im surprised this have high positive rating

Valve has already added cosmetics that removed things. This wouldn't be any different.

whats the point? cosmetics are suppost to add things to a character not remove things.

God no

"oh, and i made it paintable... because i wanted to."
is this supposed to be funny, downvoted

yea

Darn, that's a shame

@Zeugziumy My original comment was in response to Trumpet's comment.

You can add flexes to bodygroups via DMX controls, but stereo flexes don't work with them - whether it is a bug or a hardcoded limitation, I do not know. Sniper's glasses need to be able to flex on one side or the other to match his facial expressions, which is why Valve never split them off as a bodygroup. The rest of the ones they added are irrelevant to the discussion because they never had flexes added to begin with.

Kinda reminds me of those early hats that just remove the default hats.

you can paint the cosmetic, but there is no paint region. so it being paintable its just a joke.
if valve actually adds this (weach is impossible do to obvious reasons) they probably gonna remove it, or ask me to remove it

basically: the paint region is a joke, not the cosmetic

Looking again at this, I'm still confused if paint does nothing as a joke or if there's a secret paint region. It would be funny if it just painted the little white collar of the shirt heavy wears under his outer layers. Or the tiny brown stripe in the middle of his default vest. Just something incredibly tiny but noticeable if one looks closer

Ill fix it

Danm true i forgot about that

Loadout 3 (TFC Heavy) would require a 4th cosmetic slot :(

I would paint it. For the funny

The tears of angry redditers who placed their "well spent money" on paint; and who placed it on this cosmetic, who then bitch and cry about it, will taste sooo good.

And the paintable part of the cosmetic. Its a joke i think its funny that it wont show by all means. But it changes the color of something.

If everyone insist ill do a paint showcase with all the colors

I promise it will be simpler. Close to the vanilla look

Since everyone said that the backpackicon should change to something better. Ill do a update on the backpack icon

hatless update turned bulletles update

If they can have hats that remove the default hats, they can do this lol

Lol true

Debuff: 100 less bullets on all machine guns.

sure

@Shakes
What do you mean? Bodygroup is just a toggleable functionality that shows or hide on the model. In technical terms, each bodygroup is a separate model inside the player model files. As far as I know, the Sniper's glasses can be taken out, Valve simply hasn't done that not due to limitations.

The vast majority of Bodygroups were added to the game to be used with promotional items, with some very few exceptions:

Scout's "shoes_socks" was for the Essential Accessories;
Scout's "dogtags" was for the Sign of the Wolf's School;
Soldier's "grenades" was for the Lumbricus Lid;
Pyro's "head" was for the Foster's Facade;
Pyro's "grenades" was for the Stockbroker's Scarf;
Pyro's "backpack" was for Scrap Sack.

Demoman's shoes were added on the same patch as the Conjurer's Cowl, which leaves me to believe there was supposed to be a shoes item for Magicka.

Pootis engage time...

Komrade Keith's Brazen Bandolier
Why this name? It's to follow the trend of older cosmetics that remove a class' notable piece of clothing (y'know, Baseball Bill's Sports Shine, Ritzy Rick's Hair Fixative, and Texas Slim's Dome Shine)

Sniper's glasses can't be turned into bodygroups because asymmetrical facial flexes don't work on bodygroups.

Could we see what the paint region is on this?

Hmm after this bodygroup, I wonder if they have more on the cards. Perhaps a bodygroup to remove legs and arms?... Nah that would be too much, perhaps Sniper can finally have that glasses bodygroup.

TAKE MY UPVOTES!

Mann's bout to make 1 morbillion bucks
