'''Bread''' is an object that occasionally appears when players [[Teleporters|teleport]] or [[Death|die]]. Several seconds after spawning, the bread prop will disappear. There are currently nine different bread models, which will appear randomly. Bread-related weapons are one of the main focuses of the [[Love & War Update]].

== ARG Timeline ==

Before its appearance in the game itself, Bread was hinted at multiple times:
 +
* April 1, 2013 : Bread was first mentioned in [https://www.teamfortress.com/lecturevalley/ the well-hidden] [[Lecture Valley]] page.
 +
 
 +
* June 3, 2013 : Bread was also shown on the [https://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=10765 Adult Swim Extravaganza] [[Adult Swim commercial|blog post]]. In the top right corner directly above the Scout, a pair of baguettes are visible.
 +
 
 +
* July 2, 2013 : The icon for the [[Summer Appetizer Crate]] contains baguettes, one of the eventual Bread models.
 +
 
 +
* November 20, 2013 : The [[Two Cities Update]] [https://www.teamfortress.com/twocities/rottenburg/ page] for [[Rottenburg]] shows [[Non-player characters#Archimedes|Archimedes]] flying away with a German pretzel, another one of the eventual Bread models.
 +
 
 +
* {{Patch name|6|11|2014}}: Bread began spawning from Teleporter exits. Because players observed nine different models characteristic of the cultural origins of the nine Mercenaries, there was speculation that each model represented a player class.
 +
 
 +
Released on June 17th, 2014, the [[Love & War Update]] answered the Bread tease:
 +
* The Bread spawn rate increased to 100%.
 +
* Taking place in RED's [[:File:RED Bread.png|Red Bread]] front [[List of companies|company]], the Update's ''[[Expiration Date]]'' video revealed the association of Bread with Teleporters turning them into a mutated form.
 +
* Several items in the video are represented in the Cosmetics and Weapon reskins released with the Update.
 +
* From June 18 to July 10, players could craft one of four reskinned weapons using the [[Bread Box]], that item itself closing the reference to the April 1, 2013, Lecture Valley tease.
 +
 
 +
Later, the Bread spawn rate reverted to its lower percentages, continuing to the present.

Latest revision as of 20:52, 21 November 2024

This article is about objects that can spawn when players teleport. For other uses, see Bread (disambiguation).

“
Full of bugs. Smells like fish and old milk. Was eighteen dollars for some reason. Now it's... I don't know, a dollar? Free?
— Mann Co. advertisement for Lecture Valley Bread
 ”

Since the June 11, 2014 Patch, Bread is an object that occasionally flies from Teleporter Exits when players arrive. Several seconds after spawning, the bread prop disappears. The chance for bread to spawn is 1/20 when most players exit, but 1/3 when Soldiers exit. Nine different models of Bread are seen.

Teleporter Bread first appeared as a mysterious tease for players, which was eventually seen to be a promotion for the Love & War Update. Soldier's antics in the Update's media suggests a reason why his teleportations spawn more Bread than others.

ARG Timeline

Before its appearance in the game itself, Bread was hinted at multiple times:

  • June 3, 2013 : Bread was also shown on the Adult Swim Extravaganza blog post. In the top right corner directly above the Scout, a pair of baguettes are visible.
  • June 11, 2014 Patch: Bread began spawning from Teleporter exits. Because players observed nine different models characteristic of the cultural origins of the nine Mercenaries, there was speculation that each model represented a player class.

Released on June 17th, 2014, the Love & War Update answered the Bread tease:

  • The Bread spawn rate increased to 100%.
  • Taking place in RED's Red Bread front company, the Update's Expiration Date video revealed the association of Bread with Teleporters turning them into a mutated form.
  • Several items in the video are represented in the Cosmetics and Weapon reskins released with the Update.
  • From June 18 to July 10, players could craft one of four reskinned weapons using the Bread Box, that item itself closing the reference to the April 1, 2013, Lecture Valley tease.

Later, the Bread spawn rate reverted to its lower percentages, continuing to the present.

Notes

Unused content

  • Texture filename strings were found listed in the texture_preload_list.txt file added in the October 28, 2015 Patch, hinting at 3 bread types that were scrapped; bagged bread, robo-bread and shortbread. Furthermore, leaks have shown that there are several .dmx files for viewmodel animations associated with each type of bread, as well as Bread monster animations (even for classes without a Bread monster weapon)[1]. Additionally, in the filepath for weapons there are several backpack icons for each type of bread, excluding the shortbread[2], indicating these were likely going to be used as weapons.

Each type of bread represents one of the nine player classes,[3] generally associated with each classes' cultural background. Even though each of these models is associated with a specific player class, the model that spawns is random with respect to the player class that exits.
