System losowych przedmiotów jest systemem wprowadzonym by łatwiej otrzymywać dużą ilość przedmiotów w TF2 i utrzymać równowagę podczas aktualizacji klasowych. Po raz pierwszy zostało wprowadzone podczas aktualizacji Szpiega i Snajpera, i od tego czasu był zmieniany by zrobić go sprawiedliwym między słabszymi i lepszymi graczami, a także do udaremniania idlingu.

Aktualny system

Aktualny system dropu został wprowadzony w kwietniu 20, 2010. Gracze znajdują przedmioty w przedziale od 15 do 75 minut. Poprzedni system (zobacz sekcje Poprzedni system niżej) rolled at random intervals to determine if a player received an item drop, resulting in unlucky streaks for some players where no items were found for long periods of time. The current system has removed this possibility and increased the rate at which items drop.

There is no cap on the amount of items that can be received per week, but instead a cap on the amount of playtime in which drops can occur. This cap has been estimated to 11 hours each week. Playing beyond the cap won't yield additional items. Playing less than the cap carries over unused time to the next week, increasing that week's cap to a maximum of two weeks' worth of playtime. It has been estimated that a maximum of 6 to 12 items can be found each week. Receiving a Mann Co. Supply Crate does not count against the cap. The system resets each player's playtime cap every Thursday at approximately 0:00AM Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

The dropped items are stored in the backpack after the player's death, after a trade is completed, if a purchase is made at the Mann Co. Store, or if ten Dueling Mini-Game duels are won. If the player leaves the server after receiving an item but before storing it in the backpack, a notification will alert the player of the new item(s) when the main menu is visited. Occasionally, dropped, traded, or crafted items may get stuck "in limbo" and may not immediately appear in the player's backpack. This may occur on instant respawn servers blocking the "New Item Found!" screen pop-up. Visiting the Mann. Co. Store will usually restore these items to the player's backpack.

While it has always been perceived that each weapon has an equal chance of being dropped to the player, it appears that certain weapons that form part of an item set will drop more often or less often than others. It is not known exactly which of these weapons are are the rarer or common ones. [1]

Zalety i Wady

A positive aspect of the system is that it allows new and old players alike to earn unlockable weapons by investing play time. It allows players to play as any class, since as long as they are racking up game-time, the player is eligible for an item drop. But if players play for more than 11 hours a week, they will not be rewarded for their extra play time.

Many players received unwanted duplicates; this issue was resolved by the introduction of the crafting system, and later by the trading system, allowing players to respectively craft and trade many of the available items (with some exceptions) with each other.

Despite the new systems, idling still exists. It is also possible to idle for items using the offline mode, alleviating the need for dedicated idling servers. Some idlers choose to disable video and audio by launching the game with the parameters -textmode and -nosound.

Kamienie milowe osiągnięć

W Kwietniu 29, 2008, Valve zaprezentował zestaw trzech broni do odblokowania jako część aktualizacji Gold Rush. Te bronie były odblokowywane poprzez wypełnianie określonej liczby osiągnięć, które kończył kamień milowy klasy. Były trzy kamienie milowe, każdy kolejny wymagał więcej osiągnięć. Kiedy kamień milowy został odblokowany, gracz otrzymywał zestaw broni dołączonej do danego kamienia milowego. Wymóg ten został później zredukowany, aby ograniczyć graczy od zdobywania osiągnięć tylko po to żeby je odblokować.

W Maju 21, 2009, Valve wprowadził nowy system losowych przedmiotów dla odblokowywanych rzeczy, który zastąpił system kamieni milowych. Valve jednak szybko przywrócił kamienie milowe, teraz jednak zostały połączone z systemem losowych przedmiotów oraz wprowadzono kamienie dla Snajpera i Szpiega w łatce z 29 Maja 2009. Ten system kamieni milowych został użyty w WOJNA! oraz w Aktualizacji Inżyniera.

Historia

Poprzedni system

Backpack icon, used before the Mann-Conomy Update.

While keeping the Achievement Milestones already present for the Scout, Pyro, Heavy and Medic, Valve implemented the random drop system to maintain class balance in the event of a class update. This system was patched into the game as part of the Sniper vs. Spy Update on May 21, 2009.

Valve calculated the average time a regular Team Fortress 2 player played, then came up with a standard time which was used as a marker or set point. Every 25 minutes of gameplay, the game calculated a random number to determine whether the player would receive an item. If the player was lucky (25% per item chance), then he or she would find a randomly chosen weapon. If the player was unlucky (75% chance), then he or she would receive nothing and the timer would reset. In addition, there was a separate timer which ran on a 15,430 second (4 hours, 17 minutes, and 10 seconds) interval, which gave an additional 1 in 28 chance of receiving a hat. The average time for finding a single item was 1 hour, 40 minutes (including duplicates). Since weapons were granted via a random number generator, experiences varied.

When first released, item drops would only occur if players were connected to the Steam Community. If the player was not signed into his or her friends list, or if Valve was performing maintenance on the Steam Community, the player would not receive item drops during that time.

Double Drop-Rate Week

On December 22, 2010, Valve announced that the item drop rate would double from December 23, 2010, through to December 30, 2010. All players during that period were also awarded a Stocking Stuffer Key.
