Update history
- The Shred Alert was added to the game.
- Fixed not hearing the sound for the Shred Alert taunt while playing Mann Vs. Machine.
- Fixed players spamming the Shred Alert taunt in spawn rooms by changing their loadout presets.
Bugs
- Taunting while using the Ullapool Caber will taunt with the Ullapool Caber instead of the guitar.
- Taunting while using the Sandman or Wrap Assassin will cause the ball/bauble to disappear in client view.
- As with most other taunts, performing the Rainblower's taunt and sliding off a ledge or being knocked into the air will cancel the taunt but not its animation. However, it will also leave the taunt's particle effects at the place the taunt was initially performed.
- This will also occur if the player is killed during the taunt animation.
- Taunting as a BLU Scout or BLU Soldier will result in them having a red guitar instead of a blue one.
- Being damaged while taunting while using the Sandvich and reskin variants or Buffalo Steak Sandvich will cause it to enter cooldown.
Trivia
- The taunt's name is a play on the words "red alert", meaning the highest level of alert in military or civil defense.
- The decription refers to Yngwie Malmsteen, a Swedish guitarist who has been playing neo-classical style heavy metal music since the 1980's.
