The <span class="plainlinks">'''[http://www.teamfortress.com/toughbreak/ Tough Break Update]'''</span> was a major update that introduced 4 new weapon collections, 4 [[Steam workshop|community-created]] new maps, and 3 new taunts. It introduced the Tough Break Campaign, an event taking place around around Smissmass which allows players to compete in 26 skill-based challenges to unlock one-of-a-kind weapons and exclusive weapon and cosmetic cases. To participate in the Tough Break Update, players must purchase the Tough Break Campaign Pass.

{{Quotation|Tough Break Update publicity blurb|The New Mexico Department of Labor has found the Administrator in violation of every safety law they have, including 106 violations of the Employee Electroshock ''(Face, Trunk and Genital)'' Protection Act and 496 unexplained workplace disappearances. This means Miss Pauling has been state-mandated to take her first vacation in... well, ever. It also means she'll still be working round the clock, since those kill-contracts won't assign themselves.}}

The update introduced 4 new weapon collections, 15 [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] new cosmetics, 4 community-created new maps, and 3 new taunts.

To participate in the Tough Break Campaign, players had to obtain the [[Tough Break Campaign Pass]], which was available for purchase in the [[Mann Co. Store]]. Players were invited to fulfill [[contracts]] ostensibly handed out by [[Miss Pauling]] via postcards on her state-mandated vacation.

Latest revision as of 15:02, 28 October 2024

This article is for content released in the update. For the patch itself, see December 17, 2015 Patch.
Tough Break Update.png
“
The New Mexico Department of Labor has found the Administrator in violation of every safety law they have, including 106 violations of the Employee Electroshock (Face, Trunk and Genital) Protection Act and 496 unexplained workplace disappearances. This means Miss Pauling has been state-mandated to take her first vacation in... well, ever. It also means she'll still be working round the clock, since those kill-contracts won't assign themselves.
— Tough Break Update publicity blurb
 ”

The Tough Break Update was a major seasonal update added in the 2015 Smissmas season that spanned from December 17, 2015 to April 11, 2016.

The update introduced 4 new weapon collections, 15 community-created new cosmetics, 4 community-created new maps, and 3 new taunts. It also added the Tough Break Campaign, a three-month contract campaign which allows players to complete 26 skill-based challenges to unlock one-of-a-kind weapons and exclusive weapon and cosmetic cases. To participate in the Tough Break Campaign, players had to obtain the Tough Break Campaign Pass, which was available for purchase in the Mann Co. Store. Players were invited to fulfill contracts ostensibly handed out by Miss Pauling via postcards on her state-mandated vacation.

Additional content was further added in the December 22, 2015 Patch, such as the Festivizer.
