Catapult
 | “Ok guys, bad news: we lost that last one.” This article documents experimental content for Team Fortress 2. It may contain speculation, broken links or errors. |
The Catapult is a scrapped Engineer building seen in footage of a leaked Team Fortress 2 "staging" (indev) build alongside other features that were being worked on for the scrapped Spy vs Engineer WAR! update. It was teased in Lecture Valley[1].
This building was intended to throw player into the air.[2] The interesing moment is that, according to in-code comment, this code was copied from Portal 2 and then modified. In fact, Team Fortress 2.fgb file has the entire copy-pasted Portal 2 Catapult code chunk, which additionally proves this comment.
Building speed for this teleporter type is increasesd 4 times (approximately 5.2 seconds) when constructed and 7 times (3 seconds) when redeployed.[3]
