Just a few hours before Tuesday ends in the US, Valve has now launched the new update for their multiplayer shooter Team Fortress 2. As we have been reporting for the last week the update, launched via Steam, adds a number of unlockable achievements for the Scout class.

Reaching those achievements give players access to three new weapons/items, the double barrel shotgun Force-A-Nature, the baseball bat-ball stunner weapon Sandman and the Bonk energy drink that increases a Scout's speed for a few seconds. Three new community made maps and a revised version of a previous map were also released in the update.

People who were speculating that today might also reveal a new gameplay mode for Team Fortress 2 were disappointed. The final reveal on the TF2 Scout update web site was merely the results of last night's poll question where players let Valve know they wanted to unlock the Force-A-Nature weapon first for the Scout class, followed by the Sandman and Bonk.
