Valve’s latest patch for their multiplayer shooter has spilled beans, all classes will be getting headgear in the future thanks to the new ‘head’ slot opened up.
Also added is a backpack that can store up to 50 different items, which will also let players permanently delete unwanted gear. This looks to be prepping for Valve’s non-Sniper update.
”We’ve got another update in the works that should be done before the Sniper, and that one will include some new content for all classes,” said Valve earlier this month. They’ve also been looking at gear players can pickup that aren’t related to achievements.
See below for what the TF2 development team has cooking.
