quake Team Fortress Detpack model is a modified Backpack.
• The Detpack was probably appeared in Team Fortress 2 at early stages. Beeping sounds can be found in the game files. These were recycled and used for the pre-explosion Payload beep. This sound was also used in the Left 4 Dead series, as a sound for the Pipe Bomb.
