The '''Tranquilizer Gun''' or '''Tranq''' (also known as Tranquilizer Gun in the game's files) was to be the primary weapon for the [[Spy]]. The Spy can be seen wielding it in [[Trailer 1]]. However, it was scrapped before the final release and the Spy was equipped with the [[Revolver]] as a replacement. Based on [[Tranqulizier (Classic)|its Team Fortress Classic incarnation]], it would not have dealt much damage, but would have slowed down the target's movement and turn speeds, making them easier to fight. Useful applications would have included slowing down attackers, enemy [[Medic]]s and pursuing foes.

The Tranquilizer Gun, also known as the Tranquilizer or Tranq, is a scrapped primary weapon for the Spy. It is a slim, silver matte pistol with a black grip, also bearing obvious resemblance and functionality with a real-life tranquilizer gun. In the game files this weapon is listed as the primary, and given the fact that technically Spy doesn't have any primary weapons, this means that Tranquilizer had its own slot. The Spy can be seen wielding it in Trailer 1; however, the weapon was scrapped for officially-unknown reasons. A form of the weapon was also tested in the Beta.

The stats were confirmed to slow the enemy down by 50% and reduce mouse sensitivity by 60% for 6 seconds. It is claimed that the weapon was scrapped for being too annoying to play against, as well as being relatively overpowered.

Unused content

  • A model and bucket icon for the Tranquilizer can be found in the game's files. Evidence can be found in tf_english.txt under "TF_Weapon_Tranq" "Tranquilizer Gun".

  • There are sound definitions for the Tranquilizer Gun in tf\scripts\game_sounds_weapons.txt which go unused.
