Unused content

This will never work.

Back to the drawing board, genius! Click to listen — The Sniper

”

Like many video games, Team Fortress 2 changed significantly over the course of its development. Decisions as to how the gameplay would work changed, such as whether or not grenades would be used like they were in Team Fortress Classic. An item might have been cut simply because it was replaced by something better, like the Soldier's medals, and sometimes content was cut due to the change in the game's style. Listed on this page are weapons, items, and other odds and ends that were cut from the game, but in most cases left over in some form in the game's content (.VPK) files as unused content. Unlike unreleased content, unused in this context is assumed to be purposefully cut or abandoned without hope for being integrated at some point.

Classes

Name	Notes
Civilian	Unused gamemode specific-class. Was to be escorted from one point on a map to another, functioning as a playable Payload bomb cart. Valve wanted him to be in the VIP gamemode, which was scrapped along with the civilian.
Commander	Non-physical class removed during Team Fortress 2's development. Was to oversee the map, provide aerial support, place buildings, and communicate tactics to teammates.
Female Classes	Non-physical classes. The concept was created and revealed by a former employee of Valve, Drew Wolf.

Game modes

Maps

Name	Notes
Cloak (Control Point)	Cloak is a small Control Point map with an unknown purpose. It consists of a spawn room for each team in opposite corners of the map. There is one control point in the center of the map on an elevated platform. There are no Health packs, Ammo crates, or resupply lockers on the map. Outside of the main area of the map, there is a giant model of each class looking through gaps in the walls.

Grenades

The only grenade projectiles in Team Fortress 2 are those fired from the Demoman's primary weapons. Additionally, the Soldier detonates a grenade as part of the Grenade kill taunt, albeit without throwing it. The Pyro also wears a bandolier holding three incendiary grenades, but they are purely cosmetic.

Grenades were a strong feature of Team Fortress Classic, but were scrapped during the early testing stages of Team Fortress 2. Developers have revealed that this choice was due to gameplay concerns with how they were used, such as being thrown randomly at chokepoints, certain potential exploits, and general over-reliance on them as a whole.

Each class was set to have primary and secondary grenades, with the primary grenades being Frag Grenades and secondary grenades possessing more specialized functions. There is still code pertaining to thrown grenades in the server_i486.so file, as well as keybinds related to grenades (+grenade1 and +grenade2). Players would have to holster their weapons in order to switch to the Grenade slots and use their grenades. Some remnants of this holster system can be found in the form of holster/unholster animations in models/weapons/v_models/v_bat_scout.mdl, models/weapons/v_models/v_smg_sniper.mdl and models/weapons/v_models/v_shotgun_soldier.mdl. v_bat_scout.mdl's holster animation was designed for the original bat model from the early trailers, rather than the model actually used in the final game, so the bat appears to get stuck inside the Scout's arm.

Several grenade types are modeled, some of which are updated versions of those found in Team Fortress Classic and some of which are new designs. Sounds for thrown grenades can also be found in the game files.

An unobtainable crafting item called a "Grenade Token" used to exist, but was removed with the Mann-Conomy Update.

Upgrades

These are unused upgrades referenced in the code.

Class	Weapon	Description
Scout	Scattergun	Allows the Scout to teleport 192 units horizontally by double-tapping any of the movement keys. Cooldown of 2 seconds.
Soldier	Rocket Launcher	Gives the Soldier 10x increased air control and fall damage immunity. Firing a rocket while blast jumping propels you in the opposite direction of the rocket.
Pyro	Flamethrower	Gives the Pyro a rocket pack that sends it flying in the direction you are looking. When you land with this active, fall damage is nullified, and Robots in a 192 Hammer unit radius will be stunned for 1 to 3 seconds, scaling based on how much fall damage would've been taken; stomping a Robot increases the stun time to 5 seconds. Presumably reworked into the Thermal Thruster.
Demoman	Chargin' Targe	Increases the amount of damage dealt from shield impacts.
Medic	Medi Gun	Allows the Medic to heal a friendly Engineer's buildings at 10% of his current heal rate.
Medic	Medi Gun	Gives the Medic a projectile shield that never expires.
Sniper	Sniper Rifle	Causes the Sniper to become cloaked after 2 seconds of standing still while scoped. Cloak is immediately removed if the Sniper moves in any manner.
Sniper	Huntsman	Causes the Huntsman to shoot 2 additional arrows with random horizontal spread per upgrade tick.
Spy	Sapper	Gives the Spy a speed boost, the ability to walk through Robots, and damage immunity while cloaked. Decloaking inside a Robot causes the Spy to be telefragged.
Spy	Sapper	Gives the Spy a PDA that can build three different support utilities.
