Talk:Defaced Detonator

Bug

Every cosmetic with no equip region works like this, some examples are the Antlers and the Free Mann's Fashion. This is expected behavior. On that note, this item is cannot be unusual as it was never a hat. Cheezcracker (talk) 19:53, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

It would still count as a bug, bugs are not necessarily unintended consequences, but it being able to be equipped multiple times is a bug as it should be on every other cosmetic that has the same ability.

What about it is a bug exactly? Even since the earbuds this has just been a thing that you could do and there is no reason you shouldn't be able to. Having no equip region logically, and expectedly, means you can equip it with anything, including itself. If you think the same item is being equipped, that's not what's going on. It is multiple different instances of the same items with unique ids, not the same exact item being equipped multiple times in the same loadout.Cheezcracker (talk) 19:58, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

As Help:Style guide/Bugs mentions, bugs aren't strictly about malfunctions. The More Gun Marshal's model being a gigantic ERROR because it pointed to the wrong model wasn't technically a bug, because it was just pointing to the wrong model. It was still be counted as a bug.

Again, how is this exactly a bug? It is expected behavior. If something has no equip region, you expect it to be able to be equipped with anything, and anything includes itself. Even if it was a bug, it wouldn't be a bug with the item itself, but rather with the "None" equip region. Cheezcracker (talk) 20:04, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Bugs are not exclusive to unexpected behaviour, as I've said twice already.

I doubt this is unintended. The Free Mann's Fashion had Glasses and Beard equip regions before being changed to none, due to each style taking up separate parts of the face, so if you wanted to use just the beard with different glasses or vice versa, you couldn't. The Defaced Detonator's two styles take up different parts of the face, the same applies. It seems intentional that if an item can be equipped with anything, it includes itself. We have no reason to believe valve did not intend this. Cheezcracker (talk) 20:12, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Items with no equip region being able to be equipped with themselves is almost certainly intentional, or at least known and decidedly not changed, you could argue that this item having no equip region was an accident, but i doubt that as well. If valve finds out this item has no equip region, they will very likely not change that due to what happened with unusual miscs, and it would become known and decidedly not changed, which for all intents and purposes is intentional, and is thus not a bug.

Gus Fring reference image?

Hey I know that this is a reference to when Gus Fring in Breaking Bad gets half of his face blown off, but I'm weary about adding a reference image that has realistic gore like that... I don't think the Wiki has any kind of spoiler-filters on it.--ShadowMan44 (talk) 02:12, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

I would normally advocate having a reference image/video for trivia but this particular case I would say it's probably best to skip it. When I added the trivia to the page initially I thought about a reference image or video but decided against it. First is the gore aspect like you mentioned and second is the reference is a major moment in the show and I don't really want to indirectly completely spoil that for people who haven't watched it yet. I sorta tried to word it in a semi-vague way to the best of my abilites because just saying "It's a reference to when Gus gets half his face blow off and dies" is a pretty major spoiler for the show. So I think it's probably better to not have a reference in this case but that's just my opinion. Mediarch ♥ Talk ♥ My Edits 02:44, 20 October 2024 (UTC)
