Jarate is a powerful effect, and this weapon makes it too easy for one Sniper to substantially increase the damage potential of their team.

Holster time reduced to 0.8 seconds (from 1.1).

We erred on the side of conservative with the initial design - as this item introduces a lot of mobility to a class that's typically lacked it - but having watched players for a while, we think it is safe to make it easier for Pyros to switch back to their weapon.

Added: 'Sketchek's Bequest: Killing blows on burning players grant a speed boost'.

Receives a damage bonus based on the remaining duration of after-burn.

Attacks mini-crit and then extinguish burning targets.

The design goal of this pass is to embrace the concept of a finishing-move weapon - which requires planning, timing, and introduces opportunity for 'combo' gameplay.

The slow deploy time - which is there to help 'pay' for the burst-damage this weapon is capable of - hasn't been very well received, and we agree that it feels awkward.

Increased explosion damage to 350 (from 250).

Fixed the triggering bot not taking explosion damage.

Fixed an issue where explosive damage could be reapplied for each target in the gas cloud.

TEAM FORTRESS 2 WEAPONS UPGRADE

Damage from the upgrade no longer counts toward the refilling the item's charge meter.Changes to the 'Explode On Ignite' upgrade in Mann vs.We've increased base damage to help offset some of the reduction in output these fixes bring about. Machine upgrade 'Explode on Ignite' that resulted in it doing far more damage than intended. We found a couple of issues with the Mann vs.Bonus damage against a burning target now requires the fireball's center to make contact with the target's hitbox.The size/radius of the fireball has been reduced by 25%.We are happy with the design of this weapon, and the playstyle it brings, but it should require tighter hit tolerances in order to reach the higher-end of the damage range.Initial flame damage per second reduced by 50%, resulting in the max damage being unchanged.Flame damage per second now ramps up based on density of flame encountered, up to 200%.We've made changes geared toward preserving the current damage range of flamethrowers, but requiring better aim to do so.

Flamethrowers were able to do full damage regardless of the spread of their flames, rewarding maximizing flame spread over focusing on a target.

Players who are in a party and not the party leader are now able to freely browse any of the matchmaking menus.

Players can queue for all match types in parallel, but accepting a Competitive or Mann Up match will remove the player from other queues.

You can now queue for multiple match types at the same time.

While queued and in-game, queue status will be shown in the top right.

You can now queue for a match while already in a Casual or Boot Camp match.

Updated the match-end map voting to only vote on maps for the current game mode (if you are playing Payload, you will only vote on Payload maps).

Added ctf_sawmill, ctf_well, cp_5gorge, ctf_2fort_invasion, and ctf_foundry to Casual Mode.

The maps listed in the Casual matchmaking screen are now sorted alphabetically.

Casual Mode now uses the Glicko skill rating system behind the scenes to better create balanced matches and group players by skill level.

The requirements to access Competitive Mode have changed: If you do not own a Competitive Matchmaking Pass, you must now be at least Casual level 3 in addition to being a Premium user and having a valid phone number associated with your account.

The new system - by way of placement matches - considerably shortens the time required to reach an appropriate rank

Note: The previous system started everyone at Rank 1, and required - in most cases - considerable time for players to reach a rank that properly reflected their performance.

Competitive ranks have been reset and players must win 10 matches to earn a new Competitive rank.

You can view the new ranks on the updated Competitive FAQ page ()

The old 18 Competitive ranks have been consolidated into 13 new ranks.

Players will now be ranked using a model based on the Glicko rating system used in CS:GO.

The matchmaking system used for Competitive Mode has been overhauled.
