Just two days after Valve released a new Team Fortress 2 patch, the developer has gone ahead and released yet another quick patch for their popular multiplayer shooter via Steam.The patch is mostly a bug fix update but there are a couple of notes that Valve meant to mention were included in the previous patch.

One is that the new Ambassador weapon (added during the Sniper-Spy content update) no longer penetrates building (which we are sure some people are not happy about). The other note is that movement speed penalty on The Razorback item has been removed. Again we are expecting to hear something soon about the next TF2 character class update.
