There are unique ones, they exist. https://backpack.tf/overview/Saxxy Cheezcracker (talk) 08:29, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Every Saxxy was updated to be strange, these are likely outdated backpacks.

Saxxy Awards "was"?

Technically even though it's been years since the last Saxxys, the Awards were never officially discontinued and it's just been a hiatus... on paper. Should this be noted? Is it presumption to use the past tense in this article? Why not use "is" whilst noting the hiatus? Just as Tux could theoretically become tradeable one day as Valve promised a decade ago, see the Scout pants fiasco. (p.s. Should an article be made for all the Awards as a concept or is only the seven individual ones okay?)-- Akolyth (talk) 15:03, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

It's not up to us to decide if something is on hiatus or not, that would imply there's a chance it comes back (there is, but there's also a chance they're just retired forever). I'm not sure what would even be changed here.

My proposed text (new stuff in bold): "The Saxxy is awarded to winners of the Annual Saxxy Awards, a filmmaking contest hosted by Valve. Saxxy are bestowed upon all contributors in winning entries created by more than one player. The last event was during the Seventh Annual Saxxy Awards for 2017-18, and it is unclear if there will be more." <Something like this?--

That just seems like unnecessary speculation to me. I don't think any changes to this wording is necessary, just a link to Saxxy (disambiguation) would be useful.

-Here are some Ideas:
-. '''Scout''': Standard Bat Replacement
-Secondary: Scout presents it as if it were the "Slap Chop" (Taunt)
-. '''Soldier''': Shovel Replacement
-Secondary: Soldier bites the head off as if it were a grenade, and it explodes (Kill Taunt)
-. '''Pyro''': Axe Replacement
-Secondary: Pyro plays with it as if it were an airplane or as if it were a Ken Doll.
-. '''Demoman''': Bottle Replacement
-Secondary: Demoman unscrews the head and drinks from it as if it was a flask.
-. '''Engineer''': Wrench Replacement
-Secondary: Engineer places it ontop of a Sentry or Dispenser (Essentially, A Building Hat)
-. '''Heavy''': Sandwitch Replacement
-Primary or Secondary: Heavy eats the award as if it was made of chocolate (Heal Taunt)
-. '''Medic''': Saw Replacement
-Secondary: Uses it to test his knee Reflexes (Kill Taunt)
-. '''Sniper''': Kuri Replacement
-Secondary: Holds it in one hand and flicks the head with his finger and says "Boom Headshot".
-. '''Spy''': Knife Replacement (Works just like the knife, but with new backstab animation. Uses it just like those small flexable weighted clubs you use to knock someone out by hitting them in the back of the head)
-Secondary: Spy tries to disguise himself as SAXTON HALE but only lasts a taunt duration.

-:The wiki isn't the place for ideas and suggestions. Take it to the SPUF. [[User:Mikau|Mikau]] 00:15, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
-==Veiw models==
-I need to see the view models for the heavy.--[[User:Waffleman|Waffleman]] 00:11, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
-==Composition==
-''"While the First Annual Saxxy Awards promotional video reveals that the Saxxy is made of 75% Australium, the blog post promoting the announcement of the contest winners refers to it as a "handsome 100% Australium-plated Saxton Hale statuette", adding further vagueness to its actual composition."''
-Isn't that extra 25% likely to mean the stand, which is probably wood or metal? --'''[[User:Cooper Kid|<span style="color:red">Coo</span><span style ="color:gray">per</span><span style ="color:blue"> Kid</span>]]''' <small>([[User_talk:Cooper Kid|Blether]]''' · '''[[Special:Contributions/Cooper Kid|Contreebs]])</small> 01:41, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
-:No, the 25% is gold. You ''did'' watch the Replay Update trailer, right? [[User:Maggosh|mag]][[User talk:Maggosh|gosh]] 01:42, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
-::75% overall, total of the statue. A small percentage of that (probably 10-15%) was used to completely plate it. I theorize it is 100% Australium on the outside, then a layer of some heavy metal, followed by a nuggety Australium center. [[User:SilverHammer|SilverHammer]] 01:46, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
-:::The important thing is that the second statement says it's 100% Australium-''plated'', so they aren't really contradicting one another. --'''[[User:Cooper Kid|<span style="color:red">Coo</span><span style ="color:gray">per</span><span style ="color:blue"> Kid</span>]]''' <small>([[User_talk:Cooper Kid|Blether]]''' · '''[[Special:Contributions/Cooper Kid|Contreebs]])</small> 01:48, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
-I put those facts up at the top where it seemed more fitting. I took out the implication that they were contradictory. Don't know how to in-article cite or if it's needed at all. [[User:Minwu|Minwu]] 03:05, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
-== Related achievements ==
-I think the related achievements should go away. There are no achievements particular to the Saxxy and they are cluttering the page. Perhaps a bit in the Trivia section or whatever that says melee achievements can also be earned with the Saxxy. --[[User:Drunken F00l|Drunken F00l]] 03:31, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
-*{{c|Yes}} Its just seems like we are using too much space. If there was an achievement directly attached to this weapon specifically, then that would be much different. But this is not the case. I think that either Drunken F00l's suggestion or having the achievements in a collapsible table would suffice. [[File:User_M-NINJA_Signature.png|link=User:M-NINJA]] 03:37, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
-*{{c|Yes}} I agree, remove the related achievements. By the way, I was right when I predicted that the Saxxy was going to be a weapon. Boo-yah. [[User:404 User Not Found|404 User Not Found]] 04:51, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
-*{{c|Nope.avi}} A collapsible table might be needed, but outright removal is out of the question for reasons of consistency within the wiki.--<span style="color:purple">'''''[[User:Focusknock|Focusknock]]'''''</span> 04:57, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
-== Custom viewmodels not implemented? ==
-I'm no expert on first person viewmodels and the like, but there are proper models for the classes holding the Saxxy in the game files as well as unique sounds, as this video shows [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Oooftm9HzA]]. Obviously the item is brand new so we don't have good quality images of it in 1st person view yet, but the trivia section mention severe animation and clipping issues with the Heavy and the weapon using default item sounds, so I think this should be put into the bug section, or at least given a mention in the trivia--[[User:1000 ninjas|1000 ninjas]] 09:43, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
