Guard Dog Update

The Guard Dog as shown on the update page.

The Guard Dog is a community-made class that was featured by Valve on the official blog.

Gameplay

• The Guard Dog was showcased with three weapons: The Hanger, an SMG-like primary weapon which had at least 100 rounds; The Helper, a device that allowed the Guard Dog to carry health and ammo pickups to teammates; and a melee weapon titled The Hater, which would, upon use, cause the Guard Dog would bite an enemy. The Hater featured the ability to leap a short distance, similar to the Chargin' Targe or the Splendid Screen.
• The Guard Dog possesses two unique abilities. The first would allow players to "Sniff" the fallen weapon or ragdoll of a player, and be able to track them down after their respawn, even is they changed classes or disguised as a Spy. This is represented by an arrow located in the upper-left hand of the player's HUD.
  • The Guard Dog's second unique ability is a cooperative taunt, which dispenses Jarate to a Sniper.
• The Guard Dog's default health is 125.
