there is one on gully mid and you can hide sticks in it, god damnit valve
https://i.imgur.com/zGivFWS.png
(the other 6 sticks are obv hidden, this also means gully isnt symmetrical on mid as you can stand on it. They are solid for rockets so you get a slightly moved up wall to jump off on soldier, and you CANNOT build guns in them which is good i guess)

Robin Atkin Downes also included a brief but somber in-character tribute to Rick May in his most recent video that he uploaded for his fans, where he reprises Kaz from MGS reaching out to Snake in hard times to show him a video of Medic from TF2 demonstrating how to (not) wash hands during the COVID-19 pandemic.
I really appreciate the effort they've put into Rick's memorialization such as the bronze statues as well as the Taps rendition on the menu screen but it does suck that the statues are intrusive for gameplay, putting them in spawn probably would have been the best way to go about this.

Hello,
This is a great tribute.
I hope you can understand that I mean in no way to be insensitive, but this unfortunately affects competitive play, as such I've taken the liberty to update my mod to allow making it not clip, and partially transparent. Here is a preview:
https://i.imgur.com/7Y1vspH.png
I'll be asking Arie to update serveme servers, for the time being, you can completely remove the statues with the command
rcon ent_remove entity_soldier_statue
EDIT: Latest version is on serveme, `rcon sm_cf fixes` will make it noclip and half-transparent like in the screenshot.
Thank you, stay safe, stay home.

u joke but i would not be surprised if the most hardcore reddit pubbers would be offended that comp players disable the tribute statue lol. not that we shouldnt be disabling it or that it isn't a good tribute - it's a nice tribute but we should still disable dat shit.

True but I guess those would be the same people who still believe that filthy comp players ban 95% of the items so I don't think it'll make a big difference

the traps are clearly an inside joke/prank between the soldier and demo, they are best pals after all.
