Team Fortress 2 Cleans Up Cosmetics, Zipline Movement, and Two Maps

Team Fortress 2 has received an update focused on cosmetic presentation, taunt cleanup, and map fixes. The patch also changes how players leave ziplines on pl_redwood, with faster dismount timing and revised jump-speed behavior.

Valve says the update will install automatically the next time players restart the game. The full list of changes is available in the official Team Fortress 2 update notice.

Alongside several item fixes, koth_camp_saxton received an optimization pass and a series of collision and visual adjustments. The pl_redwood changes also address parachute behavior, mid-air dismounts, and mini-crit interactions with the Direct Hit and Reserve Shooter.
