Notes
When switching between weapons, there is a 0.67 second delay before the new weapon can be fired. Some weapons can change the delay while equipped, which is applied to all weapons equipped at the time:
- The Degreaser reduces this time by 65%, to 0.23 seconds.
- The Reserve Shooter reduces this time by 15%, to 0.57 seconds.
- The Reserve Shooter and the Degreaser together reduces this time by 70.25%, to 0.19 seconds.
- The Fists of Steel increase this time by 20%, to 0.80 seconds.
Due to odd quirks of the item system, some weapons display in different slots:
- The Spy's secondary slot is displayed where the primary slot for the other classes appear.
- The Engineer's PDA has a slot, yet it doesn't have any alternatives yet.
- The Sapper appears where the secondary slot for the other classes appear for purposes of weapon switching.
- The Spy's PDA2 slot is displayed as PDA.
These quirks do not affect gameplay, but have a bearing on crafting blueprints.
- Note: N/A: Not Applicable. - HP: Health. - sec.: Seconds. - ∞: Unlimited.
