  • A snapshot was featured of a new community map called cp_generator.

Day 2

  • The Hellraiser was to be released on Day 2. It was a Nail Gun with a mini-container filled with radioactive gas provided by Mann Co. and nails manufactured by Saxton Hale's teeth. It was intended to give away cloaked Spy positions with a green radioactive glow.
  • The infamous achievement_idle map was added as a King of the Hill map.

Day 3

Day 4

  • The Machinist Chest was a new building that would allow Engineers to upgrade teammates' weapons with faster reloads, accessories, and other tweaks, lasting for a single life.
  • The bottom of Day 4 joked about the Engineer achievements, saying "Write every single one? OK, I give up!" and ending with a message from Samuel announcing that the update was indeed fake and explaining how he was inspired by Diogo Lima and his Guard Dog Update.

Day 5

  • The Teleportal worked like a regular Teleporter, except the exit could be thrown to attach it to walls and ceilings, with the downside being a slower recharge time.
  • 35 Engineer achievements were listed, mostly having to do with the new weapons and buildings.
