| − | :: The Icon column is for two things, the backpack icon, and the kill icon. There really isn't an explanation needed. As for an additional column, the details are all located on the weapon page, this page is merely for summarizing all the specific statistics of the weapon for comparison and reference. A "details" section may make it look a bit bloated. --[[User:Firestorm|<span style="color:#FF6600;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;"><tt><big>Firestorm</big></tt></span>]] {{mod}} [[File:User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg]] 18:44, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

| − | :::Actually, before the move we were considering removing the weapon damage columns so that changed values only had to be kept updated on the individual weapon pages themselves, with this page acting more as a sort of hub. This would also free up some space for a details section which could describe the weapon attributes in brief. Smash is okay with it last I checked, anyone against this? --[[User:Wilsonator|Wilsonator]] 19:26, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

| − | :::: I prefer having the damage column here. I think a details section is unnecessary, as once you know the details of a weapon, you won't forget it, but you will forget the damage often. I like being able to compare the point-blank damage of the FaN and Scattergun (for example) and notice that a crit FaN will NOT kill a Soldier in one hit, where that info would normally be buried and not noticed as easily in the individual weapon page --[[User:Firestorm|<span style="color:#FF6600;text-decoration:underline;font-weight:bold;"><tt><big>Firestorm</big></tt></span>]] {{mod}} [[File:User Firestorm Nuke Sig.jpg]] 19:32, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Damage Per Second? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Should we have a column for DPS? If people think the table would be too wide, should we include it in the weapon pages? Its useful information, especially when comparing weapons. If it were up to me, I would have a "short term DPS" which would only take into account time between shots, and "long term DPS" which would account for reload times, but that might be overkill. Still, how else are you going to easily find out which weapons can take out a building in the shortest time? [[User:Strange Quirk|Strange Quirk]] 02:54, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :I'll add it if I don't get a response. [[User:Strange Quirk|Strange Quirk]] 12:38, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | ::I wouldn't say there's much need for a DPS column. While it's increasingly RPGish, TF2 is still an FPS and taking imperfect aim, the generally short and explosive nature of the combat, the fact you're usually fighting more than one opponent and the firing rates of all the weapons into account, getting a standardised DPS for every one would be difficult and probably not useful enough to make it worth it. When it comes to taking out buildings, it's more down to general knowledge and the strategy sections, just a short note in the minigun/flamethrower descriptions about how they're ideal for taking out SGs would do the same thing. That and it'd be hell updating it for every weapons page and on this page whenever valve patches the damage values for a weapon. --[[User:Wilsonator|Wilsonator]] 15:24, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

| − | ::::Eh, ok. Though if you want to take into account reload times its not completely trivial. I'm not going to press it further, but i think that at least for the miniguns and flamethrowers we should have DPS instead of bullet/particle damage, since those are pretty useless.

| − | == Hidden attributes ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Since it applies to multiple weapons, I'm putting it here. If you look on TF2Items/items_game.txt, you can see that certain hidden attributes present on some weapons are down right weird...
| |
| − | | |
| − | Huntsman: Primary max ammo bonus (0.5) (37=0.5)
| |
| − | | |
| − | As far as I know, you have less arrows than bullets with the sniper rifle.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Crit-a-cola: Lunch box adds mini-crits (2)
| |
| − | | |
| − | This is right under the visible "Mini-crit" attribute, so I don't know what that means.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Also, the Flare gun has an hidden attribute which is "Secondary max ammo penalty", which makes sense since it does have less ammo than the shotgun.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We're getting trolled hard by Valve D: -- [[User:Vi3trice|<font color=#771d6d>'''Vi3trice'''</font>]] {{adm}} <sub>([[User_talk:Vi3trice|talk]])</sub> 18:37, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | : the 0.5 "bonus" turns 25 sniper bullets into 12 arrows. A lot of these are hidden attributes because they are understood by the weapon's nature, or in the case of the huntsman/flare gun are significantly different from their base weapon, so it's unnecessary to state such attributes, because players can assume that they would be different. -- [[User:Nineaxis|<span style="color:#FF8C00;font-weight:bold">Nineaxis</span>]] {{mod}} [[File:User Nineaxis sig duck.png|12px]] 19:15, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Drop screens ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I had an idea, that we could add the drop/craft screen image of each weapon. Like, for [http://screenshot.xfire.com/s/98280134-4.jpg example]. Good idea? Same for hats too. [[User:CWalkthroughs|CWalkthroughs]] 22:07, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

| − | The soldier's new frying pan hasn't been added to the weapons page. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKaKyWwvct4] It is a reskin of the soldier's shovel, and was added in the Mannconomy update. --[[User:Stevoisiak|Stevoisiak]] 19:08, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Scout Bats ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Bat and Sandman are listed with damage range 24-46 here, and 32-39 in their individual pages. Which is correct? [[User:Hrusha|Hrusha]] 22:36, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

| − | | |
| − | == Number of Vintage Weapons ==
| |
| − | I counted 35. I'm not sure if Valve is planning to implement a way for the new weapons/hats to become vintage, so if they say something suggesting they do obviously my factoid is subject to change. [[User:Geno|Geno]] 03:45, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :This is not true. According to the TF2 Team:
| |
| − | | |
| − | :::''Some items that used to be rare will become more common when they are available for purchase. We wanted to give players this option, but still recognize people who obtained those items “the old-fashioned way” in the past. So we decided to perform a one-time conversion of all the old items into "Vintage" versions, which will never be attainable in the future. This way, those older rare items remain rare (in fact, they're even rarer, because they're limited editions now).''
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Now based on this, no more Vintage Items will be added. [[User:Danton|Danton]] 21:17, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | | |
| − | == True Primaries (Spy & Demoman) ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Forget about Crafting for a moment. According to the Animation sets, the Spy does not have a Primary Weapon Animation. His Revolver is refereed to as "Secondary". This is also why the Ambassador is a Secondary Slot craftable. Primary Weapons are usually the most important/powerful weapon that class has. You may think differently but I would rather backstab a Medic then his Heavy than shoot them with a Gun with a chance of the Heavy seeing. On another note, the Spy holds his Knife in the class selection screen while the others (excluding the Medic) are wielding their Primary. Now for the Demoman, in the Animation Sets, the Stickybomb Launcher is refereed to as "Primary" and the Pipe Bomb Launcher is "Secondary". Also the Scottish Resistance and the Chargin' Targe replace the Stickybomb Launcher. On top of this, the Stickybomb Launcher can deal more damage at once than the Grenade Launcher. The most likely reason these weapons are not the first weapon in the Buckets is probably because these weapons are not practical standard weapons. They are more so Opportunity Weapons.

| − | It's not a taunt attack. Sure, it's unique, but it does no damage so it shouldn't be under Taunt Attacks. Yes or no? [[User:Lemon|Lemon]] 19:08, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | | |
| − | == Labeling inconsistency ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I noticed a slight discrepancy on the page when it comes to labeling the weapons, when compared to the labels on the individual class/weapon pages. The icons used for the weapons on this page are those found within the game, whereas the icons utilized on the class pages are those stylized 'angled' icons created by the community. Also, base weapons are listed as 'Standard' weapons on this page, while they are listed as 'Stock' weapons on the class/weapon pages. For the sake of consistency on the wiki, I believe one of each of the two sets should be phased out. (I'll leave the decision on which sets to keep up to more seasoned editors; I don't feel that this a decision a new editor should be making alone quite yet.) [[User:Disaster|Disaster]] 22:23, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :Nice eye. While I feel not much can be done about the icons as there are so many versions (Template, backpack, class page, etc.), we can definitely phase out one of the two sets through simple replacing. Have to keep a sense of uniformity among pages! --[[User:Vaught|<span style="text-shadow:pink 0px 0px 3px;"><font color=" #FFA6C9"><tt><big>'''Vaught'''</big></tt></font>]]</span> 08:52, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | == Weapon Level? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I recently began to notice that some weapons have a different "Level" than others, for example my Flare Gun reads "Level 5 Flare Gun" whereas my Holy Mackerel reads "Level 42 Fish." I have also noticed some players with different variations of levels; but to get to the point; how are levels determined or are they randomly assessed to the weapon as it is found or does the weapon "level" as it is used?This may not seem important to others, but out of curiosity; bare with me on this. --[[User:Ignisviscus|Ignisviscus]] 08:46, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

| − | Is it possible to put the table headers at the bottom of the table too? (Damage, ammo carried etc.).

| − | The Jumper weapons have kill icons. Since they do not deal damage unless the game files are modified, they logically should not have kill icons as all that is happening is that they use the default kill icon for that slot weapon for that class (rocket and sticky launcher respectively). Should we cut the jumper weapon kill icons or not? [[User:Psychopath|Psychopath]] 07:44, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
| |
| − | :They shouldn't have killicons to begin with since...they do no damage. And since they cannot kill, they have no need of a kill icon.

| |
| − | ::Done. The only reason they have kill icons is use of the default icon for that slot weapon like I said previously.

| − | | |
| − | Now that each (or at least most) weapon has an update history of everytime it is modified through various patches, should the patch that it was included into the game (both stock and non-stock) also be listed along with any information not listed in the weapon's description (for example, the Razorback's speed penalty is only mentioned on the patch when it is taken out and the Sandman's original double jump penalty isn't mentioned until the 4th patch listed, which was 6 months after it came out.
| |
| − | The issue is rather small (since previous iterations are for the most part, not necessary), but I figure newer players may occasionally hear other players talk about previous weapons and it may be handy for a reference.

| − | == Redirects to this page via Primary/Secondary/etc. ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | With the new arrangement and organization here on the Weapons page (sorting weapons by class, rather than one monstrous list for each slot), it turns out the Primary/Secondary/Melee/etc. pages, which before were redirects to the applicable aforementioned monster lists, now have nowhere specific to actually ''redirect to'' on this page.
| |
| − | | |
| − | What should be done about this? Should we change the redirects to generic ones (i.e. just dump the user off at the Weapons page?) Make each class's Primary/Secondary/Melee/PDA1&2 into unique subheaders? Introduce new pages for each loadout slot that kinda talks about the general use and has a brief list of applicable items for each class? A page about loadout slots with an abbreviated version of said info that they can redirect to?
| |
| − | | |

You'd link to, say, melee weapons, and it'd take you to the Scout's melee weapons. This got awkward when you wanted people to know what the Equalizer was. #soldiermelee is the anchor, and you can use them to link directly to the Soldier's melee weapons. The words on the right side should be changed to fit the current grammatical structure, of course. Those are how they are on almost every current weapon article, though. Keep consistent!
