If you die holding it it makes the metal pipe noise would be cool

backstabbing someone with a lead pipe is funny I will be getting this as soon as it comes out

How many great lead pipe models do we need in the workshop before one gets added? Fingers crossed this one gets in with the new styles and the achievement tie-in.

Also why is suddenly now when the workshop starts complaining about a weapon being all class? Everyone says they want the Frying Pan to be all class, but suddenly no one else can make an item all class lol

Make Heavy only; Then it could be a nod to Heavy's beta melee choice.
otherwise, no thank you.

If this is going to be on spy, maybe consider adding a custom backstab animation? I imagine him raising the pipe above his and then smacking it down with all his strength. Think I'd be pretty funny.
Also MAYBE consider making the pipe a tad bit smaller? Just enough so it doesn't clip through the mercs' hands.

Not really sure if this being for every class is the best move, maybe for engi but not spy. I also think it would benefit from being sized differently depending on the class

we need more achievments valve!

the prinny machete on engineer though

This is neat but I dunno if it should be added on literally everyone lol

For as much as I find the idea of Spy running around and somehow getting backstabs, or the Engineer somehow being able to build buildings with a lead pipe amusing, logically even for TF2 that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. And to anyone who brings up the Saxxy or the Golden Frying Pan, those are straight up very special items that you'll rarely every get (or see with the former) so allowing every class to use those weapons make sense

Not gonna lie, this is actually pretty cool. I wish that it will oficially added into the game. I really want it.

SO BETA!!

i would love if engineer held this like a wrench and smacked it in his palm

It seems the in-game first-person screenshots are using a mod? The way they are holding the weapon seem to be different (pinky isn't out). I'd disable any custom mods (aside for the lead pipe itself, if it's replacing something), in order to showcase better how it would be in-game.

i'll forward your suggestion

can u give it the pipe sound effect

this might be our only chance to get a new weapon of any kind. sure it's likely a stock reskin but still I want to hit mercs with something new

Sir, please stop hitting my ribcage with a lead pipe.

It would be so funny if they added this for everyone BUT Heavy.

*hits u with a pipe* oh im sorry
*hits u with a pipe* sorrgy accident..
*hits u with a pipe*
