Update history

June 23, 2011 Patch (Über Update)

• The Market Gardener was added to the game.

June 28, 2011 Patch

• Added/Refined recoil/draw/crit/reload forces for all of the new weapons in the Über Update.

Bugs

• As the Soldier holds this weapon with one hand (the right hand that is) increasing the viewmodel field of view (EX: 120) the player is able to see the left arm of the soldier.

Trivia

• The item's name is a reference to Template:W which was the largest airborne operation in World War II. Around 14,589 allied soldiers were landed by glider and 20,011 by parachute behind German enemy lines.
• The item was initally designed to be a cross between a pickaxe and a Shovel, however, in the final stages of development, the pickaxe was removed, and the Market Gardener remains a Shovel.
  • Its backpack image still uses the scrapped version of the Market Gardener.
