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:
- April 1, 2013 : Bread was first mentioned in the well-hidden Lecture Valley page.
- 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.
- 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 page for Rottenburg shows Archimedes flying away with a German pretzel, another one of the eventual Bread models.
- 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.
Update history
- [Undocumented] Bread now occasionally spawns when using a Teleporter.
June 18, 2014 Patch (Love & War Update)
- Map Fixes.
- Updated pl_upward.
- Fixed physics debris triggering the Payload cart's finale explosion.
- Updated pl_upward.
[Unknown Date]
- Reduced chance to spawn bread on teleporting.
Notes
- All bread props can be destroyed with the Short Circuit and can also be airblasted, similar to projectiles.
Unused content
- Texture filename strings were found listed in the
texture_preload_list.txtfile 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.dmxfiles 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.tf/materials/models/weapons/c_items/c_bread_bagged.vtftf/materials/models/weapons/c_items/c_bread_bagged_normal.vtftf/materials/models/weapons/c_items/c_bread_robo.vtftf/materials/models/weapons/c_items/c_bread_shortbread.vtftf/materials/models/weapons/c_items/c_bread_shortbread_normal.vtf

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.
Plain loaf (Scout).
Slice of military bread ration (Soldier).
Burnt slice of bread; only one side is burnt (Pyro).
Slice of cinnamon-swirl bread (Demoman).
Loaf of Borodinsky bread (Heavy).
Cornbread (Engineer).
Pretzel (Medic).
Crumpet (Sniper).
Baguette (Spy).
