The majority of the names are either taken from TF2 Community Contributors in the Facepunch Community or are references to Valve-owned Properties.Ī reference to Sn1pe, the co-contributor of the Most Wanted taunt. The model used in the Sniper's Most Wanted taunt show off a list of names, and although it's hard to read the list while in-game, the names are much clearer on the texture. The text is not present in the alpha channel of the texture for the Primeval Warrior (platinum) badge, which was added a few patches later. Either way, it was left in the alpha channel. It is unknown whether the text is placeholder text that was originally used when the textures were designed, or if it was the original text that was to be on the badge. It is almost impossible to see on the Mercenary skin due to the darker alpha channel of the texture. It is much easier to see on the Grizzled Veteran and Soldier of Fortune skins. When viewing the model in HLMV, under certain lighting conditions the text can be faintly seen under the existing name text. In the texture files for the Grizzled Veteran (gold), Soldier of Fortune (silver) and Mercenary (bronze) badges from the 119th Update, when viewing the alpha channel the text 'EMPLOYEE CLASS' can be seen in the same location as the existing medals' name text. Various unused textures can be found in the game files.Ĭosmetics 119th Update Badges Hidden Text 2.1.1 Degroot Keep Scroll and Ticket Booth.1.4.1 Fire Retardant Suit Backpack Icon.
