Somewhere between late June and early July 2012, Valve secretly increased the Hype duration from 8 to 10 seconds. This can be noticed on old archived footage from this time. On [https://youtu.be/gRvG1VUaes8?si=lB7TBrUXTrVUqeb7&t=155 this video] from June 21st, the Hype lasts 8 seconds, but on [https://youtu.be/8Q0xif7CDLw?si=0s5w2Ko5detDBCAS&t=276 this footage] from July 12th, the Hype lasts already 10 seconds. Even on [https://youtu.be/7DzjvtVi8W8?si=6FvWyTs5gnOEqaVx&t=155 this footage] from July 21st, the author noticed the change. I suspect that it happened on June 27th, the Pyromania Update, which included a few balance changes, and Valve maybe has forgotten to include this change in patch notes. Without checking archivized versions, it can't be 100% confirmed. Can this be included in the update history as an undocumented change from June/July 2012?

If the reload button is held down while firing, the weapon reloads faster than it does through automatic reload or manual reload after firing.

I'd add it to the page, but I'm kind of terrible at writing in wiki articles and I think people will take it down until a few other people test it.

Since the Soda Popper does not deal as much damage as the scattergun mini-crits can sometimes be useless. So basically you run around building up the hype meter, when you get the mini crits switch to your pistol and shoot away. A bit of aiming is required with The Winger since it has low ammo capacity. This is also more effective at targets further away.

Undocumented increased Hype duration

Somewhere between late June and early July 2012, Valve secretly increased the Hype duration from 8 to 10 seconds. This can be noticed on old archived footage from this time. On this video from June 21st, the Hype lasts 8 seconds, but on this footage from July 12th, the Hype lasts already 10 seconds. Even on this footage from July 21st, the author noticed the change. I suspect that it happened on June 27th, the Pyromania Update, which included a few balance changes, and Valve maybe has forgotten to include this change in patch notes. Without checking archivized versions, it can't be 100% confirmed. Can this be included in the update history as an undocumented change from June/July 2012?

Undocumented patch notes should always be at the bottom of the Update history.
