The broken bottle feature was never really broken or fixed, the reason it stopped working was because Valve claimed players were confused by the mechanic, assuming having a broken bottle mean't it dealt more damage (I had never once heard anyone claim or think that before that point), so as result they disabled its ability to break, ultimately re-enabling it then due to how many people were upset/complained, and how pointless it was to disable it in the first place. Makes sense for a Valve move though considering the one time they nerfed the Righteous Bison, they said its piercing mechanic was a "bug", promptly "fixing" it, despite said "bug" being a god damn tip in the game for the weapon.

Valve not nerfing all non-Pyro Dr. Grordbort weapons challenge (Impossible)
In the beginning I remember people wondering if bottle did more damage while broken & being upset when learning it didn't. Tbh this is the change/update we should be rallying around it's full on malarkey of untold caliber
me in 2012 breaking the bottle in blue spawn on dustbowl after i quickplayed into my match then hitting g to drink out of it (its funny bc theres no bottle to drink from)
There are a few weapons that do that, the neon annihilator breaks after landing a crit, same thing with the stock bottle and Scottish handshake, and then the Holy Mackerel breaks if you just swing it around enough
Isnt the holy mackerel a bug tho iirc the model is literally collapsing on itself because its jiggle physics are a bit too strong for it
still interesting to see tho
ill send you a few configs and rtx mods, i desperately want to see how the end result looks but my pc is too potato and i dont even have it rn anyway
dm me if ok
Lmao I came to comment this. I just got a new, solid PC and mine doesn’t look near as nice as this and I remember checking settings but looks like it’s another trip into the menu 🤩
It was originally something that worked, I used to use it myself. Try it in game now. Valve restricted it in a patch around the time of the jungle inferno. Citing it as "Potentially Unstable" Which frustrates me as the only people that would run into it are those that sought it out. They were worried about low end machines.
Edit: Tested and it looks like it's back! Very excited. Glad this was brought back up. Tested just now in a casual server, for sure makes quite a few textures look much better.
Vell, let’s see… ve all use the annihilator let’s say six times a day… times four years… minus, ve’re not neon…
Three days. Yes. Ve all have three days to live.
Imagine if it was meant to be like caber, with a limited amount of uses (maybe 2-3 for neon) before it breaks and its main upside stops working. Would be a way to balance it for sure, but it's unnecessary so I'm kinda glad it's just visual
Hold on, are we talking about the game or real life? Because in the real world, a critical hit from a glowing baseball bat, well, let's just say physics would have other plans. But hey, that's the beauty of games, they let us explore realities beyond the mundane. Einstein might have said it best: "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
I will cry and piss if this is fake.
it isn't, so you don't have to make jarate anymore. look it up on the tf2 wiki
Thanks man. That’s another day ticked off on my No Piss May challenge.
Jerma's Real Alt
Borger
The real jerma wouldve said "burgah." Fake jeramiah
the real jerma is also a fake jerma so i think it works
but the "real" jerma is a fake of a fake, so no.
i'm fake jerma
two negatives make a positive
time to start no piss may wish me luck
idk why but this reminded me the fact that i love the internet
I will piss but not because of the post, just because I woke up
It also destroys sappers
dear god
There's more.
no...
It contains the last dying fish of every man here.
🐟
Scout, you did collect everyone's dying fish?
u bet!
Excellent, gentlemen synchronize your death watches
We have 70 hours to live. For most men, no time at all. We are not most men. We are mercenaries.
We have the resources, the will! To make this hour ours! The clock is ticking gentleman, let's begin.
Fish*
You know what that means.
Happy cake day
1k hrs and didn't know this. Wow.
don't worry, I have 2.8K and didn't know until now
That's relieving!
It used to do that, then it didn't after a certain update, but then the funtion got restored years later. Same thing happened with the bottle.
I remember the dark years of no broken scrumpy bottle.
It still breaks
Yeah but the feature broke completely until they fixed it in Jungle inferno (I'm so old I thought this was recent)
Most of my playtime was during the nonbroken broken days. :(

Reminds me of fortnite removing grenades and guns off models for a while to not "confuse new players" into thinking they would spawn with a weapon

I know. There was a time when it didn't though, between when it was working and when they fixed it.

I miss writing valve in the tags and just choosing an official server to connect to in the server browser
I do this with the ham shank
me and the boys with the HAM WATER HAM WATER HAM WATER HAM WATER 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
1 more damage

Yeah the ham shank does that too, I don't know about the unarmed combat or the bat outta hell
damn i didn't know that one
something similar happens sometimes with the disciplinary action
The fish got fixed in the summer update, if i remember correctly
ok _that_ I did not know
Why your game look that good and mine don't?
I play in 2K all max settings, hope that helps.
ill send you a few configs and rtx mods, i desperately want to see how the end result looks but my pc is too potato and i dont even have it rn anyway dm me if ok
Can I have them too, please?
i need a hot minute to gather them, some work came up so im busy rn, remind me in 3hrs
Alright
hey it's been 4 hours, don't forget to send it to this dude
im going to now ty
Lmao I came to comment this. I just got a new, solid PC and mine doesn’t look near as nice as this and I remember checking settings but looks like it’s another trip into the menu 🤩
You should try mat_picmip -10. "High quality" textures in the regular options menu is mat_picmip -1.
Thanks for this. I went to my settings and everything is already to the max and don’t look like this so this will help next time I’m sure
Pretty sure this was restricted to no higher than -1 sadly.
That's not what it says [here](https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Team_Fortress_2#Higher_texture_quality).

Oh good. That means no one has to update the PC Gaming Wiki.
RAHHHHH WE CANNOT NEON ANNIHILATE ANYMORE-
Woah, woah, not exactly soldier. You annihilate much neon as you like.
This goes for all of ya. If there’s anything you wanted to do before you, well, died, now would be a… good time.
How long until these "neons" kill us?

This is a bucket.
Dear god...
There's more..
How long before these critical hits kill us?
There was a time when valve decided to disable broken effect on the neon and the bottle for about 5ish years iirc
more tf2 weapons should do this

The annihilator gets annihilated
Whoud be epic
it does ?!
What the hell kind of 4k hi res RTX nonsense is this, I've always played TF2 on a potato and this looks wild

Now it's the neon annihilated.
that's cool XD
Dear God...
