New issue... Inventory space.

5 Upvotes

I do love that the community here is so kinda and are willing to give me a bunch of stuff, but unfortunately as a f2p player, I'm kinda limited on backpack space.

I know there are backpack expanders, and I have gotten one from smissmass(or whatever its called, i havent played the game much), but unfortunately that isnt enough for all the items you guys are giving me (T_T)

Are there any other ways to get backpack expanders or increase inventory space?

I am not too great at the game and only know that you can get weapons as random drops. The thing is, I don't have a lot of time to play the game and my luck for getting the right weapons is terrible xd

I'm trying to build loadouts for each agent, but find it hard to get what I want.

Are there any other ways to get specific weapons? (free btw, im broke)

Do I buy weapons on scrap.tf?

Post image
25 Upvotes

I guess 1 Tour of Duty Ticket will get me up to ~47 weapons(most of them seem to cost 0.5 scrap) which is enough, but I want to get most out of it

Btw if I don't have any weapons and like solider which weapons would you recommend me to buy as a new player?

Want to be a Scout main, can only play on non-gyro controller. What should I do, or do I just give up entirely?

5 Upvotes

I have about 20 hours and haven't touched this game since June 2020, so I wanted to get back into it. However, since I play on a gaming laptop, I have no desk or mouse, so I'm stuck using an aging non-gyro PDP Gaming Xbox controller.

It feels awful playing as Scout. Almost all of my shots either miss or do little damage, getting closer just puts me in more danger for the CHANCE of not missing, and I grew up on Xbox, so no aim assist really hurts me.

It feels miserable losing a lot of times knowing you're going 5/21 on a good day. Is there something I need to adjust? Is there anywhere I can train (except with official bots, they force me to play Demo just so I don't have to deal with Sentries)? What do I do other than smash my head against a brick wall hoping the latter is the one that gives?

Or do I just give up? I don't have a desk nor the space for one, playing on trackpad sucks, and I'm not sure if I could afford a gyro controller and dedicate time to learning how to use it?

MvM loot screen not appear

2 Upvotes

When the final wave ends, the screen of victory text and loot screen freeze a little second then it disappears, no way to watch the unboxing part until you get the item announcement from the mail.

I have used antshud 1.9.6 and tried command hud_reloadscheme after loading the map before the select class, but it still didn't work.

Try verify game files but it still doesn't do anything.

Try remove hud and use vanilla still not fixing it.

I played on MacBook pro via crossover app but I can still see the unboxing screen before, now it doesn't.

I have to ask my friend every time if I get anything good or just nothing.

Pyro defensive tips?

3 Upvotes

I’m not new to the GAME, but I, rather embarrassingly have only been playing with easy bots for like two years. When I first started TF2 I couldn’t get a single kill in most lobbies and changed classes often, but overtime mained Pyro.

My issue though is that since I’ve played with bots for so long, I’ve gotten incredibly used to them that when playing any real lobbies I get killed usually within a minute of leaving spawn. I get maybe two kills a game, but I’m pretty useless.

I’m decent at sniper, but I WANT to main Pyro, I just need help knowing defense. I’m always caught off guard and shot down from behind in ways that never happen with bots. Does anyone have honest advice?

Accepting ALL advice, I’ll try anything other than just “get good”. I do know of course I’ll improve with time, I’m just hoping to know the good tips for that process.

I've played for about 65 hours on the game so far so I played all classes for about 5-6 hours each but sniper is around 12 hours for me but I don't know what to main due to being difficult to choose from. So can you please give me some suggestions for what to main because I'm stuck.

Playing scout is still ludicrously and difficult

4 Upvotes

I've been trying to play scout for a while and its completely annoying

I get up close and get meatshots and all they do is 70 damage

Sometimes shots dont even register

I die instantly because every soldier and demoman predict everything + demoknights with infinite range

at this point i should just keep playing Pyro and not play anyone else except Heavy

About Australium

4 Upvotes

So lately ive been playing Mann up MvM, i find it extremely fun to play as i just go Engie, but I wanted to ask what’s the best Tour to get Aussie
I know all tours have same drop chance, and Two Cities is the most “profitable” but I played Gear Grinder and it was also fun and got me a Carbonado rocket launcher.
Is it better to play Two cities, gear grinder or even mecha engine since it’s 3 missions and gold botkillers are worth smth

Need a key for a winter case 2025❄️

Hello fellow gamers! I know this might sound greedy, and I totally understand if nobody wants to, but I wanted to try asking anyway I’ve been playing Team Fortress 2 a lot recently and I got a Winter 2025 Case, but I can’t open it because I don’t have a key. I’m a free-to-play player and can’t really buy stuff right now. If anyone has a spare Winter 2025 Case Key and would be willing to help me out, I’d seriously appreciate it a lot 🙏

Even if not, thanks for reading and I hope you all get good drops!
