Acquired my 20th unusual hat yesterday. I was looking for an all-class unusual with a weather effect, and I got one: a stormy storm horrific headsplitter. According to backpack, there are only 3 in existence, and its worth about 6.4 buds. Cost me 3 of my unusuals to get: my massed flies brain slug, my blizzardy private eye, and my smoking texas ten gallon. That's about 5.6 buds, but I really liked those hats, so felt like a steep price. Anyway, I now only have 4 unusuals:

Planets grimme hatte
Ghosts Ushanka
Blizzardy luchador
Stormy headsplitter

I think my plan is to put the headsplitter on the market and see if I can't get a cheaper all class and sweets, but if I can't I'm happy to keep it. I like that its such a rare hat. I also have 9 keys and 42 ref, so if I keep building up my stocks I may make a play at a crappy unusual for one of my classes, so I have a bit more diversity (all my classes now can wear an unusual, but only heavy and medic have their own).

In other news, I've almost built a killstreaker natascha. Excited to see how that plays.

I'll post a pic next time.

that'll help you figure out how it works and look at what you'll be your new looks

i just tested it and it worked ... you don't have to put a specific killstreak weapon to complete a specialzed kit fabricator ... i put a KS escape plan to fill a sydney sleeper specialized fabricator ..

Thanks Julien.

I finally made my Natascha killstreaker. On my very first run with it, I got a 41 kill streak, which is likely my kill record with Natascha.

I may make a blackbox killstreaker, though I'm also trying to sell it.

Right now I have 9 keys and like 40 ref. Not really sure what to do with it.

after a bit of thinking, i finally thought that only professional killstreaks are worth putting on my weapons. regular and specialized are usefull to build them but i don't really care about them. i mostly build them to put them on the market and get money.

SO, i FINALLY finished my second profesionnal weapon, the pistol

Killstreaker: Incinerator
Sheen: Hot Rod (purple'ish)

and you know that i have the sandman already. i just need the scattergun one and i'm all set then, i'll get on soldier ... i don't know if i should build the shovel professional fabricator kit that i have tho.

i'm at 1 mission to finish my 10th mission and i'm really not done playing this. unless i have a super duper australium that i can sell for a lot of money and buy all the kits i want , i can't wait to put my hand on one !!!

[C-Fan]

I think I've done 4 or 5 tours, and I still haven't even SEEN somebody get an australium wep. I also have never gotten a pro kill kit. Only specialized ones.

I sold my specialized black box kit today. I got back 3 TOD, a fast learner, and a level 69 MK1 botkiller rocket launcher. I put the botkiller up for trade, and got back a key and a tod ticket. So all told I got back 4 tod, a key, and a fast learner. Going to do another tour and see what I get in it. I really like the new maps.

I think I've done 4 or 5 tours, and I still haven't even SEEN somebody get an australium wep. .

On my 8th tour, I finally saw somebody get one. It was kinda ridiculous too:

The scout in my group has an australium scattergun, which he says he won in his last tour (28th or something)
As we play, he jokingly says: "how cool would it be if I got another australium wep? I bet the odds are astronomical." I agree.
The round ends, and he gets us all credit bonuses (yet I somehow didn't get the achievement for that?)
Everybody gets their standard loot, and he gets his last.
He somehow got 4 boxes for tour completion?!?! I'd never seen that before.
His first two boxes are really good: a jag ks kit, and a professional sniper rifle fabricator. I forgot what his third box was.
His fourth box was an australium knife.

So this guy got australium weps in consecutive tours. Wow.

In more personal news, I acquired a new unusual. I traded my orbiting planets grimme hatte (1.1 buds) and 1 bud of keys/sweets, and obtained a Dead Presidents (floating money) Bear Necessities (Heavy hat, basically a bear head). I can't find a value online for it, but I'm sure its well over 2 buds. More importantly, I can wear it with my blizzardy luchador, so it looks like I have a snowy bear head with orbiting money. I'll post a pic later.

Almost done with my specialized minigun kit...may end up using it if I don't get a ridiculous offer.

Nice !!! I will get back home later tonight and come back in mvm on monday, i hope all the noobs that came with the cheap tickets are gone. I left my home in dec 23th and im home sick right now. We were supposed to get back on jan 5th. I might play mvm tomorrow or sunday tho.

[akalazou]

i finally sold my v spec kritzkrieg for 6.44$ (in my pocket) so i decided to build myself a kick ass mvm scout load out.

at the end, i'll have a strange festive specialized force-a-nature (still have to buy the spec fab kit, i need 0.09$ :-/ )
a mad milk :-/
and a genuine profesionnal Fan o'war (incinirator, mean green)

i only need 9 parts to build another spec kritz now

and i still have like 27 tickets

[akalazou]

bought the spec for the FAN ... Deadly Daffodil

[C-Fan]

Nice man! We really need to do another mission together. I've had a bad run of getting on servers where nobody has more than 2 tours completed. I do what I can to teach them, but after 3 failed waves I leave.

Also thanks for turning me on to the market. It's a great system to buy a good fabricator for $2, do a tour (also $2) and then sell your completed ks kit for $6. Yeah its only a $2 profit, but I would have played the maps anyway, and its nice to not lose money on the deal.

[C-Fan]

Tonight I beat Bavarian Botbash. It was notable, cause our team only had 5 people throughout. While waiting for the first wave, we got tired waiting for a 6th. We did the first two waves without failing, then decided to push through. Pretty amazing team to be able to do that...lots of fun.

TOD tickets are back to $1 in the store. When they were 50 cents I bought a few, but now Im less likely to keep doing MVM now that theyre more expensive again.

[akalazou]

nice one on BB ... me and my news friend almost did the smae thing on the 2nd map, we never beat wave 5 tho, with the 8 bonked scouts i didn'T have a heavy ... but we beat wave 3 and 4 and get 100% of the money, we lost wave5 two times but we had all the money too, those f*cking scouts !!! even the 54 crit heavies were not a problem

you'll still be able to buy tickets with the money you make from selling your spec kits on the market KEEP PLAYING !!

[akalazou]

i have completed my mvm scout load out !!!!

strange festive specialized force-a-nature
milk
genuine professional fan o'war

i'm glad i have sold my second v kritz on the market, so i could afford like 98% of the parts i needed to finish to build both fabs

build one > sell it > build two with the money you get from it

[C-Fan]

Prop Julien. I am just now learning how hard it is to make a pro kit.

Today I bought a pro fabricator for sniper rifle for 3 keys ($7.47). Singularity effect, emerald sheen. Cheapest fabricator for this on the market now is $66. Gonna try and build it then sell it cheapest kit is around $87), but now I need to make spec unique weps for it.

[akalazou]

omfg !!!!! awesome deal !! pro are long to build but i think they worth it.

are you gonna sell it on the market or is it for you ?

on another note, i just finished to build my first spec scattergun (team shine). i pût it on a strange scattergun and i'm trying to sell it for 18$ (15.66$ for me) there is no team shine on the market and there is only 4 on the market. according to the sell history, i might be able to sell before the next time i play. they usually sell around 15$ tho the kit itself is around 12$ on the market, so i'm taking a chance but i don't think i'll stay with it. if i do, i can always sell it for like 13$ and still higher than a kit ... next objective is to build the other spec scatter (team shine) for myself, i already started with the parts i didn't need when i was building the first one, so it won't take long.

if i sell the item on the market, i'm gonna buy a spec rocket launcher idk the color i want tho, i might be lucky and find one before i buy one tho : since i'm not there yet, i don't need to buy it asap

[C-Fan]

are you gonna sell it on the market or is it for you ?

Sold for $76.04 just now (somebody paid $85, and I got $76). Wow. So I figure I put in close to $18 into building it (3 keys for fab, $1.50 for special parts, $8 for two spec kits), so I'm thrilled I got $76 for it. So now I have $94.74 in the market, which I can use to buy videogames or other items. Wow.

I celebrated by opening a crate 42. I got a bldgs destroyed part, which is worth 1.5 keys. Nice.

[akalazou]

that`s fricking awesome man !!! congrats

[C-Fan]

Thanks Julien!

Today I acquired an unusual in the weirdest way. I was tired of the new MVM maps, and I only needed one more map on Bonebreaker to complete that tour, so I played with Eric Chang. We complete the map, I get my loot... and it's a silver botkiller minigun mk II. Nothing to write home about. But then I go to my trading website, and see if anybody is searching for that series botkiller. I find a guy who is.

I trade him:
Silver Botkiller Minigun MK II

He trades me:

1 key (already worth double my botkiller)
Blizzardy handyman handle!

I would have been happy just getting a key for it! The unusual isn't worth much (16-17 keys), but still. Very stoked on this.

[akalazou]

what is that website ? i only kow outpost.
