Day 2
Day 2 revealed the Jungle Inferno Campaign and War Paint cases which will be replacing campaign weapon drops and weapon cases, 2 new cosmetic cases, and the new campaign system. This campaign involves 36 new contracts that can be completed in co-op. Completion of the contracts earns either a campaign-specific item or "Blood Money", which can be used to buy War Paint and cases.
Campaign
The Jungle Inferno Campaign requires the purchase of a Jungle Inferno Campaign Pass. The ConTracker PDA has also been introduced, which allows customized contract progression and the Mercenary Park Gift Shop. Friendly Fire is also now possible, which allows players to play against their friends and help each other in completing contracts if the two players are in a party.

| |
| Changed: Airblast now factors in the upward angle of the airblast, rather than having a fixed upward force
| |

Delayed a day
On the expected Day 4, a blog post gave notice of a delay of one day for the update. In "compensation", the post linked to a "big list of the changes, additions and fixes we'll be shipping".
Day 4
Day 4 released the patch-notes for the Jungle Inferno Update, including various weapon changes and changes to the matchmaking system. The actual update itself was delayed a day due to the TF2 Team wanting to test the update some more before the release. The team gave notice of a delay of one day for the update. In "compensation", the post linked to a "big list of the changes, additions and fixes we'll be shipping". First person view models were added for all of the weapons new sounds were added for the Family Business, the Winger, the Frontier Justice and a sound for when the Medigun's beam detaches from the healing target. The Awper Hand and Brass Beast also got new sound effects, replacing the older ones. The most hyped part of this update page was the Righteous Bison buff which has been reverted to its pre MYM state. There was more information about the new weapons, most interestingly the Dragon's Fury. This weapon shoots a fast fireball projectile which does +300% damage to burning players. The weapon also features an Alt-Fire of which is an Airblast, like other flamethrowers. The patch notes can be found here on the TF2 website.
Update progress
The Jungle Inferno Update was released over time through a four-day update. Explanations for the new additions to the game have yet to be given out.
Trivia
- This was the longest wait for a major update in TF2 history, timing 10 months and 29 days (272 days total) since Smissmas 2016.
- At the bottom of the Day 1 Update Page, there are several nods to the new Pyro weapons. There is a Gas Passer lying on the ground, and in the background, the Pyro can be seen flying with the Thermal Thruster.
- Throughout the Day 2 Update Page, there are multiple hints at a new Pyro weapon. In the pile of weapons shown that War Paints can be applied to, there is a Dragon's Fury in the background. Also, on the lineup of the team showing off new cosmetics, the Pyro is seen holding the Dragon's Fury again and the Heavy holding the Second Banana.
- At the bottom of the Day 2 Update Page, Saxton Hale is seen holding a ConTracker. On the screen, there are two names. One says "Mercenary Park", and the other says "Pyroland". It was later revealed that through the "Pyroland" option, players would be able to earn all of the four new Pyro weapons and the Heavy weapon via completing six free contracts.
- At the bottom of the page for Day 2, a parrot can be seen on Saxton Hale's shoulder. When its head is clicked or hovered over with the mouse cursor, it explodes.
