The Speed Pad, also referred to as "Speed Teleporter"[1], is a scrapped Engineer building that would supposed to grant temporary speed boost effect[2] to any teammate player who touched it. This building would be cheaper than standard Teleporter at 25 metal[3] and would also be influenced by Teleporter build and upgrade cost modifiers, such as the Eureka Effect[4]. Upgrade cost is also reduced to fixed (and therefore not influenced by any teleporter upgrade cost modifiers) 100 metal[5]. Upgrade level would affect recharge time[6] and effect duration[7]:
This building was referenced in a modification to the tf/scripts/game_sounds_weapons.txt
file in the December 8, 2014 Patch (End of the Line Update). The following code was added to the file:
