Poses

Poses refer to the various unique stances or gestures that the in-game classes showcase outside general gameplay but can be found within the game files, often as a basis for marketing artwork. These often consist of the numerous stances that the individual classes assume on the class-selection screen, or the various pictures of in-game models gesturing on the various update pages of the TF2 Official Website.

Marketing poses

 Scout

	Associated item	Description
	Scattergun	The Scout depicting a well-known glitch in his double jumping, which would cause his legs to flail uncontrollably (known as Crazy Legs). Seen in the blog post, Better Late Than Never. Used by Valve as an example shot to announce they had "fixed" this long-standing glitch. However, the glitch is not actually fixed, as it still occurs (although much less frequently).

 Soldier

	Associated item	Description
	None	The Soldier, prepared for war. Used in the WAR! Soldier page.

	Associated item	Description
	Gunboats	The Soldier, triumphing over the Demoman to earn the Gunboats. Used in the WAR! Victory page.

	Associated item	Description
	Direct Hit	The Soldier poses with his new weapon, the Direct Hit, which is missing from its raw model shot. Used in the WAR! Soldier page.

	Associated item	Description
	Buff Banner	The Soldier poses with an active Buff Banner. Used in WAR! Soldier page.

	Associated item	Description
	None	Unused. Assumed to have been for the Equalizer's section on the WAR! Soldier page, or as a 'Loss' pose on the WAR! Victory page if the Soldier had lost the battle. If it's the former, then it was likely scrapped due to obvious model flaws (e.g. thin right wrist).

 Demoman

	Associated items	Description
	Eyelander  Chargin' Targe	The Demoman holds his Eyelander high, and prepares to decapitate an enemy. Apart from the facial expression, this pose matches the taunt animation for the Eyelander. Used in the WAR! Demoman page.

	Associated item	Description
	Scottish Resistance	The Demoman relaxes, holding his Scottish Resistance loosely. Used in the WAR! Demoman page.

	Associated item	Description
	Bottle	The Demoman looks down, defeated. The bottle he is clutching in his right hand is missing from the raw shot. Used in the WAR! Victory page.

	Associated item	Description
	None	The Demoman gestures to the sky in victory. Would have been used in the WAR! Victory page if the Demoman had won the war.

 Heavy

	Associated item	Description
	Minigun	The Heavy shows love to his minigun Sasha. This pose, or possibly a similar pose, was used for the VI Day image posted on the official blog with the conclusion of the WAR! Update. [1]
