Update history
July 19, 2011 [Item schema update]
- The item was added to the item schema as 'Mystery Item'.[1]
- The Righteous Bison was added to the game.
Bugs
- Causing an enemy spy to feign death with the Bison will sometimes create 2 corpses: one 'ragdoll' corpse and one 'vaporized' corpse.
- This weapon will not set off pumpkin bombs, due to the projectiles traveling through them.
- With viewmodels disabled, the projectile cannot be seen by the Soldier firing it.
Trivia
- The appearance of this weapon is based on that of 'The Righteous Bison - Indivisible Particle Smasher', which can be purchased from the online store at Weta Workshop.
- Weta Workshop held a panel at Template:W 2011, and handed out coupon codes to visitors, which could be redeemed in Team Fortress 2 for a Unique and untradable Righteous Bison.[2]
- The unique death animation is a nod to a death animation used in Template:W.
