Talk:Golden Wrench

I've never heard of this weapon. i'm guessing it's fake. Darkman 4 01:02, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Nevermind, its legit. Darkman 4 01:03, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

This is all only speculation, I'll clean it up. -Firestorm 01:04, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Heh, a VMT file. Time to fire up the model viewer. Vi3trice 01:06, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

SPUF at it again? Delicious cake 01:10, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Oh oh oh, it looks pretty.

Vi3trice 01:18, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I swear I'll rage if this is another service medal... Delicious cake 01:26, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

It looks like it is, considering the line: "TF_HUD_Event_GoldenWrench_C" "%s1 has found Golden Wrench no. %s2!"

This means they are going to be numbered. They might simply be rare. I guess we'll find out soon. -Firestorm 01:27, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Soon enough, I hope. I'm sleepy. Also SPUF is a mess right now. Delicious cake 01:31, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Also "TF_HUD_Event_GoldenWrench_D" "%s1 has destroyed Golden Wrench no. %s2!", which implies that you can actually lose it. Thus I suppose it will be re-obtainable somehow (OMG trading system?) — WindPower 01:41, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Nah, every weapon and item can be destroyed, I think. Delicious cake 01:44, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but it's not normally printed in chat.--Woof 01:45, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I don't recall there being an actual MESSAGE for them though. -Firestorm 01:45, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Another image. About the thing ending up broken, I guess you gotta be SOL. Vi3trice 01:47, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Valve could just be trolling us, tho. Delicious cake 01:53, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Then they're doing a pretty good job. Vi3trice 01:53, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Is it a reskin or a shiny new model? Delicious cake 01:56, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Reskin. Annnd this is just in, one of the UI HUD files that were added in the update seems to hint toward a gamemode. Man with the Golden Wrench? Vi3trice 01:57, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Can be Found

Check out the golden wrench at tf2items.net with extended mode enabled. "Can be found = yes". It can be found through the drop system! -Firestorm 01:58, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

So this leaves two options: Either Valve is trolling us and it's an engi update weapon, or Valve is double-trolling us and they'll change the weapon attributes later/inb4 service medal. Delicious cake 02:05, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

At this point on, we should have gotten used used to it. We always end up trolled. Vi3trice 02:02, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

OR: Maybe the drop system will be changed to drop Golden Wrenches only with a 100% chance of getting one, for a limited time. So it would be like the service medal, but you'll have to be in-game to get it. Delicious cake 02:05, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Never mind that: http://www.tf2items.com/allitems.php?d=1 . Value "150" is mysterious. Vi3trice 02:06, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

You can craft it with an engineer token: http://www.tf2items.com/crafting/blueprints.php. Too bad there's no way to get one right now. Delicious cake 02:13, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Not to asume anything but perhaps the [1=150] is infact the chance of the item being the gold-wrench per-drop?:. Hyenadip

No, the 150 = 1 means that attribute 150 (Probably the "turn enemy into gold") Is activated. Check out some of the other items -Firestorm 03:44, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Valve's probably keeping an eye on SPUF and this page and laughing as we try to figure this out... They'll probably give us another clue tomorrow or something! Delicious cake 03:48, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure this won't be a new Gentlemanne's Service Medal. One, because it's a weapon and not a hat/misc., two because of the "destroyed message", and three, because it will probably have gameplay-changing impacts (for example, picking up the golden statue gives them their max number of HP as Metal? That would make sense, though it would encourage Engineers to go wrench-fu kamikaze more often, which often ends in disaster.) — WindPower 15:12, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

So maybe it's a weapon can only be used in that assumed "Man with the Golden Wrench" gamemode, the numbers having something to do with score or something? I'm thinking of CS:S gungame as I'm writing this. Delicious cake 15:19, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Coded Message source?

Where does one find this coded message in the wild?--RJackson 02:27, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

If you use GCFScape, look for "/materials/hud/d_images_v2" in the game data .gcf's. CarlZalph 03:41, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

We're getting trolled from two sides here. Double-trolling... Sounds dirty. — WindPower 04:20, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Valve.

Oh wow. This is epic. Nice find guys. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 08:36, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Popular!

Woah. This is officially the second most viewed page on the wiki, second only to the Main Page. The POWER of the CURIOUS. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 10:44, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

As the Heavy would say = Not big surprise. OluapPlayer 10:59, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
