Jungle Inferno Update.jpg
If Jurassic Park taught us one thing, it's life finds a way. If Jurassic Park taught us two things, it's life finds a way and Jurassic Park is a good idea to steal for an update. And if Valve's legal team has taught us one thing, it was by screaming at us about not telling you the second thing Jurassic Park taught us.

If people screaming at us has taught us one thing, it's that loud noises make us so anxious we forget where the backspace key is, so we're just plowing ahead and are happy to announce our wholly original update about deadly animals escaping from a theme park. Because life finds a way, which is the only thing we stole learned from Jurassic Park.
TF2 Official Website

The Jungle Inferno Update was a major update for Team Fortress 2 that spanned throughout 4 days, starting on October 16th, 2017 and finally releasing on October 20th, 2017 after a 1-day delay. It introduced 5 new weapons, 5 new community-made maps, 1 new Valve-made map, 7 new taunts, 1 new kill taunt, 49 new cosmetics (though 4 all-class items are currently unreleased), and many rebalances for existing weapons as well as the Pyro, Engineer and Heavy classes. It also introduced an overhaul to the contract system with the ConTracker, and introduced War Paint in place of weapon skins.

Announcements

The Jungle Inferno Update page officially began on October 16th, 2017, as announced on the TF2 Official Blog post "Welcome to... Mercenary Park!"

The Jungle Inferno Update was released over time through a four-day update.

  • Day 1 included 7 new taunts, 6 new maps, and a short SFM trailer.
  • Day 2 introduced War Paints and a new contract PDA with free and paid contracts, with the free contracts giving out the new weapons and the paid ones giving out Blood Money, War Paints, and cosmetic items.
  • Day 3 showed the new weapons: the Dragon's Fury (a primary weapon/flamethrower), the Thermal Thruster (a secondary weapon/jetpack with a unique taunt kill), the Gas Passer (a secondary weapon/toxic gas), the Hot Hand (a melee weapon/glove), and the only non-Pyro weapon in this update, the Second Banana (a secondary lunchbox weapon for the Heavy).
  • Day 4 was the final day, accompanied by a blog post with the complete patch notes and a release date of 1 day away.

Day 1

The Jungle Inferno Update revealed 1 new Valve map and 5 new community-created maps, along with 2 new Valve taunts and 5 new community-created taunts.

Day 2

Day 2 revealed the Jungle Inferno Campaign and War Paint cases that replaced campaign weapon drops and weapon cases, 2 new cosmetic cases, and the new campaign system. This campaign involves 36 new contracts that can be completed in co-op. Completion of the contracts earns either a campaign-specific item or "Blood Money", which can be used to buy War Paints and cases.

Campaign

The Jungle Inferno Campaign required the purchase of a Jungle Inferno Campaign Pass. The ConTracker PDA was also introduced, which allows customized contract progression and access to the Mercenary Park Gift Shop. Friendly-Fire is a new feature accompanied by the campaign and the party system, which allows players to play with/against their friends and help each other in completing contracts if they are on the same Valve server with them.

Update Delay

On the expected day for the update's release, Day 4, a blog post gave notice of a delay of one day for the update in order for the TF team to do additional stress testing.

Trivia

  • A Spy can be seen doing the Box Trot taunt to the right of Saxton Hale on day 4.
  • Several new weapons were teased in the days prior to their reveal:
    • At the bottom of the Day 1 Update Page, there is a Gas Passer lying on the ground, and in the background, the Pyro can be seen flying with the Thermal Thruster.
    • On the Day 2 Update Page, in the pile of weapons shown that War Paint can be applied to, there is a Dragon's Fury in the background. Also, in the lineup of the team showing off new cosmetics, the Pyro is seen holding the Dragon's Fury and the Heavy is holding the Second Banana.
  • At the bottom of the Day 2 Update Page, Saxton Hale is seen holding a ConTracker. On the screen, there are two names. One says "Mercenary Park", and the other says "Pyroland". It was later revealed that through the "Pyroland" option, players would be able to earn all of the four new Pyro weapons and the Heavy weapon via completing six free contracts. Additionally, on Saxton Hale's shoulder, a parrot can be seen. Three red lasers are shining near the parrot's head. Moving the cursor near the parrot causes its head to explode, leaving a comical bone sticking out, some blood on Hale's shoulder, and feathers floating in the air. The triple laser sight is a reference to the Predator film series, as the eponymous alien hunters use a similar sight to aim their Plasmacasters. The first Predator movie involves people being hunted in a jungle. Using inspect element on the website shows the image's name as "parroter".
