Gloop Gun, we Unreal now.

i hope these are just reskins
god we do not need new items there are too many terribly designed/balanced ones already

I kinda half-agree; I don't think that we don't need new weapons at all, but I agree in the sense that I do think it would be pretty silly to add new weapons with so many that are still imbalanced, either in being underpowered or overpowered or just straight-up conceptually flawed.

Once a lot more rebalancing has been done, bring the new weapons on, would be great, but while so many weapons still need tweaks that should be the focus for sure.

It's possible that the new weapons could be used to re-balanced some of the existing ones (I'm thinking of something along the lines of the Equalizer split)

Its good that maybe they are going to put in new weapons but actually we dont need them now becouse there is still a lot of stuff to fix from the update.

Wasn't this confirmed to be fake?

I literally had nothing to do....
There is no real point of adding items to TF2, but I highly doubt these will be just reskins.

I can't find the source, but I remember someone saying these were just some custom skins some player had that they confused for Valve stuff. It seems really unlikely that three mediguns would be added.

To the people saying this was confirmed fake, etc. - this may be correct, but unless I'm very much mistaken, in the picture on the update's Part 2 page, look at the weapon pile in the bottom right corner of the "weapon balancing" picture; is that not the Afterburner (the green flamethrower) there in the pile? The tip/nozzle/whatever of it is quite distinctive and it looks identical.

It's fake until they show where in the files this was added.

I've dug through literally everything the Gun Mettle update put out there, and while I've found references to matchmaking in translations, there were no new models like this added. The most I found was the c_model additions that they noted in the changelog.

Yes, that's the Afterburner, without a doubt. This "leak" is still fake though, until it can be proven.

I'm not doubting that they'll add new weapons, nor that the Afterburner won't be added (it's a great model), I'm just doubting the validity of the source.

Entirely agree with everything said here, but whilst I don't think we should trust this unless sources can be cited, I think it's just nice to know what we're dealing with in the event that it happens to be real, particularly with the Afterburner being present in the "leak" and also teased on the update page.

After raiku selflessly scoured the Workshop to find everything, the final tally seems to be:
Two sniper rifles
One rocket launcher
Two Engie primaries
Two Engie pistols
One multiclass shotgun
One knife
One kukri
One Demo melee
One minigun
Three (!!!) mediguns
Two needleguns
Three flamethrowers
One Pyro shotgun
One Pyro melee
One sapper

As yttrium very eloquently and correctly says, leaks like this are always fake until proven real, but if it happens to be accurate we're dealing with some serious stuff.

Found the source. Apparently somebody on facepunch used this as a troll; the weapons are from the "Advanced Weaponiser" mod.

Death to facepunch!

Pretty much as I figured.

On that note, though... Who's ready for the Afterburner? Increased afterburn damage for decreased fire damage!

That, or something to do with airblast intensity or frequency.
